[AT] Tractor hauling truck

[crawler]

 I've been thinking about buying an old road tractor and knocking an axle
out. You can find 94-96 tractors loaded $5000=8000,i may spend alittle more
and get a Pete with a 500 HP cat :) anyway you get alot of truck for 5=6 tho
and it will pull anything you got and it can have a sleeper   ED
