Title: Last ride
Post by: Carl on December 20, 2008, 04:01:32 PM: Sold the tractor this past summer with an eye on moving out of here but this was my last "hook" with it in August of 2007.

I would have to look up the Serial Number to be certain but if I remember correctly it was built in 1973.

Power distribution to the hydrolic system might be a tad tricky to work out but doable.

Fuel consumption would bankrupt a person. :p

If you like NY rules and regulations, North Carolina isn't bad. Lots of small towns if you stay out of Charlotte (Raleigh isn't very big). And you're only an hour and a half from the Outer Banks.

I was never truly impressed with the Outer Banks. I did kind of like the Asheville to RDU area
