  1. one of the companies i used to work for had 4 of these 3 had cummins engines and 1 had 2 detroits 6v92s i think. one turned normal and the other turned backwards they were mounted flywheel to flywheel with a gearbox inbetween them. if you had a big enough sack of marbels they would go anywhere if it was dry. but if it was wet you couldnt pay for a ride like you would take in them on a small hill. the biggest prob we had out of them were the front springs if you hit a bump or a hole too fast it would break the springs.

  2. Other Dog, now thas the kind of Kodiakatronomy I expect from you! All you others on here sit up and take a look at the "Master at Work". He went to a lot of trouble to get those pics of the elusive and rarely seen Int35282##al paystarhauler! He is my mentor! randyp

  4. Well great Tom! My wife has recently politely re-arranged MY, yes, MY office,,,not hers,,,MINE,,dont know why she did that, but cant find my spec sheet that came with trailer. I will keep looking. In meantime, you may go to Kaufman website, its prolly on there. I had written the salesmans number on spec sheet also, will find it for you. It is a 25 ton, I bleeve 26 feet of flat deck then dovetail,,,the 60's wrecked my memory though. randyp

  5. heh heh, no, luckily we didnt get any of that! Texas has been having some really strange weather here lately. I gotta go check that out. I did watch that news film the other day where the 40 ft. reefer trailers were flying bout 3 or 4 hundred feet in the air in the tornado in Dallas. They were getting whirled around like paper sacks! Its just hot and dry already in Northeast Texas where im is. I spect we gonna see another drought again,,,oh well,,,good for pond digging anyway,,,,randyp

  6. Well, dip me in doodoo Billy, went back and read his post and you are right. Oh well, I dint pay much tention in school, and I been outta there a looooooong time. Matter factly, principal burnt school down just to get rid of me. He testified it would be worth "dropping soap" in prison shower to not have to deal with me anymore. randyp

  7. I may in future sell it, been thinking bout it, and getting a pintle hitch trailer to pull with dump truck, but still undecided, prolly wont, really would like to keep it and add pintle trailer also for backup in case killer gets to ailing or sumpin,,,randyp

  8. I got a new Kaufman, 25 ton, bleeve it was bout 12,500 or 13,000 dollars. It has done a really good job, have used the crap outta it a coupla years now. I ordered it and they shipped here to texas from nebraska. Its got really good heavy D- rings and a good storage for chains and ratchet binders in front neck. It is an open neck design, I requested that kind and they built it for me. It has spring loaded ramps and is very easy to load up excavator or dozer or grader. I really like it..Lemme see can i find a pic on here of it,,,If you are interested, I have a salesmans number up there, really nice helpful guy,,,,randyp

  9. This is amazing, but true. I am astonished at this picture, shows what could possibly be an alee-un invasion...or not.

    I sent the original UFO picture to noted UFO expert randyp in Texas, where he used the advanced technology available to him to enhance the photo greatly with his technological stuff that he has available to him. It shows what could quite possibly be two alien beings, one armed with a discombobulator, who appears to be trying to sneak up on the other alien, who appears to be clueless as to what's going on.

    Here's the greatly enhanced photo, you'll have to use your own judgement.

    Thas them all right! Cant magine what they would do to poor young Vinny when they got him between them! Treachorus rascals! randyp
  10. Thanks for all the great ideas' gentlemen. As I will have 5 guys with me not sure what they will have on there minds too. The cousin thing doesn't sound bad since we are separated by about a dozen states that would make us "distant" cousins and Mike probably wouldn't want a house full of northern boyz drinking his shine. The Nashville info looks great and the other guys like country music and I like the man in black too but my ears tend to bleed if prolonged ex-posher to it. I'll take plenty of pictures but the cousin thing you'll have to use your imagination ;)

    Apparently,,,you are not aware of my "vivid" imagination, so better pass on that one. have a good safe time,,,randyp
