I like that Gravely walk behind brush hog. You could get a sulky for them and ride.

There’s one for sale at the local import repair shop.

My thought is I wouldn’t use a single axle anything behind a motorhome . Just asking for trouble .

The wife went out to pick a cucumber for dinner last night and came back in the house all excited wanting me to go out and get pictures of this dragonfly.

That is a 3.5K axle at best.

i'd be surprised if it's anywhere near a 3500 lb axle.no brakes on it and puny little tires.i wouldn't be dragging a car around on it,even if it a cracker box car??

This truck delivered a large press to a local manufacturing plant. It has a rear engine as well as the regular tractor. How would you like to buy a full set of tires for that!

It’s pretty interesting how versatile and flexible those are to load/unload big big things…

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

This is random, but this little toyota lives a few houses down from me. Been admiring it as I walk or jog by for a couple years. Never saw it drive until this week. It was driven by an elderly gentleman probably in his 80’s at least. Probably bought it new. Definitely taken care of. It would be a perfect little parts store runner.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

I went to the UK home opener Saturday and from my location in the cheap seats, I could view one of the parking lots. This shows that all modern days cars are all black, white or some shade of silverish gray.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Matches your flowers and chairs What a magnificent sunset. My sister's place in VA on the mountain facing west gets the best views and of course great sunsets. I say she has a million dollar view. The same is true for your sunsets. Your house could be a shack, but worth $1,000,000 for the sunsets alone

I just took some Studebaker pictures this weekend

I've tried. Unfortunately, all I'm able to do is unplug myself and plug back in.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Nice! I also have a friend with a Silver Hawk.(I did not take this picture) Years ago I had a friend with a business called Royal Gorge Studebaker but he passed away. I'm not sure who ended up with all his cars and trucks and parts.
