bulldog man Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I love mud goin, we have a little international dt466 and i love spinning the tires on that tiny semi..... What's not to love about getting stuckA woman after my own heart : 1 who likes to play in the mud . breaking stuff getting out, oh and then having to clean it back up when your done, I got a problem with driving dirty trucks, I break out in a rash. Breaking stuff I can understand that 1 that gets into $$ . getting out wasn't too bad when I was mudding cause where I was mudding @ there was a 750B Wide track John Deere Dozer w/ a carco winch near by that belonged to family friend or my pops D6D wide track Cat w/ Hyster winch . I Miss that ole 84' K3500 GMC W/ 454 & 4SPD W/ granny gear , 205 transfer case 4:56 GEARS , cherry bombs, & buckshot mudders. & 12,000lb warn winch . it was my service truck it was gear bound about 58 to 60 mph but would pull everything you put on it or behind it including the gas station . I Didn't mud in it much on purpose it was my service truck & I would save the 4wd most of time for the farm fields or job sites when we had a piece of equipment down & I didn't have any other choice but to walk that Jimmy out to the equipment . I miss it for the pulling power but not the MPG . but id get calls on the weekend from my brother & friends to pull others out & I made a lot of money on the weekends just pulling folks out in the local bottoms as I had boomer chains on the truck @ all times along w/ the winch & scotch blocks . & make that ole 454 w/ cherry bombs scream Cleaning up never bothered me as I was always on Hot washer pressure duty cleaning our trucks & equipment & had the rain suit for it . & never had Alcoa wheels so what I had to polish back up wasn't much @ all All this talk about muddin is making me want another 4wd .

farmer52 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Where was my handsome man to rescue me when I got stuck?!!!Oh well, I got out after 10 minutes or so hehe.I cringe at how much metal is in the rear axle fluid after being stuck. The copper sky rockets after just one spinout. You better take a fluid sample from the rear axles. You will be surprised at the analysis. I will be too if the analysis comes back "normal".

Eastcoastdiesel Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 We live in the jedburg clay...... When I first moved out here I sunk my 750 flatbed to the axles trying to put my feed shed out there.... Took me my friend and my neighbor like 4 hours to get it out with a tree a chain and lots of bed movement.. Not to mention, it rained the whole time making it slicker.
