I used to run one of those with a Hancock elevator scraper on it.I don't remember there being any mufflers to obstruct my vision on the model that I ran though.LOL.
The people that designed it made the front wrap around bumper the fuel tank and it always impressed me as forward thinking engineering.Ron G

Yea me to ron, but you almost think that design would've been their first idea if they thought a little longer about it. JTL, your signature is funny, I related to it bc the city is so knitpicky about our stormwater regulations it's hard to make money without someone breathing down your kneck about regulations.

They're just like old Harleys, 'it don't leak oil, it's just marking it parking space" :rolleyes:
