Great to see things re-released.
One time I payed $110.00 for a Peerless Log Trailer. When they came out again, I bought several.

Thats right, the White Road Boss reissue was a let down because the hood still does not fit.

I have only laid my eyes on 2 of the long hood versions, one was new and it did not fit at all. The shorter hood version is far more popular. Ap40 |
