It looks pretty darn old, but also looks like it's not military and probably very low hours. My guess is it's a 5000 watt or 5500 watt unit, I have only seen pictures. I'll send a text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKwelder Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 peonies are coming up Mailman brought my shipment from Webb's so i could put the sickle mower back together, between that and the garden tractor i mowed the ditches, and got it cleaned up. We have turned dry now, very dry, and hot. i think we may have hit a record of 92 yesterday, so things are changing fast. let me see if i can get some more pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baradium Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 AKwelder, here's a bit of what went on yesterday with us. We had to close the road for a while due to the visibility from the smoke. I ended up driving the Transtar II firetruck on this one. You can see it in the facebook video (the lower of the two videos). I ended up getting repositioned shortly after this video towards the head of the fire on the south end of the road where we concentrated on making sure it didn't make it across the highway.

Weather guessing, I had a lot of plans to get things done today, but after picking up the 4 bottom plow I won at the auction, I'm soaking wet and not sure I'll get anything else actually accomplished. I need to grow something I can harvest in the rain.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a swing, forest fires on Friday, BBQ at the neighbors last night and the fire service was going overhead for some fire, and it is drowning today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is hard to spend that much on a smoker, but they work and I would have spent more by the time I had built something. We are already thinking about doing some ribs and a few other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
