Good use? China building it's infrastructure to reduce us to a colonial state that exports raw goods and imports all our manufactured goods from them, not to mention building the world's largest air fleet, tank armada and navy for when they foreclose on our unpayable national debt. Sorry to be gloom and doom but we are right back where we were in the 1930's in more ways than one. But when someone tells you it is better to cut up working machinery, haul it halfway around the world, turn it into new parts, probably a carcinogen spewing diesel that is tempermental in cold weather, and ship it back here and sell it at ten time what the truck it replaced cost new, that is just stupid. I'm all for keeping equipment and crews safe, don't get me wrong, but junking stuff just because you want new stuff is stupid. And as taxes skyrocket and all levels of government have to cutback, new trucks and plows to replace serviceable equipment can only be justified by destroying the old, they don't want the truck tehy just said was worn out being bought by someone local and used the next ten years when it's replacement is being traded off on another new one. Many town barns are too small for the new trucks now and then ones coming out, due to engine configuration and fuel cells, will be even larger. My comment on diesel being a known carcinogen, being one of the most mutangenic non-radioactive substances known, should be understood in the context that natural gas and propane molecules are just smaller, so tehy can pass through filters diesel can't, and that just means they can penetrate further into your body. Only the mileage justifies diesel over gasoline, but I still prefer gasoline, the lead is out, Carol Browner's MTBE additive, that caused groundwatwer problems, is out. Global climate is controlled by the solar cycle and vulcanism, neither of which man has any influence over, carbon credits and cap and trade are just a rip off.

I been keeping tabs on the website but the coming winter has me stressed out. I have several restoration ready trucks outside and I want a roof over them. I don't have enough firewood to make it all the way through. My yard is not ready for plowing with to much stuff out of place. My shop has to many antiques in it so I am having a tough time operating. Storage is a big problem.
The handwheels are looking great. If I get some other restorations done maybe I can do up the truck they belong on.
I have a nice surprise for the website coming in a few days. No hints except it is coming from 3500 miles away and you don't find one everyday.

When I posted that adv I was debating going to the big Homecoming/clan gathering 2009 in Scotland, but didn't after all. I had thought about trying to buy some land/fixer upper house but with local taxes going through the roof decided against that unless things get real cheap. Right now I would only sell it for legal US gold or silver coinage, for less, maybe even 50% less. But then that would only cause problems, as the govt can seize anything you keep in safety deposit boxes anyways. So the tractor is a lot safer way to store wealth in plain sight.
