Bigger tires I think is the first upgrade I'll be looking for. I think the 53's are to big, maybe something a bit smaller, but better than the NDT's There is a deuce bed in her future too! Adam, Thanks again! The winch was something I had on my list as a "must have" hope you get one too

So here are some of the pictures After we got to the Rail Road museum in Winnsboro SC, about 9:30, We met Adam and he gave us a quick once over and I went for a test drive with him, passed the check out and we hit the road about 11:15. My 70 year old father came with us and he rode the 25 or so...

Thanks All I want to do is drive my toy! No commercial hauling. Just enjoy my new hobby. But if I want to go to Haspin or Florida more than 150 miles I don't want major hassles

Ok, so I have read a LOT of CDL / 5-ton post and am pretty sure I'm headed down the "I'm getting a CDL" path... (with a non commercial farm Class A as a close second...) but my question is, after passing the written test, can I take my 1970's vintage M818 road tractor down to the DMV for the...
