Wow!
And just so I can keep everything straight - this is not Bonnie, and it is not Delancy's Pig, correct?
This is a different Pig that I do not remember where she came from.
 
It was like that and I can only assume. To secure canoe or help tie down the load on original rack. Kept for posterity
It is cool keeping some of the PO mods like that!

Ah, right! This is the Pig that you brought to Junction for paint way before Bonnie came to live with you, correct?

Back when you were livin' in the Boat!
@PabloCruise I purchased this pig in 2021 from two brothers whose grandpa bought it new for his ranch outside La Pine Oregon. Left Glenwood immediately after kids track meet was done and road tripped to pick up.

They were great and we relaxed around kitchen table and had some fun talk before I had to go.

Adventures never end with these. Just experienced Kim in drivers seat backing off tilt trailer without power. Multiple pumping brakes and pushing clutch in as it was trying to come off trailer was pretty humerous. I had it safety strapped in rare instance it got some speed to head towards shop. Kim definitely made it a point not to allow that to happen, in fact she made it a point not to let it off trailer despite gravity trying its best to roll it off. We were definitely laughing and Kim was making all kinds faces doing her job!

However, life is good and it’s home in the shop.

Love it!
I think next year's Pig Party has to be a gathering of swine out at your barn Jon!
 
Which emblems are you talking about? The later fender emblem (one piece style) is still available and cheap FWIW. I don't think it uses push nut retainers though. Here's what McMaster Carr carries:

Staying with original.

I’d do that, Kim would welcome that. Plenty of pasture to camp at. Fire up smoker and cook some swine. Float in swimming pond with a beverage!
 
Well, that will be okay.

I say a bunch of us convoy and stay at the hotel in Raton.

We can all call and request the Matador Suite!

Think you are on to something TJ. Looks like the couple who own it welcome small groups who want to Rent out the hotel or a good part of it. Every room has nostalgic theme. Next time we are in the vicinity Kim and I will be stopping there.
