Here are a few pics I took this past Saturday. Loaded up to go to a local plow day. Even though the weather was perfect there was almost no turn out, but I still enjoyed it. The boys enjoyed riding around the neighborhood afterwards.

| I can't seem to post the other pics because they have the same name? It says I should rename the pics but I can't find a way to do that. I am trying to post from an iPad. Any suggestions? |

| LOL. Maybe it's the lay of the ground where you load the trailer, but it looks like your Dodge is ready to do some plowing in your yard. LOL. What size engine lives under its hood? |

| The truck is on more of an incline than it looks, the trailer has plenty of clearance on level ground. Thanks for the comments we are proud of the tractor and truck. I found the truck advertised and thought it was too good to be true but looked at it anyway and I'm glad I did. It only has a little over 125k miles and is somewhat original. The paint is still original(except the right front fender) and that says a lot because Dodge only used tinted primer on some of these trucks when new. It has a 360 in it that runs smooth and quit and will burn as much gas, diesel fuel, kerosene or fire wood as you can put in it. I only had to give $1600 for it and have only spent about that much again on routine maintenance items. The tractor is very tight, it couldn't have been used much. The previous owner didn't know much about it but thought it had seen light use as a backup tractor then was repainted and kept when the original owner retired. It has almost no wear on the drawbar, lift linkages or any of the control linkages. The ground on our property is almost the same as beach sand so I enjoy the plow day because the ground is much better where it is held and the tractor gets a little more of a work out. At least there the harrow will open the governor up a little if you bury it. I will post more pics once I figure out what I am doing wrong. |
