Well men, history was made not once but twice in 24 hours.

First I used Ginger for real HD off road low range work - pulled a tractor with a loader. Very similar style to an old Ford 8000...



Similar being both blue, Fords and having a loader...



For those uninformed, a come-a-long is a manual device used to move things -- it is designed to take 137 clicks to move the cable a 1/4". The come-a-long pulls 3 feet at a time, the trailer is 12 feet long, 19728 +/- clicks if you do the math.

 

3 days straight
Back in my designer days I was part of a “Get ‘er Done!” crew. A select few of us that could get large drawing package finish over night. About once every other month a massive about of changes would come in from an architect a few days before a CD package was due. We would work from 8am Thursday till Noon Friday. Let me tell you, our brains where shot! We would then leave work and hit up a Chinese buffet then go home and sleep till Saturday. Lol

 

The loader tractor had sat in the hedgerow for around 15 years: tires flat, steering frozen - straight ahead fortunately.

It is fairly heavy, 797 pounds for the tractor + wheel weights, the loader and a rear weight box. Probably 1400 pounds total.

After dragging it out into the yard I used the afore mentioned come-a-long to get it on the trailer - that was a s-o-b...

Removal was quite easy, chain it to the F-250 and drive away.

 

53° at 7, 70 at noon.
TY

 

So you don't want to roll or steer eh...
Guess you don't know just who you are dealing with here.

 

This one rolls and steers but has no engine.

Did a bit of pressure washing.

 

They look less bad with the moss and related blown off.



Sent this little International Scout off to a new home today. Sad to see it go in a way, it has been in the archives about 15 years.
