lucerne tractor Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 spring is here, hope for alot of road work this summer, the last batch of money went a long way to repair around this country. I know,I was permited around it all, but it's worth it. Road work keeps me moving equipment so it trickles down. Good luck out there, be safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 That's good news, be careful and best of luck to you. The truck looks great, it doesn't get any better than black spokes.I remember Gallo being a fairly common name on the Island. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
