Tow Dolly

When I picked up the chassis and cab in Modesto, the guy had a friend standing there that just happened to have sold a motor home last week and wanted to sell his tow dolly ---

long story short, I bought it and used it to bring home my chassis. It has brakes, but they need a master cylinder. Other than that the unit worked great - Felt good on the highway, even chanced going on 99. Mostly ran 55, but had to watch as the unit wanted to run faster - hit 65 a time or two.

Anyway, it is available to any member who needs to tow something - you just need a hitch with a 2 inch ball. If you got something interesting going on, I might even bring it to you.

I was within a few miles of your house - sure would have made Liz happy had I dropped my stuff in your back yard - she is not talking to me today!

I will never understand why some people like to see a wagon wheel or an old seeder or some other rusty steel farm appartus in the front flowerbeds and yet object to a good looking cab parked along side the house!

Lol!! Don't I know the feeling, you've seen my piles out back. Everything from Peterbuilt cabs to...name it.


You may have made Liz happy, but Aleshia would have become my worst enemy

At least it was worth a shot. I think I can borrow a trailer from a co worker's brother. It's to tow a car (90-something Tracer)home that someone is giving me for working on their car. Then, I'll be getting first hand experience rebuilding a transaxle.
