Help for a friend on an M code mothership ?

[getlego]

Hi everyone it's been a while. A friend of mine Danny who I've never met has scored an M code and I'm not sure of the history of it. He said it was in a barn for many years. Seems to be missing an ash pan and triangle and wheels. If so what parts would work ? I will try to post the pic now.

Dude, that's an awesome score! I know the wheels on Ranch Kettles are the 8 inch diameter ones, so you can start there. I don't believe there was an ash pan put on the Ranch Kettle until its 1992 redesign as the Mothership-era Ranches didn't have one (Though I do remember seeing someone Macguyver an ash pan out of an old satelite dish once somewhere). Finally, I don't know what you can do for the wire triangle, but perhaps another forum member could hook you up with an extra OEM part or perhaps do a custom ash triangle shelf a'la the 50's Ranch Kettles? It wouldn't exactly match the era your grill comes from (1990) but it sure would look cool!

I wish it was mine but it belongs to a guy I met through offer up. I was hoping to help him out with some info. He's not a member of the WKC
