First haul with my new trailer.

[Retired Wrencher 5,651]

I pick this up today. Needs some help but I have the parts. I have had many of this model 4 speed and 8. I have always enjoyed these eight speeds for sure grunt of power and pulling..This is my winter tractor for plowing. Needs some love. It has an over the big pond carb on it now. Runs ok but I have something for that. Hope you enjoy the picks.

It is a bit light Mike. The van did a good job. There where some hills I had to go up the van did a good job. I will see how it does in a few weeks going to Zagray`s.

I love those small vans like the Fords, Rams, Nissans, etc.  I wanted one when they first came out, but alas, never bought one.  Now the only ones left new are Ram and Mercedes, I believe.

Eric  An older gentlemen had this one with 15 others. It needs some love but I have all summer to fix them. The plan is to have this one as a plow winter tractor.

T-Mo from what I understand this is a connect which is going a way. I believe they will make the same but with more options, and of corse more $$$ for them. I have had for few years now. Now frills van but  handy to have.
