[AT] Belarus 822

[Cecil Bearden]

I should have said it was a 825, the 822 model is a 2 wheel drive.  I 
have been working on it all day to get some minor things done, and 
checking all fluid levels.  It had a leak under the seat of the cab, and 
I had to take the floor out of the cab to tighten a hydraulic line.  So 
while it was out, I threw away the old wool felt insulation and used a 
3/4 thick rubber horse stall mat for a floor mat.  It will really dampen 
the noise and not collect moisture to rust the cab.
