A couple years ago there was a guy on the Avant group on FB that posted several pics of his rig. He had a Chevy Topkick and loaded his Avant sideways behind the cab using 10' aluminum ramps. In fact I ended up buying those ramps from him after his Avant got repossessed for non payment. But just...

added a hitch to my trailer so I can move chippers on jobs, one crew I work with chips into trailers a lot and always chains them to the doors to move them, now I get to be the cool guy that can actually move it without spending an hour messing with chains and stuff falling off! I've got room...

When I was 7 years old I spent the summer with my grandfather. He lived in Connecticut and had a summer house in Maine. We went up there for 2 weeks before his wife could join us so we got to do a bunch of man things. One of which was riding around in his WWII army Jeep through the woods...

Worked on my manlift this afternoon. The last nice weather for about six months. :lol: Big mess. If I can make it work, then both cables will need to be replaced.

I once hauled a minivan and oldish bmw away from the house of a friend of my grandfather’s with a Willy’s wagon as payment. Only problem was it had been parked next to the grass for years and the sprinklers rusted one side all out. I got it running and drove it around a bit. A guy talked me out...

S800tx mini. You can only see four inches of the belt under the hood. Getting it on the crank should be fun. Not to mention I volunteered to help spread 100+ yards of chips at my girls school.

My bud brought one of those back from Texas in the late 70s. He bought it from a small airport that had used it to tow planes and carry tools. Nice and solid. He kept it a few years and sold it to a friend. Have not seen it around recently.

Jim, always fun to read you!

I bought a Yamaha Big Bear recently. It had sat around. Carb did not look bad, so I cleaned it up and it would fire but not run. Rebuild kit, no run. Bought a cheap chinese. Same exact problem. I got thinking maybe it is not a carb problem. It had good spark and good fuel flow. Big money...

I wonder if you can make your own parts if you buy the right materials?

A bunch of those came off my trailer tire yesterday. One nearly slapped my arm as it whizzed by.

Homie in Kingman might know

@Burnham progress on the bike is paused as I research and source a quality carb rebuild and fuel pump. Searching google is like filling a shot glass from Niagra Falls. Lots of $20 Chinese trash, and the actual Honda parts seem to be unobtanium. Maybe I shoulda bought a damned Harley after all...lolz

No, mine was a pre-Jeep Jeep :). Like this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_Jeep_Station_Wagon

I'm guessing it's bad location made monitoring it hard or impossible therefore it was allowed to run past its normal lifespan and shit the bed at the worst possible time. Which machine?

‘53 Willy’s you could sit on one side of the engine and pass wrenches over to your buddy on the other side. Burnham, was yours a Deluxe 685?
