I seriously question your choice of project vehicles but at least you have good taste in beer. Coors is the only one I drink. 🥳

I remember when you could get deuce and a half’s from the auction, running and driving, for under $1k

Badass!!

M817…..awesome! Had one for about 8 years….amazing machine! Looks like your’re on 16R20’s ? Hauled about 60 loads of gravel (10 tons)…..never a problem. I did switch the brakes over to Dot 5….added a visible reservoir to make sure brake fluid was topped off. Great post!

The Brake upgrade sounds like a good idea. Will look into it. Thanks

Bob it and make it a 4 wheeler

Love the wife comment and acknowledgement, I've found myself there on occasion. LOL

I told her "Honey...I bought something. You are going to hate it, but all my friends are going to love it."

You feel like a different man driving vehicles like this. A general contractor friend had something similar, M125, they used it for land clearing. Theirs could pull large trees, roots and all right out of the ground and it would run on anything you put in the tank. Diesel, gas, used fry oil. I'd call it the Beast.

I am looking for a tree that needs to be pulled.
