bulldog man Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 My youngest boy can sleep in the B with a straight pipe and bobble his head like a dog in the back window of your grandmas car I Could Too . When I was A Toddler My Dad (before he passed) & Pop (my grandfather that raised me after dad passed) would put me in the cab of Old Dog when they moving equipment from job to the next or Taking Soybean or Wheat to the Elevator in North Memphis they would put me in the passenger seat . (no car seat )im told id be sitting up 1 minute looking around & talking & the next I was fast asleep on the bench style passenger seat & snoozing away in a 64 ' B Model Mack w/ a straight pipe 711 growling & barking & no a/c . It never amazed our drivers even after I was grown that I could catch a ride in 1 of our Bulldog's going from the Dirt pit to the job site to operate a push cat & id put my head in the corner of the cab & fall asleep in a straight piped 237, 300 or 350 Mack & the windows rolled down & be sawing logs .I Can still do that to this day . Nothing like the sound of a Mack drivetrain to put me to sleep in the passenger seat ... Quote You Cant Fix Stupid. But You Can Numb It With A Sledgehammer.

farmer52 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I once slept on the floor of a Ford L9000 w/a 318 Detroit (ex-Roadway). I was in a fetal position with my head against the passenger side firewall and my feet getting knocked around by the shift lever. Good thing the passenger seat was portable (milk crate, I think) or it might have been uncomfortable.That explains some things!

Eastcoastdiesel Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 That sounds fun, but I think it's just my awe of snow since South Carolina gets next to none. Other dog, I just bought a husky 50cc backpack blower. Great, but 5 acres of leaves that have been there since I bought the property last year bites took me like 3 hours just to get my back yard haha... Then again never really used one before this.

hatcity Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Excuse me farmer, But plows are plenty available here.Any decent excavating company will have several. Granted, the roads might be that good after running D-8H's on them. But they sure push some snowForgot to mention, them there Northerners come down here with them big 'ol 4X4 with plow set ups Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoastdiesel Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 The rake method is what I was doing in the pasture horse turds and leaves would just get stuck to it. I would get so upset. Hence the 300 dollar fun toy I bought. I am no master lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Up half the damn night because the damn escorts wouldn't call back and then couldn't cross the Gothels till 0500 this morning. So it was a rough night and even rougher day. Going to bed soon. I was not amused sitting on the side of the road from 2300 till 0500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
