    I run a sears seat....Probably the only reason I can still drive....it works for me.

    I spent my younger years on a B John Deere pulling a one row David Bradley picker pulling a David Bradley barge. I was the corn kicker if you know what that is. Had a David Bradley rake also. We had a two bottom on steel with a trip rope with 12's....the B wouldn't pull 14's.

    So it seems fittin' my butt rides in a sears.


    And yes I know they ain't the same company but they are made in Iowa.

    We have a Sears in our T800, I don’t care for it but that doesn’t mean much.

    I've been noticing some bad frame jacking on the truck I'm replacing the radiator on beneath the fifth wheel plate. Today I decided to tackle that while its in the shop. Broke half the bolts off with the impact and had to torch the rest, then air hammer the rest out. It's amazing what road salt will do to a truck. This is about the only bad spot on the truck.

    I have a 93 KW that is way worse then this. That truck is even double framed so you can just about imagine.

    I HATE SALT!!!!

    @SAR , last time I did what you are doing, i bought a new needle scaler and went to town on my frame before I painted it.

    It works really well, but 2 things I learned fast:

    Get the best dam ear plugs to can find, and have plenty of extra scaler needles
