Missouri Mule Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 300? 400?? Really didnt look that hard. I was trail riding in Mark Twain national forest and came across this rig. Just sitting there all by its lonesome. Looked like the guy just dropped the mic. Tools still in the toolbox and laying on the floorboard. It was far enough in the big timber I'm not sure how it ever got there or how long it's been there. And @sandhiller I found one of your slippery friends. You can come get it now. Picture doesnt do this guy any justice. It was at least 48" long stretched out and its body was almost the size of a Pepsi can at the largest part. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I guess I won't be looking for that tractor if there's snakes nearby..... 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Interesting, it's got the earlier 2 hyd cylinder fast hitch but only 2 hyd valves on the dash. Tho if I'm not mistaken you could fix either or both cylinders and still have the outlets available for other things. I'm gonna guess it's a 400 tho I'm far from an expert at telling the difference between the 2. Poor old thing. Lotta good potential parts there if nothing else 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1566Hog Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 It shows 300 right on the serial tag in the picture that I can see. Right above the splotch of red paint in the upper left corner of the tag. Curious of it’s backstory. Probably will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stronger800 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 If going by again ever, maybe take another smaller plastic container, like a peanut butter jar or maybe an oil bottle of some sort that’s plastic, and put it underneath of the coffee container so it’s double protected. Oil. dump it down the exhaust pipe and then use the jug as the cover. We rented an old Haybarn off of a guy’s family who had passed away for a while when I was a kid. There was an old Dodge pick up in there. Dad had me take a can of WD-40 or something similar, spray bottle of diesel, and spray as much as I could, mechanical wise, once every summer. It had settled to the axles into the ground, so we blocked it up. I wonder if it’s still there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not getting that close Me neither but when I smell cucumbers I take off like the roadrunner in the cartoon. I've smelled them dozens of times and never stuck around long enough to find out if it was really a snake. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few here in VA, but always up in the mountains in rocky areas. The ones I encountered were well aware of my presence and let me know if I needed to back up. Copperheads you could step on before you knew they were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres thousands of Miles of trails and that particular one isn't even really marked but somehow we both found it. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copperheads you could step on before you knew they were there. According to that link and what their map shows, those things should be no closer than 100 miles to me. And we all know the DEC would not lie about where animals are, -so I’m safe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
