Phil & Paul filled a truck and a trailer as well, Paul got his infamous hot gas defrost GE TURQUOISE i might add fridge. A beauty !
Phil, well, Phil is Phil so it was all Frigidaire with him except he is weakening towards the Maytag-side, dark influences indeed .
Paul is doing his "happy dance" in deadly tempeatures, we faced 20 degrees with 20-30 mph winds all day to rescue! NOTE I got the Real Poppy Red! not that frigidaire-fake later BRICK red gahhh !

LOL ! how true Greg !! How true !!
I still felt it was fast with 3 machines and one balanced on the tailgate !!
The truck was held down on the highway with the 3 machines and I used a 1/4 tank less for the return oddly !
It was very windy all day, I was driving into the wind going up so it was at my back returning, that has to be the reason for the savings.

We did use more gas on or way back and I had to downshift in 3rd speed many times on the 87 as I couldn't get faster than 40 mph with the pedal to the floor in 4th or 5th speed! But we finally made it back home!
One happy guy and another one that seems to be contemplating in the background! | ||

 Glad you got everything home safely Jon! As Phil mentioned, dragging that trailer and a full truck bed sure seemed to hamper our ability to climb the Adirondacks on the way home.
No sooner had we unloaded the trailer items into the garage of my vacant former rental property west of Montreal than it started snowing like crazy. We were paranoid the Buffalo storm was paying a visit, but it was not the case; and as you may have seen, we got the fridge down to Ogden safely and bonus, it works!!
More on the other finds to follow... | ||

That is definitely a sweet looking machine. Congratulations on a great find! Hopefully you don't have to do much work on them. They look to be in fantastic shape. Can't wait to see a video of the machine "thumping" away. Again- CONGRATULATIONS WOOHOO! | ||
