Steve and Gardner, thanks both good info to add. I got
a call from

Canada
with the fix (RobR 93pt)It seems as the jolt was enough to

knock a poor ground wire loose on the jack. I reached ontop of the

jack and fiddled with the 3 wires and the jack extended with the

next attempt.



As per Gardners
post I set the tires down with a ton or two to keep

it from rolling. my bus is in gravel so I can steam the engine while

the radiator is out and I fear a chock will just skid. On the PT

the tag has no park brakes. when you think about it if the drive

axle bags bleed out, the bus would take off rolling on the steer and

tag!!!!!!!



Steve is that brake switch in the the generator radiator Bay?

green / white wire to both sides (this is from memory, an almost 60

yr old memory).
