    My New 5 Ton

    Brian, I'm only slightly confused but is that an 818 or an 813. I thought the 818 was a tractor. I guess it could be one with the fifth wheel removed and a bed installed. Just curious and either way it is a good looking truck. Congratulations. sw

    I need lube

    The 20 foot ones usually cost twice as much as the bigger ones. They are more valuable because they can be used in smaller areas. Bummer, I want to put a 20 foot one inside my barn as a shop.

    Road trip to Alaska

    Ferro, I always wanted to do a cross country on a motorcycle and I did it in '79. I've also been to Alaska and it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Plan to stop in the area if you come up this way. I'm sure the guys in the area would want to see you. You can park it anywhere you...

    This is why I do not like working in the dirt

    They had the 60inch one for $49.99 last weekend. I have one of the 48s but until it gets broken in a little better the paint won't let the latch slide easily and it hangs up coming down. But it will jack up just about anything. I use mine on trailer tongues since I'm not picking them up any...

    This is why I do not like working in the dirt

    I agree with Frodo, get wood cribbing timbers. Now that my barn has electric and water to it I plan on actually using it work on my equipment. I'm going to run over to Home Depot and have them cut up various size timbers so I will have an assortment on hand. A guy next door had a car fall on...

    my local salvage yard has been crushing deuces *tears*

    What a shame. The desert tan truck looks to be in great shape from this side of it. Scrap prices are still depressed (or my Brother would take his scrap in) so why just scrap the rest? Stubborn maybe?

    Needle scalers to remove rust and paint

    Don't forget to have someone try to sleep next to the truck while you are using the needle gun. Look at the avatar, it isn't like I haven't tried sleep during a paintex........... ;-)

    saw an old soldier

    Sort of like a backhoe with the digging bucket extended all the way out without the outriggers. You can take one hand and push down on the bucket and raise the front of the tractor off the ground. Leverage is your friend (sometimes). sw
