I think you could turn that around without leaving the parking space

Ah Rich, l think that might be a grandchild of ours!  lol  lf l turn as hard as possible the MB's inside drive tires make an eleven or twelve foot circle. Great for U-turns on two lane roads.    .....Hippy

That brings back memories of learning to drive truck and getting the threat of being punched in the arm if I missed a shift. The theory being if you remember why your arm hurts you won't f#@k up another shift. Ahh the good old days. No wonder the new generation drives automatics 😁

Alex was the guy's name Eddie that taught you to drive? l got the same thing except it was for using the clutch to shift. lt was a '68(?) 4070 with a 290, 10 speed, single axle Ryder rental. Bemis Bag Pepperell Ma. to Long Island NY. loaded with potato bags. Sure would like to see him again.    .....Hippy

Any idea what that attachment on the back of that tractor is?

HG, You looking all the way across the yard at the roller? l think that might be a scarifier of some kind.    .....Hippy

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on BMT. The featherless fowl is in the pellet grill smoker and should be ready to be carved at noon.     .....Hippy

Really looking forward to this one Jim. Anytime we went to tour the collection l always made sure to sign the guest/visitor book. Always interesting to read where people were from and they were from all over!     .....Hippy

Good thing he lost the mudflap.   https://cdllife.com/2019/chp-pulled-a-driver-in-for-a-mudflap-violation-but-found-something-way-worse/     .....Hippy

HnL,  lf you find it's the 5th wheel just replace it like Maddog said. The company l drive for deals with three different repair shops. lf there is a problem with a 5th wheel none of them will repair it. They just replace it due to liability and cost, so l was told.   .....Hippy

OH my! Our long lost grandson!    .....Hippy
