totto, Thank you for the info and offer. What I have learned is the dump was added on at a later date, and from the looks of the "install" it was "rigged to fit". No plates or directions on how to operate it. According to Dave Gunnarson who has done extensive research on the 1935 & 1936 Model...

cas3, Thanks for the idea. I am thinking I may try that first.

Yes, that is definitely on my short list of wants.

That is something I have been thinking about, how to do it without damaging the letters underneath.

Model51, Yea you are not that far away from me at all. I use to work at the Harley Dealer in Fairfax City. Definitely would like to catch up with you and check out your projects as well. Jeff

Frank, yes it is a dump bed. I know the levers have to do with PTO and Dump but I haven't gotten into how they work yet. I am sure getting that working again will be its own project in its self.
