Friday's purchase. I've outgrown my 7x12 landscape trailer so I bought a 7x18 7K car hauler. 2024 AMO for less than $3900 on the road from Best Choice in Carlisle. It weighs around 1600 lbs & when mother nature turns the furnace down I'll load my 955 on it & see how well it pulls.

How are they to deal with? I was eyeing up one of these. I have 12k trailer but it’s not car friendly.

they were busy as hell when I got there around 2pm. I'd never been there before but they are a great place to deal with. I talked to Parker, younger guy but real down to earth & a great help. Check out their website & write down the Stock # of the trailer(s) you're interested in to help them help you & make the process quicker. they have a lot of different trailers & brands in stock.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. Just get there earlier than I did, downtown Carlisle traffic sucks lol.

I add some water and soda carbonate each year as it evaporates
This tank is going on 3 years

Here is a cast iron pan I found at the dump.
I took a shot of it after an overnight dip

We did the tank install at Yellow Freight. That stretch of road sucks especially when there’s a car show. If you leave Best Choice and make a right you can run Lambs Gap to Wertzville Rd to 81. I’m too cheap to run the turnpike with a trailer.

I avoid the turnpike completely unless I absolutely have to use it.

I have to work in conshohocken starting Thursday. 422 is probably worse than the turnpike with 422 road work. I ran to turnpike to West Chester and Media for years and don’t miss it.

I dug this out of a house that was being demolished along with a few others. The owner wouldn’t go in because they thought there were roaches.

When you say turnpike is that a toll road? If so how expensive is it?

 

[Partner]

Really good line, although not cheap, about $20

I’m close to the highlighted interchange. It’s $7.16 to go to Carlisle which is about 40 miles on the turnpike in a car. It’s the most expensive toll road in the world. Fifteen or twenty years ago when tolls were cheaper and there was less traffic it paid to use it. For me to go to West Chester it’s $6.49 each way for a 100 mile trip. I used to pay less than $2 each way. I hate it but I run it in my company truck. Going west isn’t bad but east is a disaster after the first twenty miles. If you don’t have ez pass it’s significantly more.

Damn toll roads

 

[dangerousatom]

Yes the PA Turnpike is ridiculous. I got an EZ-pass like 5 years ago for work emergency's and luckily have never used it. I wouldn't be surprised if my work pays out over $50,000 a year in tolls with amount of trucks we run.

I bought 150 new and used milling cutters for £48 / $66. Many of them are still in the original storage wax. I won't be able to use the largest ones and will sell them on. They are all good makes - Clarkson, Osborn, SKF, Dormer, etc.

I ordered an Echo SRM2620u brushcutter from my local hardware store. Could have gotten it cheaper from Home Depot, but these folks are my neighbors. I can literally walk through my back woods to their warehouse lot. I want these people to be in business for the rest of my life.

Picked this up at Auction this weekend. Anyone got a Rotary Phase Converter they want to sell cheap?

First glance I thought that was the top of a piston.

A buddy offered to give me a 10hp motor, so I guess I’ll piece it together with a North American control box. The controller is surprisingly simple, but the pre-fab ones look much better than what I would build.

Glad I’m getting reimbursed for this
