I've gotten transport plates to move vehicles from Ct to Me. Location to location only, no cargo need proof of insurance not much money. A breakdown could be expensive with a heavy truck...

Load lighter and go more often? Kind of defeats the purpose of more axles. have some consideration for your wife driving some woefully underpowered POS. An old friend of mine told this story of the 50's or 60's. He worked for a local company hauling anything and everything otr. Single axle tractors. They sent him to Pennsylvania for a load of steel. Was loaded heavy as usual. He made back within 15 or so miles of the factory where there were two steep hills with a bridge over a stream inbetween. Ran as hard as he dared going down the first hill but he missed a shift going up the second. Got it stopped but not enough power to start the load so he backed down and as far back up the other hill as he could. This was a fairly major two lane road.... Repeated this performance 3 times and got less distance up the hill each time. Parked tractor and trailer on side of road. State police found him and the tractor wouldn't pull up onto scale due to lack of power. They called owner who sent another tractor to pull in tandem. Owner said fine wasn't all that much and sent him for another load. He said he made sure not to stop where it wasn't flat and never missed any more shifts.

A 427 Chevy was ok in ten wheeler with a 5 and 4 a 366 not so much. The flatter the terrain the better as always.

Is that an id plate on the drivers side valve cover? partially covered by gunk

Quite a while I would reckon. That looks like the little portable chargers, plug into a 15a outlet. IIRC the write up on the hummer EV said something like 7 days with that, 12 hours on the stage 2 charger (40a) and 2 hours on a fast charger. I expect the Lightning would be similar. I will go out on a limb and say that was a staged photo, but not so far from reality. The GMP electric line truck has a diesel pickup towing a diesel generator around behind it as a tender to follow it around during storms or when it has to go out after hours and isn’t fully charged.
Doesn't have power enough to tow the generator??

Looks like a shingle hammer for cedar shingles.
You split the shingle to size as needed.
It finally came to me-that's a cobblers hammer. First one I've ever seen with a nail pulling slot.

Shingling and lathing hatchets look like hatchets with a hammer head. My guess on that one would be for boxes or shipping crates etc.

When did "Buy clean fuel keep it clean" start and end? I have 1945 Farmall, 1963 Int and Cat with it and a 62 Farmall with pressure/ remove slowly. Did it start during WW 2?

have piston at TDC with valves closed when drilling/tapping

load test the batteries and then check system voltage with a meter. Good advise above but i always start with a load test of the batteries. Some parts places will do it for you for free.

An elderly fiend of mine used to remove the tags from his vehicles so he could take them with him anyplace he might need the number. The registry of motor vehicles was the most entertaining...

I think the excess slop, banging around, etc. comes from mismatched pintles and rings. If you have a big heavy trailer and you are pulling it with a pickup sized pintle hitch it's going to be sloppy.

Check rear spring bushings and shackles.

I have a 1945 with starter. Came in a take em all type deal so no exact $. It doesn't do a lot but I really like it. I'm sort of looking for a sickle bar mower and some cultivators for it. It's an improvement on the Jeep for pulling the firewood trailer and the wood splitter as visibility is better and more maneuverable than a 47 Jeep. I don't think I've seen one that runs advertised around here for less than 2k up to 3.5k for a really nice one particularly a Super A. Most had starters. Kept under cover is a plus.

I'm sorry to say the best parts support for older dozers is for Cat.

Losing a Johnson Woolen Mills jacket is indeed a tragedy. Hopefully it is just somewhere you haven't looked yet.
