Yea, there's one near us in North Canton - one of those places that has constantly changing stock so if you find something you like best to buy it when ya see it cuz it might not be there tomorrow.

So Tom, can you spill the beans on anything "under development" there in Hatfield...??? :?:

I've been to the one here just outside of Cleveland. There are some real gems there, plus lots of real junk. You can understand why some of it never sold on the first go-round. Still, worth it for a lot of things.

Looks cool. Have you heard of thrashing trails? (I think) in Xenia I think. I asked the owner of the campground if he knew of any jeep trails and that's the one he came up with.

No, never heard of it. I only know of the Maple Farms in Oxford and Haspin Acres in Ind that are close to Cincy. Then go south into Ky with Dirty Turtle down by Kentucky speedway, Bill's offroad near Berea and Big Rock at Maysville.
There is the C.O.R.E. offroad group in Cincy and of course Muddy Buddys that you can google and check out their websites, may have info on there.

Yea, had the spring tension off, just corroded. Looks like I'll probably have to cut nut off.
If I do it right, I maybe able to save threads and just get new lock nut and re-use, but then I rarely get it right. :dizzy:

Does Marlin have any of the 4X Guard tranny skids in stock? I'm going to the ECS event in Wind Rock, TN with the LOST gang and thought I should upgrade the tranny skid from the Mopar unit.

The black good nose is off the tractor I'm restoring. Need the nose cone to keep hood on so I will try to keep it in good shape while I repair the other.... Few metal brackets, some screws and a lot of fiberglass. Only nose cones to get are used one and people selling know they are worth a lot so..... :banghead:

This is my work tractor so as long as I can repair so it will hold hood properly and not look too bad, good for me. The good nose will go back on the nice tractor.
