    That Rock was my test place for all my vehicles I restored. Great way to prove they can climb, stop, E-Brake works and get out to take a picture. That was the hardest part getting out and holding the door open. I field stripped it when I got it, most of the front was stuffed in the bed with...

    Winters are a blast at times, I need my tractor to keep it open. This winter I will test how good the M1078 does in fresh snow. We get these drifts over night and I enjoy clearing snow in the new tractor. I would have drove the M1078 thru this just to see how it does in it.

The 6x6 was a Spliced WC63 to the front section of the PW I tore it down and got rid of the junk and just started over. Made the Dump Bed...

I am so into the M1078 I am totally hyped up. It is good for my PTSD to have something to work on. I know I will say I will just...
