A little weding and fabrication job.

If anyone is interested in the boat and the Jeep with the story plus how I restored these items this should be able to explain it all.


Here's a few YouTube video's of the two items:

YouTube - The Custom Canadian Forces Jeep

YouTube - Daniel's 1966 Custom restored pedal boat

4shorts,

That looks like a SITREX tedder/rake.
A cool little item, that may or may not work so well.

Sitrex and fransgard have funny shape baskets , This looks more like a proper PZ Haybob

We have two kids. Both are boys and both are members of the Canadian Armed Forces. My eldest son is a Biomedical Engineer in the Army and my youngest son is in Logistics in the Navy. Mom and I are very proud of them both. My eldest son will be heading to Afghanistan soon.

While doing an interview a while back the reporter asked me what I felt my greatest accomplishment was and I replied "That's easy. Raising to fine boys who caused no one any trouble who went on to serve our country trying to help others". She liked my answer





Paul,
God bless you, Kathy, and your sons. You share so much with our tractor community. Thanks for sharing your sons' service and the projects dedicated to them, as well. :thumbsup:

I wish I could turn Paul loose on the vehicles at Denver's Forney Museum.

They have interesting stuff and little money to restore anything; but they've been around since I was a kid. Darned if I know how they keep the doors open; but I'm glad they do.

d7e Not sure, but I've sold several of those, used and worked on a few myself. To me, looks identical to the Haymaker from Sitrex. If I remember right the haybob was made by Sitrex.

Thank you my friend for your kind thoughts. One thing i am passionate about is our military and yours as well. Those people are the best of the best in my eye. I'm happy to know you enjoyed seeing the photo's I posted on my sons. A family's greatest asset is there children

Good for them Matt. Nice looking site. Thanks for that like sir. I'm going to really check that out this evening. I wish I were closer to lend a hand to that place. Heck I'd even wash the windows! I do volunteer for our local museum when I can and over the years I've had to do some interesting stuff for them but that's a story for another time

I totally agree with Window Geeks comments above. God bless you, your wife and boys.

I too served in the Canadian military. I was in the Army Militia and spent a summer on maneouvers at Camp Petawa. Later I joined the Air Force as a regular. Back then it was called the RCAF.....still have my original cap. I got out when a guy named Hellier decided to combine all the forces. It was a big mistake. It was not only a great growing experience for an 18 year old but a chance to travel in Canada and experience some of the varied culture. My eldest son joined the Army and later remustered into the Navy. He is now out and living in Germany.

The country owes you and families a debt of gratitude for the service and sacrifices you and your sons make to keep North America safe. Living south of the border as I do now I say North America because it is a joint effort that both militaries share in common.

Cheers.
Glenn.

Thanks Glenn. I knew there was something about you that I liked and it just wasn't because your a good guy but because your an ex military guy as well. I agree with the Hillier comment. He pushed the Afghanistan mission and I've never agreed with that mission. How do you win fighting cowards? They hide behind a rock and detonate an I.E.D.
We just lost a 21 year old Newfoundlander this week. It breaks my heart when I hear of an American or Canadian solder dieing over there. when ever I hear of a Newfoundlander dying over there I fly the flag half staff and it breaks my heart to have to lower it. Freedom don't come cheap.

Thank you to you and your son as well. As I said in the past. You are Canada's finest and I tip my lid to you my friend. Thank you very much for your comments. My wife read them and she replied "That was sure nice of him" and it was.
