I'd drive it for errands 'n such. The tailgate 'n sides fold down to make a flat bed. Just way too expensive for a toy.

More junk from China.....

I was lookin at ah Import thang with the Chinese for a Motorcycle front and a Truck rear end and motorized rickshaws. The truck part was just like the pitcher Arcey had. Any whoo, after investigation, they was junk. So... I'm still lookin fer that spetchel sumpin' that everbody wants and needs ta sell.

Yep! Primers are out too. Ya ever seen ah Chinese primer? At's whut I thought.

[Arcey]

What I meant by too expensive for a toy. Ya gottah figger it as disposable when it breaks.

Then again, that's the way I look at Ford, GM 'n Chrysler......

I tried to bring a Mitsubishi three wheel pick up back from japan in '74 and was told they weren't legal in the US of A.  Three years laer I was driving one around the McDonnell Douglas plant as a on-site utility vehicle.  Had some little four wheelers, too.  Looked a lot like this beastie.

They used to have some of them over at the General Dynamics plant in Fort Worth to run parts in from one bldg. to another.

[Ozark Tracker]

They have a manufacturing plant over the line in Oklahoma just over from Ft. Smith,

look like they'd be fun to have,, I know they were looking for people to open dealerships this last spring.

Del, thanks fer the pix, belive it or not, I'm old enough to remember these machines back in the Nebraska's farm land.

Gran Pa Orson had 2 sections he homesteded just north of Thedford, GranPa Wilson homesteded in Pierce right after the Civil war, took 3 yrs. to get a corn crop.
Just some history fer thought.

Del's got a bunch of those old farming pictures.

I remember Grandma having a washin machine like that one,  we'd push it out of the garage on wash day if it was warm enough,  Grandma would start a little fire burning on the ground with some paper and small limbs,  she'd stick 2  or 3  spark plugs in the fire to warm em up,  take her gloves when they was hot and put it in the motor and pull it to start,  if it didn't start easy, she'd change out to another plug, till one started.

I used to have a lawnmower that started really hard when it was cool. I never considered that warming just the spark plug would help.

[Texas Lawdog]

I never thought of that. The NASCAR teams have heaters to warm the fluids in the cars before the race starts.

[Leo Tanner]

My old buddy Charlie uses a cigarette lighter when a two stroke is bein fussy.  We clean the plug an then he holds the flame up to the electrode and the tool starts right up if ya get the plug in bafore it cools down.
