    The Adventures of a Boom Truck Driver

    This was from earlier this summer, but I shows me pickin' some steel panel at an old farmstead that is getting a complete facelift including all the out buildings & farm house.

    The Adventures of a Boom Truck Driver

    Another ho-hum day on this Friday. Been busy @ my desk trying to catch up on some houses I've been drawing up. Had 2 easy booms today. These guys have been having me deliver their OSB like this for a few years now. Putting new sheeting over existing old/original roof sheeting.

    The Adventures of a Boom Truck Driver

    Monday 9/12/16 Not do much happening.......ground drop a LOAD of shingles for a church here in town. Yes I know, I was really heavy, but it was only 2 blocks away. This was my load that I didn't get till 3pm. So by the time I pulled it & loaded, it was 4. Got to the job site @ 4:30...

    yes sir! I drive the truck for a lumberyard here in IL. (right on the Mississippi River...literally just on the other side of the dike). If I'm not driving, I'm drawing houses for our contractors/customers.

    Whats a good price for my 41 Ford 9N?

    I would agree with your last sentence. Around here, there were/are next to none. Everyone here was all about row crops, so early Farmalls or D***re seemed to fit the bill. Throw in AC's and that is all there was back in the hay day of Mr. Ford's N series. The only disagreement I have with...

    Whats a good price for my 41 Ford 9N?

    I guess I should have used "discussion" instead or argument Rick. The logic makes sense & that is one argument for the Fast Hitch (as you have mentioned before on RP). Hard to get some farmers to buy whole new line up of equip. to fit the NEW tractor they just bought.

    Doing My Part To Help Rehab History

    Thanks TD! I have never heard the term "nail bender". I have always said "wood butcher". Trust me, some of the guys I have delivered to over the years are exactly that. While other guys are great at framing, but suck at finish work or vice versa. In the area I am delivering, I would say...

    Whats a good price for my 41 Ford 9N?

    Oh boy, now it's a Ford N series argument now that Rick showed up! Maybe I'm regretting directing him to this topic the other day. On the topic of depression, Rick nailed it about the pinching pennies and not spending anymore than necessary. I regards to your engine applications, my 95...
