Nice pictures Bill. You wouldn't be baiting those dear with the apples,till huting season, would you? :)Nice to see the old bolts still working

Nah... I doubt Squeeze would do something like that... besides these things are like pests around here... and I've seen Great Danes bigger than some of the bucks. These are not big and beefy deer like you see on the prairies or in the mountains.. these are little wimpy deer.

Squeeze: Beautiful pictures I love looking at familys and the old trucks. Special year for crops, do you guys do anything special w/apples?

I thought that looked like my backyard and back 40 w/deer. I agree deer around here thicker than dogs hair. Except ours are big, clover, beans and corn fattens them uo good.

popcorn The Truth is Out There (Thanks for sharing)

Thanks for posting the pictures, Squeeze. I love seeing Stovebolts at work much more than I do seeing them at shows.

So, I imagine that you juice a lot of the apples (given that your handle is "Squeeze"). Do you ever make any hard cider or even applejack?

Oh, yeah, white tailed deer are thick as flies around here. Last year, over 116,000 were taken in Kentucky and we ain't a big state. Kentucky Deer Hunting

Well, answered part of my own question by going to your Cider Press web site.

So, have you ever turned any of your hard cider into real applejack?

squeeze,

cool pics, neat trucks still working, I dig it.

Nice Pix... there is a 59 Pickup on Camp Pendleton for sale at the lemon lot.. only $9000.00!!! It has shiney, dark burgundy paint, straight 6 with 3 on the tree. LOOKS to be in pretty good redone condition.

I'll get the phone number if anyone is interested.

(I'm not associated with nor do I even know the current owner of this vehicle)

Living here in Sunny So.Ca. I only needs look outside to see old working trucks every day , even a few of the _other_ brand still chugging along .

I work my '49 daily , towing cars , hauling parts & scrap , nothing quite like driving a Stovebolt with the 6 banger still in it , I love it ! .

Those pix are very nice , thanx for sharing them .

Stuart - hahahaha 'bait' them dear things?? they're like dirt around here, can't get rid of'em, and no hunting in that area [residential] - I employ'em to keep the drops cleaned up to keep insects in check

yes Jeff, I make lots of hard cider, as the beginning of making cider vinegar, and some of it gets sidetracked into excellent sippin cider I've also fiddled w/ a technique called fractional distillation which produces a thing the ol farmers in yer area woulda called 'frozen heart' but don't need the extra boost to relax after a hard day

right now in the thick of a real bumper crop and everyone wants to have a piece of the squeeze's time - pressin up to 2,000 gallons a week for other folks, w/ no time to do any for my label!! goin pickin occasionally is my only break labor day to christmas, but there's rarely a chance this year

I like pics too guys - throw more out there of the daily life of yer trucks!

Bill

Hey Bill--

I get kinda scared when u start talking factional distillation -- ur not fueling that cherry red and white truck with that frozen heart stuff are ya?
