Replacing A Motor

Glen was supposed to be hauling fuel on the ice roads for the mines this month, but while driving the trucks motor died, so now he is back which I am very happy about, but now they have to replace a motor. A daunting task for the immature but not for Glen and his brother who replaced the trucks motor with in 40 hours!! I am so proud of him. I tried helping, but apparently I am not a good mechanic, so I took the pictures. By the end of the day Glens face was so black his beard looked blonde.

Here the new motor is being lowered into the truck.
Coffee Break!

Cute, I'm sure Glen liked having you watch him replace the motor.
