Well, I got my new baby home today. Turned out to be quite a chore. We got a fourth wheel & tire on it, thanks to the kindness fellow Texan John Foster. Hooked up my friends backhoe to pull it out of the muddy field it was in and found that the left front wheel is locked up and won't turn. It had set in the mud so long, that the brake is rusted up on that wheel. We just let that tire slide all the way up to where we had the trucks parked.After much head scratching, we ended up using the backhoe to lift up the rear of the Powerwagon while I backed my trailer under it. Then we picked up the front and I backed on under the front. Chained it down and headed home. Trip was only about 10 miles across town and I sure got a lot of looks and waves from people who passed us.We used the same method in reverse to unload at my shop. Boy, it sure looks big now that it is out of the mudhole and sitting up on inflated tires.The whole project took us about 6 hrs. But, time flys when you are having fun.
