    Boy isn't that the truth. I never did any roofing on a crew but have had my share of nasty, dirty jobs.

    Whenever I hear someone say that flatbedding is hard work I just laugh. You work for what 30-60 minutes and can take a break whenever you want? Apparently they have never worked on a chicken farm, shoveled cow #### or bucked hay bales. I did that plus worked a livestock auction every Saturday along with cleaning up after the auction.

    I have a '38 Mpls Moline ZTU that was his.
    Block was broken and was patched with a big thick piece of rubber and some 3/8" bolts. Rear tire had a big hole in it. It was patched with another piece of that rubber and some more 3/8" bolts. He was a character I guess.

    Nothing personal but I went to flatbed becuse I am lazy a day job hate getting up at 2am take breaks when i want ( every 2 1/2 hr to walk the dog ) and anyone who thinks 1 1/2 hours to tarp & secure a load constitutes a days hard work really needs to go move back home with mom and dad
