19richie66 17,508 #3557 Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) On damage patrol today. Wife went to the mall yesterday and came outside to this. Needless to say, it got a little warm at the mall. BUT, we came out on the good side of this one AND…..the Redsquare tag lives on. Even Wheel Horse tags are tough (that was a Dodge Charger) Edited January 1, 2022 by 19richie66 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A witness said they pulled in, got out and opened the hood, looked at the engine, closed the hood and went inside. This is what everyone came out to. They had just put out the fire when my wife came out. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,571 #3561 Posted January 1, 2022 This past fall while mold board plowing one of my friends Simplicity Landlord's had a major tranny failure. No warning noises, just BANG and it stopped moving. He scored a complete used tranny for $60. Today we swapped the tranny's out and got his tractor set up for snow plowing duty. Pretty easy swap on these tractors, about 3hrs start to finish. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #3562 Posted January 1, 2022 Short in the wiring or something.... they are machines made by man and the only option is good insurance. Look at the bright side Ritchie least your entire truck wasn't torched too. Nice Dan was going to ask about the donor transaxle. I know he said he didn't have a spare in the parts yard. Didn't know he used it for double duty as a push plow. Any idea why it let loose? Quit zooming in on the sticker on the side guys! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Wheel Horse tags are tough (that was a Dodge Charger) I worked 2nd shift for a while. Guy on 1st named Dan drove a 95 F150. He was always giving me a hard time. So I kept asking him how he got to work? He says my truck. But say BUT HOW do you get to work? After a week of this I started asking him if he had a fire extinguisher in his truck. Did it for about another week. I come into work one day and there are fire trucks there and a bunch of people standing around. I see 2 people I know and ask what happened? They say Dan's truck caught fire.It took out another Ford truck and a Tauras. The next time I saw him I said " Told ya!" He got a nice check. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #3572 Posted January 11, 2022 Up at the farm today. First job fit new chains to the barley crusher. Then drill a stantion to mount brackets for fixing a draught excluding netting sheet. Afternoon spent in a muck spreader shortening scaling chains. Fortunately it had been washed out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,496 #3575 Posted January 13, 2022 Long flat hood with maybe even a slight upward slope. Flat top sleeper. Straight Chrome stacks from the bottom up. Extended wheelbase. Like those extra lights behind the sleeper. That's a tough view with the mountain behind it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
