Bob,
I bought a 1956 Clarktor 46 aircraft tug a couple of months ago that was literally on its way to the scrap yard when I stopped the guy and asked if he would sell the thing. Mine is 95% complete, only missing a couple of gauges and the hood side panels. It runs like a champ! Only took some fresh gas and a carb gasket replaced that was leaking to get it to fire up. Mine weighs a little over 6,000 lbs., so it is no light-weight. It has dual rear wheels, three forward and one reverse speed, and a Chrysler industrial flat-head six in it. I do, in fact, drive it out to the mailbox to retrieve my mail. I don't give a hairy rats ass what anyone thinks about that. I saved this fine piece of machinery from being chewed up and melted down into an unrecognizable lump of metal. One less machine gun made in china.
Enjoy your toy!
Jerry
