Big shop doors and roof trusses are way out there in delivery times! I think everybody lost a shop door or two. Lotta states got damages.

My folks place didn’t fare as well, a utility trailer got relocated into the box side of dads pickup, a sliding barn door was relocated into one of his machine sheds, the doors blew off both ends of their other machine shed & had 4 grain bin lids removed. A mile from their place another shed they use was relocated across the road into the neighbors yard & onto his pickup & trailer.

Sorry to hear this.
I hope insurance will help you all get everything put back together.

My friend, who runs a tree service, called and asked if he could borrow my 3120 w/ 50" bar. I said sure. He brought it back a couple days later with a quart of trufuel 40:1, brand new Stihl chain, and a check for $200. Only needed it to do 1 stump; his 880 is in the shop. I would have loaned it to him for free but I ain't complaining either.

@huskihl, he said it cut like a dream, by the way; no doubt considering his 880 is non-ported...

Iffin it’s like the ones I bake, you are going to need a table knife to scrape off the black bottom.

Soak ‘em in your coffee to soften them up?

Not these, nice golden brown bottoms, still just a bit soft in the middle. All the kids & grandkids like chewy cookies.

I like a more done cookie they soak up more milk while dunking them.

Had to just to cut a big tree.. the 660 couldn’t do it.

I do like the way black coffee enhances the flavor of Chips Ahoy. [emoji106]

Went and looked at a 78 international transtar 2 4070b. Has a 290 Cummins and 9spd. Been setting a min but appears pretty solid. Will need a lot of cleaning and love but I can get it for a good deal on a trade. Anyone have any thoughts on these old cab overs?

That 290 & 9speed will be durable, cab over gives you a very short turn radius & nice in tight confines. I was just never a fan of climbing in/out of them. It’s a different experience piloting one down the road the first time.

That’s what I keep hearing as well. I was wanting a big cam 400 and a 13spd but haven’t found the right deal on that. Heaviest thing I’ll haul would be 50k. This should haul it ok.

Wouldn’t take much to turn it up if you need a little more hp
