Let me put it this way. Your criteria for considering yourself OLD would qualify me as ancient:rolleyes: FarmwithMethuselah

He may well be, but who am I to say, seeing as to how I'm OLDer:pat:

Howdy neighbor! First off, you have to over look some of these east coast coffee swillin' YANKEE's. There seems to be a lot of 'em showin' up here. Oh well, there goes the neighborhood. And Ol' DOUGSTER, well, he's the semi-unofficial spokesperson at large for the eastern contingient. So he...

(A) This'n has a 2-5/16th" ball. That REDUCES the numbers of friends/family that have a way of hooking to it. (B) I keep it locked, so anyone wanting to use it has to come to me. Then they get the "I don't lend trucks/tractors/trailers/equipment/ect" speech. (C) People who know me well...

The gooseneck was (is) a 25'er. Bumper pull is 18' deck. Over-all length from rear bumper of truck to rear of trailer is 9-1/2' shorter for the bumper pull. The gooseneck has a considerable amount of space between the truck and the trailer's deck. This new trailer and it's "normal load" is...

That big ol' Dodge has a windshield that seems to catch all the bugs in the world:pat: Any bugs flyin' now have my respect. It's been below freezing for well over a week. Down to 6 degrees yesterday.

Had to take 'er on a test flight! Curiousity got the best of me. Today is the first day in a while it's been warm enough to do anything outside. (30 degrees....was 6 yesterday) So, I had to hook up the trailer, load up the MF and take it for a spin. After checking shipping weights a...

Let's start with the AVOID list first;:no: NO Fram filters. Once upon a time, they were considered among the best. Not any more. :pat: NO K&N filters. Their claims of improved flow are aceived by the fact they're not actually FILTERING air. Sorta like using chicken wire where you...

ACLU needs to hire themselves a new PR man. :pat: They might want to find someone else to pick on other than the USMC. :eek: Some people are their own worst enemy.

I lost my mother to the effects of Parkinsons. That was 6 years ago last week. She fought a good fight for 20+ years before she just had enough. I've seen what it can do to the person and to the family. I can only imagine that AND Alzhiemers at the same time. My thoughts and prayers go...

I could have ordered a trailer with a built in chain box. Problem was, it isn't big enough to cram in all the "stuff" I carry with each trailer. The inventory; 6 grade 70 3/8" chains, 16' ea. 6 ratchet binders for above 8lb sledge hammer w/16" handle 8 ton hydraulic bottle jack jack...

FINISHED! Like so many of us, I can't leave anything alone. Got to "improve" everything before using.:rolleyes: The new trailer needed a little personalization. I like to leave all the chains, binders, jacks, lug wrench, a sledge hammer, and a few other incidentals with the trailer. That...

Advertisment; Never stop self-promoting. Drop your name into every conversation you can. I printed up flyers and hang them EVERYWHERE. Probably 90% get snatched down because they don't belong where I'm putting them. Even so, I've got several good jobs as a result. Cards are cheap too. Hand them...

Rule of thumb on pricing; There is NO rule of thumb on pricing..... What works for ME might not work at all for you. I've learned to be flexable. I price some work by the hour. Some by the job. Some of my mowing is done per acre. No defined hourly rates for across the board publication...

Take my word on this'n. Wifey's been off work for 7 weeks on medical leave. She's been doing a LOT of cooking and baking. Holiday festivities included, I'm ROUND:pat:

Just call me butter, 'cause I'm on a ROLL!:yum: :yum: :yum: :yum:

YEP! Also, www.shoupparts.com or www.valu-bilt.com

I completely missed the TRUCK/TRAILER forum. Fatigue does strange things to the mind.. My Dodge is a quad cab, long bed, 4WD, 2500. It's long enough and heavy enough to handle a little weight on the bumper. The trailer is long enough and the axles are fairly well centered so as to carry the...

Hmmmm! After THAT comment, I might just give good cause to GET BANNED:shitHitsFan: No Dougster, I'm still 'round. Been EXTREMLY busy at work. We've got a couple carpenters off for medical reasons. I've had to step in and help with a couple jobs they were on. Also started a refresher course...

Either it's sheer boredom or total mayhem:pat: The 2 new Massey's are on the way. My old goosenecks are too small for them. So, I ordered a new Corn Pro 20,000gvwr 20'er, sold one of the 14,000 Ridgelines, and bought a 12,000 Lawrimore bumper pull low deck to haul the Massey 150 on. Below...
