Hello, my name is frictionman and I am addicted to old trucks and machinery.

[frictionman]

Just saying hi. My daily driver is a 1978 DMM686 that began life as a readymix truck and now I use it for my winch tractor. I pull a home made 1962 2 axle lowboy hauling a variety of equipment from a 1942 Northwest crane, 1954 D6 cat, Bantum excavator from the 50's, etc. Newest piece I have is a 580K that is the same age as the Mack. My other daily truck is a home made cross between an IHC and a 5 ton military 6x6 cut down to 4x4. I don't do anything for hire. I just like to take care of my own business and I can do a lot real cheap with this old machinery. I would like to switch the 237 for a v-8. I've been told it can't be done. I don't listen to stuff like that. I think it would be awesome.

What kind of business do you use this equipment for? Logging?

The "business" I refer to is managing the maintenance needs on 700 plus acres of cattle ranch and forest in the mountains. I also do landscaping with boulders which are abundant here. Only for my immediate family. "honey do" projects. We do have our own saw mill and build our own houses and buildings. The photo above is the site for my shop and the one where the IHC is pulling the dump trailer is my house site. Strictly DIY.
