Cool Video 49 towing a 51 COE
Just saw this and had to share. some of you may remember seeing some pictures I had posted of this tow truck alongside the 53 MH from the prior owner.

Cool to see it in action.

Yeah, I was really enjoying that effect. I was trying to guess at what speed they started spinning "forward" instead of "backward".

That is too cool! Thanks!
That thing sounds awesome with the straight pipes.....
Also that old cattle trailer (at the beginning) is really cool too.
