Title: Not a Mopar, but a Cool Machine
Post by: 73440 on May 30, 2022, 09:24:37 AM
Drove thru Ft Stockton Texas Sat and found this machine on the side of the road.

Maybe a mining machine ? Or an arm amputater !

Damn wanted to tow it home !!!

Looks like a partial, early well drilling rig.  Water, but in Texas perhaps its an early oil drilling rig. It's cool whatever it is.  Does look like an arm puller, hell a let puller.   Dangerous thing. 
Stuff like this makes me proud to know that the men who came before me were a group of me with huge balls. 

I hope to live up to even a percentage of our previous forefathers gusto.

Agree, a well driller more likely than mining.
Great yard art for sure !!!

Definitely will be checking if its for sale.

Looks more like some kind of conveyor/crusher to me, but then, that's just my  :alan2cents:   :cheers:

Yup, I think a machine like that has claimed many appendages... :o

Looks neat though.

Interesting equipment for sure -

used by the Alien's to build the pyramid's
