My inner self is screamin' at me to work on an old combine, but I figured I better finish this job up and get it out of the way first.

With as little of rain that you get, why do you need to tarp the trucks.. Is it if your prayers for rain were ever answered that you would be covered?

The tarp also keeps Allan from planting wheat all up-and-down the road between the field and the elevator. ;-)

Allan, it looks great. I have a 79 Jimmy long wheel base that could use some spiffing up when you get time. It has a 24 foot cattle box on it. Use to have a 28 foot box for moving stuff, but we cut off 4 feet of frame to fit the cattle box. Is a great truck, but haven't used it much since we got a gooseneck trailer. I may start again though as you don't have to wait to get unloaded at the stock yards. Always a big line of trailers, but very few straight trucks anymore.

Oh, for sure. Don't believe in having any piece of equipment that doesn't earn it's keep.

Gotta start at one end and finish at the other. She'll combine again'. In spades. :>)

Allan;You sure do nice work, looks like it just came off the show room floor, maybe some of those guys that were bashing older trucks should look at yours, might give them a different outlook on things. I figure an older truck as one i can understand and fix myself and save them $$$$$. Ken

No,

The old truck had some "box" issues.

Searched and searched, but just couldn't find another box. Last straw was when I was haulin' wheat and got fed up with wrestlin' the darned throw-tarp.

Started in on the old sow and it took me about a month to rebuild the box, paint and hang that custom built tarp.

Looks very nice Allan.

However,are you unaware that these trucks are out of date,unsafe,most parts are no longer available,and that absolutely no one wants to work on them! (grin)

I've heard the rumor and also walked the walk. One man's kittens is another man's cats I guess. :>)

Hey! If I find a serial number, can you get me a for sure year of manufacture on this Gleaner? Memory tells me it is a '79, but I can't trust that line of info neither. :>)

Looks good.
Is the crank attached or do you store somewhere on the truck?
Mine is attached and just hangs angled accross the back.

Yeah,

The pipe rolls down over a lip on that left side. Then ya take the handle and continue turning the pipe rolling the tarp up under the lip, which tightens it.

Crank 'er on around to put a tension on it and hook across the back.

Nice job! The worst thing about that job is sooner or later you have to use it. And that first scratch isn't going to be taken lightly if your like me,
