Duck Pond Redneckery

We had 3 of them at the last job I worked. Got to drive one a few times and liked it. Braking is so smooth. A different feeling all together. Takes off like a rocket too.

look back at the compressors, then take the Briggs and come up with a power washer, need one for under my 5th wheel etc. oh yes I can go straight to a store and buy one, same with a compressor, but, I wasn't raised that way.

What are you talking about? Trying to pump water with the air pump (aint gonna work), or filling the air tank with water & using air to force it out?

I have a 5 HP pressure washer. It's like 2500 or 3000 psi or something.

I'm talking a Redneck power wash(homemade), did you make yours?
I try not to run to the store for everything that's what I meant by I wasn't raised that way.

Nah I just ran to the store for it.

It's got a 5 horse vertical shaft briggs engine.

I used it twice & then drained it & put it away.

While I was out trucking, my dad came & stole it, used it and didn't drain it before putting it back. That winter the water in it froze & split the pump open. I was pissed. So pissed I can't even stand to look at it. I bet the engine is seized up by now. Damn thing was brand new.

More hillbilly stuff.

Using scraps of whatever I had lying around in the workshop:

There's nowhere in this '07 Pete 387 to put a pack of smokes & a lighter within reach of the drivers seat.

And this was a pain in the ass:



So I grabbed some tin-snips & a couple scraps of sheet metal barn siding & did even more hillbilly crap.







@Sinister is probably hearing banjo's right about now...

I thought I would point out that you could tuck your smokes between the visor and the roof. I have done that for years. The T680 comes with a space in the dash that fits a pck of smokes perfectly. I am not sure if that is what it for but that is how I use it.

Nice toilet paper rack.

My S-S has a nice space under the radio for my pack of smokes and the box knife I use to cut the filters in half.

Putting them between the visor & ceiling would prevent the visor from being used for it's intended purpose though.

The truck also only had one 12 volt outlet up front but I solved that problem last week with some top quality hillbilly engineering.

The piece with 4 holes is one of the rectangular knock-outs from the circuit breaker panel in the barn, that you have to break out to install the breakers.

Oh, and that's not even a coat hanger weld. I used rusty baling wire.

Thinking this needs to be in my barn.

I was right. It did.



Thinkin' now I need a hernia operation. Damn thing is heavier than I am.
