AKwelder Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Saw this at the gas station yesterday stopped and talked to the guy, he uses it to go deep into the back country moose hunting and was fueling up to do just that. Loves it i have been working on setting up poles and a winch in the new truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Just moose hunting? Looks like he could do a little logging and drill a few oil wells too! Nice set up in the truck, good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves it i have been working on setting up poles and a winch in the new truck I saw that tractor going down the road, he had a normal moose buggy on the trailer IIRC. I wondered if that's what he was doing with it, while it's an interesting setup, I'm not really convinced that's really the most practical moose buggy. You've been quite busy with that new truck I see. You have a counterweight in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get the tail done I will have a 4000# truck on one side of the fulcrum and the boom on the other, what cold go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first wrecker "slide in" boom cloned yours except it only extended about a foot past the bed. HAND winch too! I had some beefy biceps back then. Nice fab work AK!

AKwelder Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Things have been kind of off lately, trying to work on a few dozen items, but work just isn't cooperating . I spent Labor Day weekend in Valdez with a 48" hole saw punching new branch lines in a header, home Thursday, and boy are the leaves going fast. Spent today running an underground power line to the new well house from this spring time to start buttoning up the gin pole truck, move some equipment, and get a few wrench jobs done. And as they say "Winter is coming " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardDSalyer Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Indeed. I too am guilty of owning green and yellow varmints, model 420 mower with a Honda 20 HP replacement motor and 6o inch deck and a model 322 with Yanmar engine and 54 inch deck. These were late 1980's model Deere mowers prior to introduction of the cheaper model mowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKwelder Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Used my gin poles today that welder is well over 2000#, the poles work great, but it sure is a load on the springs. Time for airbags and low boy tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
