Hello Arthur, There is a cheap Tag-Along deck over trailer on Main Rd. At Laurel Stone Supply. (Don't know if its still there) It's a Hurst 9ton with triple axle and electric brakes. The wood would need to be replaced but otherwise is complete and has a nice tongue jack. He wants $1,200...

Yamma Hamma! You need a DoAll band saw :D Nice substitute method though :o I like the serpentine leafsprings.

Wow ArmyMan thats an amazing tidbit of history. The chassis of those trucks must have softened up quite a bit after that workout. Hi Unstopable, You barely put a dent in its carrying capacity. In my personal opinion, a "safe" maximum bed load is 18,000-20,000lbs. carried on a paved or hard...

Wunderbar!! Much nicer than my Deuce. Is there a "correct" color for the wheels? I like them green but have seen black as well. Benni, have you seen the 5Ton dump sitting on Sound Ave. Might be good for parts but it's been there for years and the owner also runs the golf course and wants...

Hey Benni, Welcome aboard fellow Islander! Let me know If I may be of any assistance. Are you in the truck club? See you around.

I like how the outriggers tuck in under the truck. You almost don't notice them. Thats some counterweight. :drool:

Outstanding! It appears that interest in this event is growing. I know its six months away at this point, but time catches up to you. Get started now on that list of things to be done on your Deuce etc. I have a crap load of stuff to do myself. "If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing...

I'm also guilty of hauling large objects in small cars. About a year and a half ago, I rode up to Yonkers to pick up an engine and tranny in my Valiant (Al Bundy Mobile, although not a Duster.) The 360's oil pan sump fit nicely in the recess of the spare tire well. If the carb was off I'm...

Yeah cab repair can get involved. When pulling things apart on my 69 Chevy C-30, I ended up drilling out all of the spot welds on the cowl panel to get at the gutter and the kick panel vents. Numerous cardboard templates and a 4'x8' sheet of 18ga. CRS later and it was done...Along with cab...

Thanks for the advice JDToumenator and company. I will try both the pressure washer AND thinner.

This is somewhat MV related... What is the safest way to remove paint from a data plate without removing the important stuff? Acetone? A heat gun? I just acquired a Vintage Cletrac model EHG crawler c.1937-41 with a 30HP 4cyl Hercules gas motor. It's complete but needs "the works." The...

Holy Fng Shiite!! Love the long hood. Is the front axle tucked back like a logging truck? Wow that must be wierd to shift with your left.

RE: Big Tonka It takes courage, determination and patience to jack up a house. Excellent job [thumbzup] Most people don't spend a dime on the foundation and it's the most important system of a house!! Crawler Loaders are sooo cool.

Nice bed and lights!! You most certainly need a welding machine BFR. You don't know what your missing!! :o I don't know how I could live without my: -Oxygen/Acetylene setup -Lincoln AC/DC Arc 250Amp -Miller Millermatic 175Amp MIG -Miller Trailblazer 300Amp Engine Driven Arc with water cooled...

Whats the box at the front of the cab? tools? Is the rear winch hiding underneath? Whats the winch capacity? Neato Bent stuff theory: 1.) Maybe they had the auger going a few feet in the ground and the guy hit the lever that makes it go front-back, left-right and put some serious torque...

:drool:

Correction: Sturgis, not Custer

If anyone is interested there are three Gamma Goats for sale at www.zigenquip.com in Custer, South Dakota. They are in nice shape though painted red.

I like all of your "crazy" ideas Houdel but I really like #3. Using electricity to heat your batch seems counterproductive so using something that would be thrown out is great. And it's much easier to turn on a glycerin powered heater than to set up an elaborate solar box system. I too am...

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm doing more odd jobs that require a machine but never have enough up front cash. It is a real pain sometimes to rush knowing you have to spend time during the workday fueling and washing your rented machine and hauling it back before they close. After...
