Ugh, the dreaded mudflap prune. I've done that so many times. Highly aggravating.

Here's one for ya,
My epic fail for that day!

One sweet looking rig right there!

Those tires are what helped you climb those dirt hills so well. That wouldn't have happened with NDTs.

Sure?

Good fit; nice work. Who sewed that all up?

I have that same sewing machine.

Nice item. Got a buddy lives in Annapolis; big time sailor of wooden boats, and I think he's got one of the same model also (makes his own sails):

- Looks cast iron. That so?

And is that treadle on the stand functional for something?

This is a "walking foot"machine,and yes heavy.
Which part were you referring to AA?

Guessing it's the on/off "run" switch for the needle

 

[RAYZER]

Yes,foot control.

 

[R Racing]

You ought to offer the 5th wheel covers ? That 1 looked Awesome !!

 

[welldigger]

Yes,foot control.

And instead of varying the speed of the motor the foot pedal operates a clutch.

Nice commercial machine you have there RAYZER. I have thought about getting a good sewing machine to sew up heavy canvas material, but all the money needed to get a good unit and then all the practice needed to make good stitches was more then I'm willing to do at this time. Also when I mentioned it to the wife, she gave me that "not again look"
