Took the 5 ton on an ice cream run

Mama wanted some ice cream and I needed some oil and anti freeze so off we went to wally world and then to a local ice creamery.

Geez, thanks! Now I want ice cream... and a 5-ton!!

Seems like a little overkill to pickup ice cream, but I like it!

 

[kblazer87]

It's never overkill. It's always just enough.

That's called picking up ice cream with style

It was actually the first trip out with the m1082 behind it.
This is how I am taking it to our local Memorial Day parade next Monday and I wanted to make sure all was copacetic prior to the parade. It pulls well and as far as could tell the brakes and all the lights are good to go. Now if I can just find the handle for the jack I will be in fine fettle.

its required to fill it to max capacity with icecream

I had to make a crank handle for my M1082. Trying to buy one is fruitless.

Applause & Salute !

I am thinking the same. Would you be able to snap a pic or two of yours? I am also going to see if the handle off my m101a1 might work as the gear is stripped in that ones landing gear.
