Post by: J.A.F.E. on October 17, 2019, 09:15:05 PM: I guess you get a drum roll when you drive that.
Title: Re: Farrrrk now i want that roller
Post by: jabberwoki on October 17, 2019, 09:50:17 PM: I know you`d be crushed if I don`t get it.
Title: Re: Farrrrk now i want that roller
Post by: J.A.F.E. on October 17, 2019, 10:17:14 PM: Actually I think it would be really cool if you did. Not many neighbors would have one and you could stuff in a blown nitro burning big block. Start a new sport roller pulling.

You'd flatten the competition.

Another one for the collection
Title: Re: Farrrrk now i want that roller
Post by: oldnslo on October 20, 2019, 08:10:38 AM: I'm guessing the owner is of ill health, or worse. Those collections usually stay intact until the end (or you are forced to sell).

Nice pickings!

Post by: jabberwoki on March 04, 2020, 08:33:17 PM: I visited this guy today to see if he had any baby Detroit's. Muddy would have loved it Scout trucks, Dodge trucks and a cubic shit ton of tractors.
He has 3 x 2-53s, trouble they're connected to John Deere drots.
4500 for a nice restored John Deere track loader with 2-53 powering it..

Post by: slip knot on March 05, 2020, 05:15:05 PM: Did the track loader have a PTO???? you could run the chomper off a PTO shaft too. :) be like having a self propelled 2-53 DD. :93:
Title: Re: Farrrrk now i want that roller
Post by: jabberwoki on March 05, 2020, 05:48:27 PM: No , no pto . If I was in WY I`d seriously think about that ol beasty it `s quite cool.
