Wreckerman screwed the pooch

[hndrsonj]

Not a good post title for Wreckerman, I was kind of wondering where he got a dog?? Anyway, call Tony he has a hood and grill and possibly a radiator. (Plus a block of wood you could use for a chock)

Rickard, do you need tonys number

 

[hoop]

It is only in the 90's....why do you need a rad?

 

[doghead]

Was the parking-brake off, after you saw what happened? I have caught my shorts on the p-brake lever handle several times and barely noticed it getting released. Other times I hit the outside of my leg on it and feel that good, but released it also.

Or, is your P-brake simply out of adjustment?

Zout can fix that in 4 hours. 3 if you leave it in primer.

"Oooops"
God Bless,
Tony

Yikes! Sorry to hear about your recent woes. Wish I had parts to help out.

Going out now to chock up my Deuce, even though on perfectly level ground.

think maybe it's time for elmo to drive?????????

 

[Tinwoodsman]

Or you could use him as a wheel chock!!!!

I know where some cucvs are that would work, no point in traumatizing ELMO

Jim......I'll call Tony tomorrow.....I know he has a butt load of parts over there...got a in tank pump from him a while back.....the radiator is the big issue.....mine is FUBAR unless I have it rebuilt.

Thanks for all the (im)moral support from the peanut gallery.

It's nice to know there are so many enablers out there that will help me keep my addiction going.

Apparently the trick is keeping your addiction from rolling away without you.

If WM is Soldier "A" that makes Elmo Soldier "B".

I would expect that in a situation like this,

Soldier "B" would be responsible for chocking the truck as he has little else to do

since Soldier "A" is the driver/operator.

So how is it that Elmo is not facing the same charges???????

'Possums deserve equal rights and responsibilities!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my "radiator" story Wreckerman...

In 2000 after I got my M1009 back from IL (and after drinking a 12 pack with the little lady), I tell her: "Let's go four-wheeling". She climbs in and I proceed to drive into my field knocking down 1-3" dia trees. My CUCV knocked everything down except for the larger trees which took backing up and charging "at ramming speed"...

All was fine and I was laughing so hard, I could barely see to drive. After coming out of my field, I do a u-turn and go back in the way I came. Came out the other end (starting point) and parked the CUCV to drink a few more. I look over from where I'm sitting and see liquid streaming out under the front. I walked over to the front and discover I pierced the radiator with a piece of tree branch and broke the plastic grill in a couple of places (pieces still in place).

The radiator repair cost me $250.00 for that 10 mins of "fun"...

Moral of the story: don't drive back on trails of knocked down trees AND think about NOT four-wheeling after drinking adult beverages...

Especially without adult supervision.

Especially without adult supervision.

You have to have the right adults supervising. I'm sure most of us around here wouldn't qualify.

Sorry to see your crunched Deuce WM. Apply hammer technology to the hood and grill. That and a little paint an it's good as new.

I'm not sayin' nothing about my screwups; the list is long and embarrassing.

 

[scrapdaddy]

That's a good point, if we all started fessin' up we'd be here all night. Glad everything is under control and maybe it would be a good time to paint the whole truck
