  1. I forgot about F & C in St. Louis, I also have had good luck with them. I have bought four or five trucks from them and they were straight up to deal with.
  2. This weekend I was at a farm sale and I bought a small well pressure tank that looks to be the size of a cheetah bead seater. I have some three inch brass ball valves and some threaded black pipe and I am going to make one. Did you just flatten the end of the pipe and use it that way or did you need to weld on that little ridge down on the end of the pipe that some bead seaters have?
  3. That was the first thing we learned in advertising class - do not for any reason make it easy for a buyer to contact you!
  4. Today is your lucky day if you are looking for a fleetstar. I'll get you a photo and she is a peach! (or rather she was a real peach when she was new in 1970)
  5. It is good to see the "modulators" doing their "modulating" - Thanks!

    Two Cows:

    I am going to print this and post it at the sale barn tomorrow - that is milk through your nose funny -
  7. himoshima,,66 years after Abomb,,,second snapshot detroit,66 years after Abomb,wow.incredible.bob Wow - looks like we got the short end of the stick
  8. Check out the other items the guy has listed on ebay, he also has a pretty straight old Ford pickup and a old Dodge pickup and a set of three Nova's in a package deal. He is about 4 hours from me, I put a bid on the Mack to keep it from being scrapped, I have no idea what his reserve is.
  9. Grafted is the kindest word I can think of to describe that. Can you tell if the rears are 5 spoke or 6? David in Mo.
  10. Or when he gets squished does it just automatically deflate out all the hot air? Awfull hard for science to do an autopsy on a empty balloon.
  11. olivetroad was relaxing in the hot tub The older I get the more deer I shoot off my front porch. Last year I shot a little low and put a hole in the metal gate on the side of the yard. Looks kinda cool. I don't own a hot tub, but my kids all think the big stock tank was really designed to do double duty as a swimmin' pool
  12. or: Dirt also stops up the air cleaner in my truck - I left out with and added in so it would be different but also the same
  13. Also watch out for those Amish - at least the G-men should be able to outrun their buggies
  14. You are a potential terrorist if you eat asparagus and your pee stinks, or if you fart in the bed and hold your wife's head under it - falls under the "strange odors" catagory
  15. I hope he did something else first BEFORE he went to the camp
  16. I would like to have it, aren't those heavy rear ends with the center sticking out? - but I bet it would cost as much as the purchase price to get it to mid-missouri
  17. So if you own a Mack, you figure your age in bulldog years?
  18. If it is too hard to lift your leg over the center brace in front of the seat, I am told they also sell ones that don't have that brace. That way your skirt can lay down nicely while you are riding.
  19. Here is the way my neighbor's looked in Oliver green
  20. Does this look right? I found this photo on the internet. We had a neighbor that had the identical Oliver version, I think the only difference was it was painted green and the drawbar looked different. He owned a drywall business in St. Louis about two hours away and only visited his farm next to us a couple times a year. He would haul that thing down and not get off it until he had brush mowed all 200 acres. I don't think he even stopped to pee. It would wake me up in the middle of the night when he was running it - that thing was LOUD!
  21. Is that hair or just a shadow down there
  22. Impotance has no place there Impotance has no place there - next time leave out the cheesy dude, unless you like dudes or sumpin'
  23. I make sure that every year my three sons all remember how to skin a buck and run a jug line in the river just in case the world goes to pieces (plus it is funner than hell) My blushing bride thinks I am crazy (I am), but every year I also make sure I have a big ol' bag of garden seeds in the freezer for the next year in case you can't buy 'em.
  24. Thats funny - we had a friend that went to Boston for a week and he told a bunch of folks there that he just could not wait to get home because they were installing electric lights in his house. They believed it and he never told them he was kidding. MIssouri and Kentucky are just fly over country to a lot of folks anyway. I had a great aunt and uncle that never installed a bathroom in their house. They did have water at the kitchen sink, but when they died in the 70's they still believed there was nothing nastier than doing your business inside the house - when you think about it, they had a point. They also still used a wood cookstove. We used to go visit and stop by the store and take store bought bread with us. We would trade it loaf for loaf for her homemade bread out of that wood cookstove - I KNOW we got the better end of the deal!
  25. Another crook we all know came out of the same training ground - they must drink the green water up there on St. Patrick's day?
