from H to 80 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I don't think i've ever seen those style weights. I wonder if it came from Mike's,it looks restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G. Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I don’t think it’s one of Mike’s. He usually leaves his secret (semi-secret?) tell-tale mark on his restores, and I’m not seeing it on this one. 🤫 Lol… I sure wouldn’t be getting that thing hauled on an open trailer on those northern roads in the Winter if there’s a high risk of salt being on the roads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Fan Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Roads are pretty sloppy around here now, would hate to haul something that nice in these conditions. Really don't even like to get the hauling rig out on the road till they clean up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1256pickett Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Had a guy that used to work for a dealership tell me one time, anything moved on the roads in winter time wash with hot soapy water top to bottom. He would even wash the tires to keep the salt from running down onto the rims. Apparently he saw new balers come in one year in December from the factory by the time they got around to setting them up in spring the paint was flaking and rusting away.

I know I have bought a few things that I’ve waited a couple months to ok it being delivered to avoid the crap on the roads. If it’s snowed they are a mess and if it’s sunny but snow might be coming they’re spraying the roads. And if it hasn’t snowed in a while and they are bored they go spray the roads 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
