  1. Give me a little and I'll find the add in Lancaster farming. Company deals in floater truck wheels/
  2. Exactly! The cheap haulers are trucks band-aided together with duck taped papers on the door with their ICC numbers. Good quality service costs.!! It aint 1975 with .90 cent fuel anymore.
  3. Friend of mine said it costs him 2.50/2.75 a mile just to cover all cost. Nothing else. 1500/2000 isn't outlandish.
  4. Early fencing pliers??? I see what looks like a wire cutters, Flat face for a hammer, staple puller. Just a gues.
  5. Down here those are called pavement princesses.
  6. Foundation Of Real Drivers!!😃
  7. Happy birthday sir!!
  8. IH Horse drawn side delivery rakes used a bearing like that. Not sure the part number. The rake I had was a four bar roller type. 12 foot wide, Twin dolly wheels in rear. Maybe also check the old dump rakes and hay loaders. Lots of older equipment used them.

    Drivers

    Where I worked driving dump truck we had buzzers. Shop got tired of replacing pto's . I would think it all goes back to situational awareness. Gotta keep looking. If the back of cab doesn't have a window then it won't be light coming thru that way,but check your mirrors. I would think a bed that high would sway a lot. On top of the tranny being extremely hard to shift like ours were. Plus like was said. Pto sceaming at you.
  10. Look up around DC for auctions. My boss bought two IH single axle dump trucks that had loaders on the front. Lifted over the cab and dumped into the bed. Used for scooping up animals that died from being hit. Maybe other big metro s have them to.
  11. Will be praying.
  12. Started Dewalt but switched years ago to red. M18 platform. Only real problem I've had is the drill chuck. Don't seem to last in a welding shop where your changing bits. Use my 1/2 inch impact almost daily in the shop. Just did pads and drums all the way around a 10 wheeler yesterday and that Mil 1 inch impact while heavy as a leaded hog is a beast on lug nuts. Haven't found a rusted lug it hasn't beat.
  13. Only thing on that boat sticking in the water when you jerk the throttle will be the prop!!! 😀
  14. M Me to. Part time auctioneer told me, I've pulled a bid off a horses ear to get something started. Another sale 30 minutes southeast of me I won't attend ever again. Bid on stuff, get out bid, next months auction it's there again but in a different row. Sold a dozer, Equipment jockey walked up to truck, mumbled something about not getting enough for it, and they sold it again. Said to my self. Never again.
  15. Will A hyd jack work on it's side?? I've never had one that would. Don't know what your budget for a welder is but Watch facebook and those types of places. A welder of whatever brand you want will show up. I'm a firm believer, buy once, cry once... I bought a Miller 252 this spring that didn't have much wire run thru it. Prob one or two rolls. 3400 cash with a half full tank of gas, Half spool of wire and a 25 foot 220volt heavy duty extension cord. Best money I spent. Welding store told me I got 5600 bucks worth of stuff. Said that welder will last 20 plus years at least. Welding shop here has several Miller 252's that are pushing 20 years and they get used hard every day.
