ebinmaine 63,848 #1 Posted February 3, 2018 Been trying to figure a way to get an 8 speed transmission from Mass to Maine for about 4 or 5 months... it happened today. Thanks to @JimmyJam and his wife! Looking forward to seeing you in the spring. VERY nice folks! We picked up a roller chassis and some other stuff and got more than I even knew he was bringing up. Some new parts for my C160 build as well. 14 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, Van Bennett @Wheel-N-It would load a whole and some parts in the back of a minivan and still have room for camping gear. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,139 #5 Posted February 4, 2018 Once I stuck a wood stove in the back of the Volvo wagon for a 250 mile ride. Wife was not happy . Since then it has hauled per trip (1) 10 in plow and cultivator (2) 42 in RD deck { where is that guy}, (3) Chassis with tower and front wheels (4 ) grader blade (5) four tires. Wife gave up giving me the stare. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got some of the parts, most of the way, on to the blanket. I also ended up with 0% of the dog on that blanket. I guess I'll be testing out my vacuum cleaner fairly soon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC 1965 1,528 #12 Posted February 6, 2018 When you need parts, you got to get them home some way. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyJam 516 #13 Posted February 7, 2018 @ebinmaine Well it certainly was a grand pleasure meeting you, your wife, and your ever so sweet puppy. We will definitely be back up in the spring to visit your ranch and see updates of your C-160 project. I am glad I was able to provide you with the necessary solid parts that you need. ...and I was able to clean out the shed and make my girl happy that I am consolidating to just usable WH 's (hehe, she has never been out there!) and I was doing someone a great service! So true!!!! Great day all around! Thanks Eric. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
