Well Pulling Rig Gets An Overhaul

Mr. KD never ceases to amaze me! He always has to have a project. So, it was becoming apparent that his well pulling rig pickup was on its last leg.... so he bought this used international truck and moved everything from the old rig over to the new one.

The project took a couple weeks. And the whole farm crew had a hand in the overhaul.

Yall 'member this old pickup? This is what he started with.




He looked and looked for a used utility bed to fit on the truck, but never had any luck finding one. So, he just built one! Well he used parts of the old bed and added to it.



The backend is all new.



And waa-laa! A whole new RIG! Turned out pretty good. And yep my KD did it!
Pake was looking over my shoulder at these pictures. He said, "Momma you're going to have to go with us next time we pull a well, cuz it's pretty cool!" I think it's pretty cool my kid thinks that's cool. Wait he's an Adams boy, and they dig anything mechanical. But we don't want any wells going out, cuz it's Saturday. And we don't want to work too much. But wells tend to go out in the most inconvenient times. Like on Saturday afternoon, or in the middle of a storm, or when we've made plans. But hey with this rig it's that much easier to get the job done.
