This just showed up for sale...
 
Found this thing in my local CL today, immediately I knew I should bring it here and ask what you think of this. I actually think it looks decent, quite something that's for sure.

I know I do not need any more problems

Waste of time and money.

I have to agree, pullers are pretty much only money pits. You put hours of time and lots of money into it, and then it blows up and you gotta rebuild it all again. I have a buddy with an Allis Puller, he hasn't used it in years. It's name? "Chapter 11" :biggrin2:

The first time it does a wheelie and he rams the clutch in, and that front end comes down hard, the butchered right frame rail will fold like a wet noodle.
And that is before anyone hangs any weights on it.
Why people think they can just cut up things with no thought, is beyond me.:bash:
Not worth scrap price.

Kill it with fire, then piss on the charred remains.

This was at a plow day last weekend in South Carolina. I talked to the owner and I think it was pretty cool how he did it. He plowed all day with no issues until he lost a bolt for the steering. It has a Chevy 283 with propane hooked up to the tips but that wasn't hooked up for plowing. Even with that exhaust it wasn't that loud.

Now that is a pretty sick looking machine! Looking at it, the real difference between it and the one I found for sale is the frame. Clearly the owner knew that he had to strengthen the frame up if he wanted to use that V8 in it, you can clearly see all the extra fabrication underneath the original frame.

Like Ol' George said above, the one for sale had a chopped up frame with no extra supports anywhere, probably wouldn't last long.

And it looks pretty darn cool with the propane flames :biggrin2::biggrin2:

Pullers belong in the scrapyard.

That one isn't an exception.

I hope you're talking about the one in my original post, and not the one Oak posted on. That puller I found wasn't worth anything, I'll admit that.
