Now that is 40 abuse..........
i kinda did that to my 40 once. Didn't get a picture though 
. I was just barely able to shift and steer. Luckily I was only going a couple blocks (this was to clean up my senior design project, which was an array of 4x4 and 2x4 lumber plus some misc. lumber and hardware. Had the top off and windshield down and had stuff way over the hood and way out the back end, piled high!
...but I wouldn't want to be the driver in that picture if one of those logs came loose...

Those tires are as smooth as a babies butt. I can't believe they load stuff like that themselves.
that thing is not very loaded.. just look at the rigs behind it. I would not want to be the driver. Those ropes fail or it tips over because a spring snaps and he's going to be crushed like a grape in hand.

I do believe there is a front end loader. You guys have some super fun toys. We'll have fun! Lisa

Getting the skid steer unstuck…barely made it with a single line pull with the M12000. The 80 is anchored to a tree behind with a winch line. The hand throttle came in handy. So many cool utilitarian options from Toyota.

Just another snow removal day for the 53 year old "Working Pig". This truck has been plowing in the mountains since 1975!

You obviously got your breaker points situation straightened out.

Yes! And, thanks again for the points offer! Yeah, I got a restored OEM dizzy for the F motor from a guy on MUD and added a new battery and the thing fires right up and pulls hard.........but, seems I'm chasing down either a vacuum leak or the carb needs rebuilding due to once it's been driven for a couple of hours and hot, it won't restart or starts and stumbles and dies and won't restart till it cold again......When cold if starts like a new Toyota! Go figure.....

Sounds like vapor lock - most likely you need a new fuel pump. They're inexpensive and easy to replace.
