I worked at a scrap yard for a while. I saw wild stuff pretty much daily the whole time I was there.

Short 2 mile move. Needed tractor in off-site field. Drove slow and easy. Tractor in low gear, 4wd, park brake on.

Truck/trailer to move hay to farm. Had another tractor to unload.

Pics 2 and 3 were how I strapped for 70 mile haul.

Deceased fathers car has been towed

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone so today my deceased father’s car was towed but the car is not yet in my name. Has anyone experienced this before? If so what happened? I’ve leafy reached out to my lawyer but I’d like to know if anyone was able to get their deceased relative’s/partner’s car with just a will and a copy of the death certificate. Any answers are helpful and much appreciated…I don’t wanna have to give up my dad’s car it one of the few things I have left of him

A furniture dolly with 2” casters seems like a bad idea, especially on rutted upper Midwest roads.

And BTW, he’s not on a quiet side street. It’s one of the busiest streets in the area.

Secured load, safety chains, within weight limit, but did they slap it and say that ain’t goin anywhere?

I’d estimate these at 12’x10’x6’wide concrete. There were at least four on this truck strapped like this. Seemed pretty weak

I was stuck for 3 hours during the morning rush blocking both lanes of traffic. I spent $550 for a 50’ tow, to make a delivery that (not including the late fee) payed only $500.

In my defense, the cafe I was parked at advertised free truck parking. The tow truck operator said this has been happening regularly since the cafe owners took down the “trucks use next driveway” sign.

Can I use a driver to raise and lower the Curt 28356 trailer jack?

This jack is mounted to the frame of my Toro zero turn mower and used to raise it for blade changes and deck cleaning and maintenance. Raising and lowering involves a lot of cranking on this old guys shoulders, would it be a big no-no to remove the side wind handle and use a driver to raise and lower it? I realize you wouldn't want to torque it hard at the top or bottom but other than that is there a reason not to if you're careful not to over-torque it?
