Let it be known that Charlie had one of the first HPFP's ever built that had the old style motor on it.....so as not to ensue a panic! haha....

I've seen them as light as 800lbs. If you find someone who rolls them small or just doesn't pack much hay in them, they'll get pretty light. Usually the difference between the person make hay to sell and the person making it to keep. LOL

I thought everyone knew I had an antique FASS!

If the new ones are an improvement of mine, they have to be the best pumps out there.

Off topic opinion needed..

So, hypothetically speaking. If someone rear ended you and then went for a drug test and then before the results even came back sent a letter to his boss quiting because he can't PASS a drug test, what would you think his chances of a defense be? Hypothetically speaking of course..

Funny story for the Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pulled into a convienience store this am (had my dogs with me)... set the turbo timer ... and walked inside.

When I came out, there was one of the store clerks outside having a cigarette. She called to me...
Clerk - "Are those your dogs?"

RJ - "Yes"
What I wanted to say - "No. They just jumped in and asked me to take them for a ride"

Clerk - "Did they shut your truck off by themselves?"

RJ - "No...it's a turbo timer to cool down the engine"
What I wish I had said - "I hate it when they do that... but it's really bad when they put it in gear!"

RJ
