The Poboy Way

[Denny]

I just use my 1971 m35a2 6x6 Army truck. I crushed about 2,000 cans in 15 minutes flatter than you ever seen before.

Sorry Denny this is the "Poboy" way.
Running them over includes the expense of Gas!

Nope! See the M35a2 has what is known as a Multi-Fuel engine. Filtered old used motor oil works just fine in it and costs nothing but time. Some of the stuff I have run my truck on, old motor oil, old heating oil, kerosene, old bad gasoline, old bad premixed gasoline, automatic transmission fluid, mineral spirits, 2 stroke oil and finally regular old diesel fuel. The only things you should not run it on are alcohol and aviation gas.

The two main things Poboy runs on.

If I really get bored, I want sooo bad to try to make a gasifier to run a vehicle off of wood chips.

Gasifiers were real popular in Europe during and after wwii for running vehicles on due to the gasoline shortages there. Look up Mann Hyper Cycle engines for the Multi-fuel engines.

You have to look on the bright side...and celebrate life's little victories.

My eyesight has gotten to the point I can't read the info on the guide on my TV from the recliner.

I remembered I have a compact pair of binoculars. It just focuses turned all the way down.

Now I can be even lazier!!!

We got a new cable box and they changed the format of the "on screen guide" I cannot read it from the couch either.
That just means we need a big screen!

HAPPY to have a dead battery????

You bet!!!! That truck of mine kept having a dead battery after sitting. I never could quite figure out what was killing that battery.

Well...the groung cable was lose enough to just remove....so I charged the battery and removed the ground cable.

A few days later...hooked it up and it was TOTALLY dead!!!

I'd MUCH rather buy a new battery...than track down an automotive short!!!!

It could be that the battery was simply too old/damaged to hold charge... that happens

Yep....I don't really care...it's TOAST....and if just replacing it solves the problem...I'll be a HAPPY CAMPER!!!!

Same truck....(4 wheel drive)...I had just got it...took it out to the nature trail to get fallen oak to fuel my smoker. I used to park across the street and carry the wood across...but I thought ...hey ...I got a 4 wheel drive now....long story short...I barely got out of there....and on the few blocks home ..this truck was making the most horrible grinding noise...and I just hoped it would make it home so I could see what I had torn up.

I got home...and it was just the spare tire carrier dragging the ground!!!!

 

[chancer]

Thats sounds like quite the load of wood!

 

[Poboy kartman]

Is it just me???.

I see something like this...I immediately think about how to motorize it!

 

[OzFab]

It's not just you, Doug

My step dad had back surgery and wouldn't let me near the wheel chair.
He correctly assumed I would want to put a Predator on it.

The blonde I talk to just had some work done to her back. She has a wheelchair and walker now.
She WILL NOT go to Walmart to ride the fat people scooters with me no matter how many times I ask.
