ear protection
a toolkit. (a good one)
an axle set of brake shoes
a hub seal kit
axle shafts
rebuild kits for all the hydraulic bits (or spares)
fuel pump or rebuild kit
engine oil (enough for change, more if you leak) +filter
gear lube
If you've got an overdrive, the bits you need if it breaks.
random electrical bits - wire, terminals, crimp tool, mult meter
Ignition bits -- plugs, wires, points, condensor,cap
cell phone
AAA membership card
luck
Water pump
Any other spares you've got that will fit (I'm led to believe a cylider head
and gasket set is handy.)
That's pretty much my spares kit. It generally seems to be enough, except
when I'm not carrying the head or overdrive bits.
