    poof ( blowing dust off of thread) Just want to say, I came across a FB group called "Old School Trucking" and advocated it's use. Tons of old pics, even some old cronies of mine I used to run with. I was warned, but like buying a truck ( or getting married), I didn't listen. I was used to the politeness( for the most part) and professionalism of TTR, and was appalled by the lunkheads, trying to out "Old School" one another, and rude, needless to say, I quit that foolishness for the unity of TTR. So there, and I'm not too sure that's scrap on that wagon. It could be just delivering a press of some sort. It's chained down too carefully to be scrap, I think. Good thing the circus was in town,,,

    It’s got the t-handle door latches and the tilted K-W four bar nose ribbon just the way KW’s should be.

    Nice. I love the way you loaded that little dozer inside the rails. Where there’s a will there’s a way. Have you ever noticed it it’s always a matter of inches.?

    I used to have a customer that did a lot of work for the USFS on the CA central coast.. There were a few jobs waaaaay back in the forest and instead of making 2 trips, I'd put his D-4C on the neck, sitting level and the Cat 936 loader on the deck. Not sure how close to legal it was.
