Minnesota,Wisconsin,Iowa, Dakotas GTG's thread

[HEAVY FUEL]

Mines going to stay stock. I want it for towing the skidsteer, going to GTG's and carshows, and just driving around. My diesel runs excellent but the old 91 Dodge body isn't in the greatest shape.

Don't worry Andy! We won't tell Sarah....

You can't even tell if your heading north or south let alone see Iowa. It might not be 25 below right now but wow is it nasty cold out.

Jon that one is better than the one from last year when you were on hwy 52 near zumbrota. IIRC you only had one set of tracks to follow and the snow was over a foot deep.

Me and Sarah are cutting wood out by the wood boiler tomorrow if any one wants to join in on the fun they are more than welcome too. Just let me know. It should be fun, we cut and can take a break in the shop if we get cold.

Sounds fun but I have to help a guy install a heater to thaw out some frozen lines. When are you going to start listing your saws for sale in the trading post

Matt, you looking for a grain body, construction dump, or whatever you can lay hands on? Budget? Care if it comes with a beater truck? I might have an idea where something is.

My plan was for an 18' flatbed with stake pockets on the sides and a permanent headache rack in front..
I would build sides for grain, and make em remove able.. Need it to dump also... Tall order eh??

Used to have some Crysteel boxes at the canning plant I worked at in the mid-90s that were convertible from grain to flat, took a couple guys a couple hours to take the sides and endgate off/on. Might look for one of those.

Think I need to stop going to auctions. Went to one at a small engine/mower/saw shop this weekend and came home with 3 more projects in boxes and 1 parts hulk. They are a stihl 026 and ms260, both are plain jane non decomp verisons, dissaseblemed in boxes and coffee cans. What looks to be a low-use 019t (hardly any wear on the spur) that just had the clutch cover, bar and chain taken off and then put in a box, and a j-red 830 parts hulk that was in a junk pile. The 4 saws followed me home for $50 for all. Also was able to pick up a couple new OEM stihl bars and chains as well, already sold all but 1 bar and chain to recoup gas money. I'll try to post some pics if I can figure out how to in this new format.

No... But the girlfriend had a nice little appetizer set up for me when I got home Yesterday about 2 o'clock... It was a little too chilly to sit on the patio and enjoy it So I just plugged in the milk house heater and we sat in front of that.
