Hay season's over, time for a winter re-do
 
I've kinda been in a building slump lately. I threw some big bucks into my 1:1 last month, and the motivation and funds for the small ones has been nil.

Until I saw Paul's new K100 single axle, and suddenly the motivation came back.:) So once again, the screaming yellow zonker is back on the bench, and ready for another facelift.

Thx Paul, but it's far from perfect. Just like celebrities, the camera can hide a lot of flaws;). It still needs fenders hammered out, and mounted, a couple more Wedico tires for the dolly. More paint and clearcoat. And then finally wiring up all the LEDs.:( But hey, it only took 3 years to get it to this point, so don't hold your breath.

Thx for the good words, they are appreciated.;)




Well seeing as how there's no hay to haul this time of year, i figure pallets are the next best thing. And I just happen to have a bunch of'em. Stacking all these little buggers reminded me of why i sometimes drink beyond moderation:rolleyes:

If you feel inclined to try and count them, let me save you the trouble. There's over 275 of them on there.:eek: Maybe i need to add winches and straps to the To-Do list too !

Great looking rig!
The Pete looks fantastic!

Looks like the 2nd trailer has a turntable, not a dolly?
Got any pics of this setup?

Thx Jim,

The pup does have a dolly and not a 'table under it. It looks odd as I still haven't got a jack to support the tongue on it yet.

Both trailers were built identical, and believe it or not, in a motel room !!:o

Rick hello it has been a while sense I have chatted with you, good to hear from you. As usual old yeller is still looking good. I still haven't got my Pete done I have been playing with my new 1/12 scale excavator trying to get it set up and working on my dump trailer. Well take care catch you later. Ed:)

Hi Rick. Great truck and trailer combo! Good to see some more photos of the screamin' yellow zonker. :D The pallet load is really cool, but you know a lot of guys haul hay just as much in the winter time, as they do any other time of the year. Depends who's cows are hungry. :D I'll tell you this. If there are flaws in that truck, I sure don't see them.

Yes. At one time I had all the flame deals on it. Decided it was time for a change tho. I do still have another complete set if I ever want them back on. I really like this clean smooth look it has now.
