Purchasing a used Pete

Low to the ground isn't necessarily a good thing when it comes to trailers, it's sometimes necessary though to keep your load height down. The trailer in the pic will hang you up fast.

When you see a hump in the road, you've got to decide to stop or go for it. If you commit to go for it, you've got to go and not let out of it. If you do commit and don't make it, you are going to be stuck bad.

 

50% of all drivers ride motorcycles.

 

For a properly built truck, number of miles doesn't matter, it's up to the driver(s) of the truck to treat it well. With good drivers, proper maintenance and professional rebuilds, a truck will go on forever.

Maintenance history and oil samples are going to be the things that tell you if a truck has been beaten to hell or not.

 

It's called RigDig.

Nor for soft tails. I had the shocks cut to lower mine. And it could be harsh at times.


The thing that gets me with an older truck, and I would like to do one some day, is the frame. You can replace and rebuild the rest, but what when the frame rail snaps?

I see older ones that take a lickin on keep on tickin, but anything metal has a fatigue life.
That's my only concern with an older truck.

And I hope somehow Trump's new transportation secretary does away with e-logs, but I will have an older truck within 4 years if she doesn't.

 

I have to ask, what in the world is that thing on the deck? Why does it have to be so freaking BIG.

 

Ive thought about it, I still think about it. Ive ridden bikes before, just not very well. Im actuallybetter with a freaking Horse. And not so well with those either...

 

It's a air scrubber for a tile furnace. It's basically a big fiberglass tank with some sort of filer media inside. Doesn't weigh much at all, just big.

It was delivered to the plant lying down on saddles. We unloaded at the plant outside and the shipping company took the saddles back with them. When we got ready to move it inside without the saddles, the only way to move it without damage was to leave it standing up.
