But -- they did have a planer large enough so it would have
carried my Mazda B2600i 3/4 ton pickup truck and planed it down to
nothing -- if it still worked. :-)

The B2600 was a 3/4 ton? My B3000 was only half ton.


3/4 ton, 4WD, fuel injected IIRC, a pair of tiny fold-down seats
behind the real seats -- for small people. :-)

I used it to drive my Bridgeport BOSS-3 Series-I up the hill
from the flatbed which brought it here. And that was spec'd to weigh
3300 lbs with all the copper and transformer iron added to the regular
iron of the Series-I mill. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
