umodelnut Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Well, my day started out with Papa and I firing up the old Ford, and me driving it out back and parking it. Then we had to tow the old blue Dodge with the backhoe because she needs a starter silinoid. So I steered it while Papa towed me backwords. Then we fired up the ole U685, and let her warm up a bit. Then Papa told me to drive it around a bit because it loads up. So I took her around and around a couple times, then Papa put her in the barn. We also tightened the top of the air cleaner down, and put the passenger mirror bracket on. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28286-todays-u-model-things-and-other-happenings/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I see it was nice sunny day.What is the place the barn is with the forest surround?Is it aside a little village or in some distance from a city?

Green Dash Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Oh sure. No close up of the mirror bracket, but we get a nice shot of the forward tilted fifth wheel. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28286-todays-u-model-things-and-other-happenings/#findComment-145586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 The barn is surrounded by woods. The house is about 200 yards from the barn, to the right of the picture of the tire tracks. A couple miles from a big village.

yarnall Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I was thinking the same thing. You wouldn't want to upset the Village People. Vlad, If you don't Know, they were a really bad band. They make for some great Halloween costumes though.Mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28286-todays-u-model-things-and-other-happenings/#findComment-145838 Share on other sites More sharing options...
