    To be honest if I can con someone into going with me, might have to make a run down to see the Arkansas legend @wore out

    For $2k or what the man wants that's hard to pass up. Then I'll have me a backup!! Lol :D Or sell her off.? Really just feel bad making her a parts truck..

    Or

    You're long overdue for a spell of some good fortune. Hope you get the bugs worked out on the Petercar sooner than later Amigo..

    Con is such a....pejorative word. I like, volunteer. What's your time frame on thinking of doing this?

    I have an aforementioned issue that needs attending to keep me legal, so...I'm coming up on that requirement shortly, and also, probably my last time to renew my license for another 4 years, w/Hazmat endorsement. Lots to do, little time. But the physical has to come first, due this month, and I just got a shot today to help with my 1.5 week nerve impingement issue. (Stupid reason it happened, but...age has it's problems o_O ) Feels better, don't want to put it back into hurt mode so soon, so time frame will be an important consideration. (At least now the physical can't say I have a nerve problem requiring limitations) :(
    You looking at a sooner trip or a cooler trip? :)

    Sure as heck don't wanna go down there with the mercury pushed passed the 100°f mark I keep seeing down that ways..

    Knowing my time line for stuff like this, that motor be gone by time I'm ready.?

    Mind you I've been outta work since May 4th.. Mail truck ain't shut down cause me. It all kept show'n up,
    house bills, keep'n up with authority stuff, insurance, travel to look at a dozen trucks, buy'n one cash, & most expensive feed my tape worms..

    I'm lean right now, ain't got this white FLD shook out just yet & don't know what all it's gonna want in the near future.

    So that motor gots to wait..

    FollowIng up, here is a vid of what we had. Model 62, with onboard engine, bagging and sacks there. The dump pad was a slide chute on ours.
    So we just jammed the 1st sack crossways piled on behind/on top, and kicked them loose in line next round.
    Bro on platform stayed busy in good grain.

    And here is the IH45T twine tie baler that I scored the SK tool set by making it knot and tie the right side of a bale. 17/18 yr old, neighbors machine.

    Refer to my post #215147 on the tools...
