Well, here we go.
I left the truck until the next day, and then the bottom fell out and it rained.
Pulled the deuce back there, and pulled the truck out in idle :)
However, my brother has a medical condition that doesn't let him drive
so he's never backed up a trailer. Needless to say he...
On a side note, that load is free trusses from a schools roof that blew off.
I also have the tin. My dad gave me enough trusses and tin to build a 48 x 32
shop. I got free poles from work, and some free lumber from my brother.
So now all I need is some concrete for piers and a few more pieces...
Well, I got stuck in the yard, and if the tow rope hadn't broke, my deuce would have done it's job :)
Have to get a chain and my brother here tomorrow to unload the trailer and
help me with this mess.
Yep. Remember them at Ft. Sill in 97. No seats, just bars.
We were always packed so full, I would climb up onto the
upper bars to get some air. Not so comfortable with your
butt on a 1.5 inch tube :)
They are neat, but you don't want to go far or fast in one. They rock back and forth and bounce and will scare the **** out of you. I drove one to a fair distance one time, but I conned my platoon sergeant out of a lowboy and a M916 to drive it back !
I'd definitely add a lot of oil to it, and its free :)
I'll see if I can get some specs on the ink that's in it and in what proportions and post it up here.
I work at a plastic sheeting type facility and we have drums of used propyl alcohol with ink/pigment used for printing in it. Any thoughts on filtering, using this ?
Note: It's 99% alcohol when the drum is first opened.
Obviously mixed with some oil etc.
