Road gear.....

Dave O'Brien · Dec 30, 2013

Dad and I were out moving round bales today. Nothing like hitting road gear, full throttle on a 706 to remind myself....I need a thicker hat.

Or a old fashioned Flight helmet and goggles. Jim

And old fashioned heat houser makes a world of difference at this time of year . as it can get a bit breeze setting up there in road gear as depending on tire size on a 706 you can get up to 20-25 MPH . And ya NEVER ever want to see just how fast a 460 gasser will go when ya sorta bypass the gov. and twist her tail up to 5 grand in road gear. And if ya want a fun ride how about a Super 88 Oil All Over with a Ford 390 4 Bbl. running down the road at 4000 , let just say you are exceeding the SMV speed limit a little.

You need a good old ear lapper hat that you can't seem to find anymore. The wind does not go through them. Mine is getting thin and still better than a knit hat.

not sure if you are talking about the same thing as me but . . . I wear a hard hat liner. They cover my ears well and go down the back of the neck pretty far. much warmer than a knit hat.

Happy New Year!
