We recently had 2 1/4” of rain in 4 days. A neighbor/friend noticed his road was a little muddy. He found that a few ground squirrel had tunneled near is roping arena and out the hillside.

I recently acquired a 1964 M170 that’s been sitting for 10 years.
I didn’t need it or want it but a friend was moving out of state and had to get rid of it.
my first thought was to replace the stuck F134 motor with a Chevy V-6. In doing research, I have found that only 6,500 of these were made.
Expired 10500 lift slings
Used aluminum diamond tread for “cleats” to hold the ends together.

My truck...

I traded one of my vehicles for this 1960's JI Case 530 Diesel Tractor. Runs great but needs some TLC.
Anybody have a service manual laying around for one? Maybe ask your dad or grandfather?
Im on the fence about buying a Gooseneck trailer.
New ones in California are insanely overpriced. Used ones in California are the same price as the new ones out of state.
I found this Titan that is a bit overkill for hauling any of my rigs but it is priced right. It is only 2,000 miles away...
This is not Group Buy for bulk.

My iPhone 5 is on the 8.0.1...
Just picked up a bone stock 1996 FZJ 80. This is a super clean rig that a soccer mom has used as a daily driver since 2002. The engine was rebuilt at 220,000 miles. The head gasket blew at 242,000 miles, on Dec 2nd.
