Sometimes, we have to let them go to new homes so that we can take in new ones that need our care and attention.
Let's play a fun game, let's post pics of Kenny's tractor from over the years! Here it is in front of my house at the Ga Rally '07.

Kenny got money??
dear Cenny
I am searching for an external assistance because I are having problems recovering a large deposit made by late father, brother, Uncle overseas
since the company maintained that instructions left by our late father, brother, Uncle the original depositor states that the funds be "RELEASED TO MY FOREIGN REPRESENTATIVE ONLY", believing he would appoint someone by themself to represent him for the claim but eventually they died earlier thereby making it impossible for me to go any further regarding this claim.
Most importantly, your ability to put the said funds into circulation wisely for our joint interest and relocating us is a major considerable factor regarding our request as our knowledge on financial matters is not enough to handle an amount of money above (us$10,000,000.00) ten million alone.
On your personal advise,We are also considering the below options as areas
relative to our interest to put the said funds working.
1) hospitality industry
2) farming and acquisition of farmlands
In view of this, if you are touched to work with me in sincerity, by standing as my late father, brother, Uncle foreign representative to receive the said
deposit on our behalf, we shall embrace you as our new found parent/family and will compensate you accordingly.
As you indicate interest, please be fast to contact me on to enable us to give you further information relative to the presence/position of funds and the
steps we shall take to finalize on the project.
Do not hesitate to include your personal telephone/fax numbers as this
will facilitate communication between you and me.
Thanking you in advance for your kind and urgent response, more so for
keeping our proposal to your self.
Sincerely
W. Harris

sak, gonna put it on the new (to me) dropside if I ever get it home. Check with Matt in Live Oak. I know he doesn't have the winch itself but he does have everything else but the shifter data plate for the PTO. Adelmans in OH has winches for $325 IIRC
FT, it's been a good truck and I'll miss it but change must happen. I remember watching my old M35A2 leave the motorpool, watched it as it dissapeared out of sight. Nothing like the M887 I sold. I've never recovered from selling that truck. I still trip about the yard whilst kicking self in posterior area.

No, he won't do that. It will be a frame up resto I believe.

I'll add a pic of Kenny's truck. This is how it looked when he got it from me. That FL sun really is tough on the trucks!
