Pictures taken in late 2004 at a farm sale in Oregon. This particular example had the 8 foot bed and was described as "one big machine". Unfortunately it was in very poor condition with many parts missing or broken - and evidence in the form of brazed repairs to the main casting that it may have fallen over. Because the backgears were missing a previous owner had taken the once popular route of using a motorcycle gearbox in the transmission (in this case from a Harley Davidson), to provide a range of slow speeds.
