I hope you guys know I'm not serious

More and more of those guys are using something like that for towing. The wreckers have become so big anymore it doesn't make a lot of sense to use one for towing. Tht one in the picture will lug a disabled tractor hundreds of miles, and make short work out of it. Probably with well under 100K into it too. Now about those guys' Diamond T 😏

from stuff like this.....to tofu 🤯

I suddenly feel the need to go to Texas Roadhouse. Probably won't be as busy as usual what with Lent

Thank GOD !!!!

et tu Jojo ???

Way too much talk about tofu here. Next it;ll be bean curd or legumes.

That part of it was likely a tank of some sort at one time.

It looks like a power assist system on it. The pump is a Vickers. That just supplies the system with pressurized oil. The valve in the picture is the control valve, then I'm assuming it has a cylinder attached to the tie rod underneath it. What are you trying to repair on it ?

That pump is a Vickers. I would think parts for it are still available or a suitable replacement is. The control valve ? That might be a problem. Are you sure it's a Ross valve ? The cylinder ? would seem a good hydralic place could do something with that. Wouldn't surprise me if a different make control valve would interchange with your's. Reservoir, a newer Nelson wouldn't be a very dificult swap.

IDK maybe it's from a lifetime of truck'n makes it easy to see when you're get'n screwed faster than some. One thing , the media out and out lies. Gas is cheaper, that's a laugh. $4.13 a gallon for bulk onroad here in PA. How can the tens of thousands of people driving past a Flying J not notice ? No matter the subject.....WE all pay more while more and more get a free ride. Whether a politician or some one getting a handout (which still benefits a politician) It blows my mind in so many ways all the BS that goes on. Taxation without representation, how it all started......and we're there again.

Vlad is on to something. There's an old post from 41chevy from about ten years ago with a bogie upside down that looks quite similar.

Thing I don't understand is why people worry about paying for tariffs, but when billions goes missing in fraud there's not even half the concern.

This would be a good mystery for that guy that straightens the framesin Texas. Looks like it has an extra spring added .

How about when a young guy refers to you as an " old guy " and not doing being a wise ass. 🤔 Never saw it coming.
