Those pesky power poles get in the way, can't go clipping a wing off of it now can we.

Is that a Cessna 172 strait tail about a 58 I would guess with the two peace wind shield . I would say it has a 0300 with no vacuum pump on it . A good plane I hope it is going to be flying again I hate to see them on the ground in that condition . I guess it could be a old 175 with a gear drive also but I think it is a 172 .

John you are right, its a very early one, either a 57 or a 58. That pic was from a few years ago. Our friend that got it has it just about done and has asked us about moving it again, maybe not till after this winter. We'll get it there one of these days.

Good to hear it didn't get parted out and is about ready to fly again . Restoring a plane is a big job when done right , I have seen it take many years on a few projects . I fly a 64 , Cessna 172 that I have been slowly restoring and flying for the last six years .

This is the 2nd 172 he's done, I can't remember what year his other one is, but we did move it to the airport and help him put it together a few years ago.

I need to find the pictures if he still got em but my buddies truck the orignal owner pull 22 round biles of hay pretty often.

He's got pictures of it pullin a D3 LGP Cat bulldozer.

My friends dad has a trailer business.They go down to brain, texaz (home of gooseneck) and pull trailers back.The last time we went we pull a 24' dove tail gooseneck, with a 20' cattle trailer behind it with 4 truck beds on the dove tail with his 01 CTD flat bed.He has pulled 2 24' dove tails back behind a 88 ford 3/4 4 speed with a 302 before.Said it would only go 50 all the way back.

They go down there about twice a month to get trailers.Around here they are 800 minus fuel to go down there and come back.It used to be pretty good money till fuel went up to high.
