Yup the killed a 11 ft rattler this yr not a mile away. LOL that front end is all cast, It must weigh 500 lbs. Im gonna get the grill and the lights out though, theres a Popping johny right next to it,, still complete. Plus lots of horse drawn equip laying about.

That's a nice pic, TC. Do you think young folks would believe that was pretty much it for workin the fields then? It probably wouldn't pull a 4 bottom plow, but it got the job done. Now about that 11 ft. rattler claim...?!?

Come on now,you know TC!That was probably an 11ft alligator.

But things are bigger in Texas. Joking aside, I think the biggest recorded rattler did come out of Texas. Which is where it belonged.

maybe they were stretching it a bit. 7' 11"

OU know I was kidding a little TC. The longest rattler I ever saw in real life was in SE Oklahoma. It was a diamondback right at 6 ft. long. The thing that amazed us though is that it was skinny. It wasn't much thicker than two inches. Very strange, and very dead at the time.

LOL rginn I was just repeating the story, I was told it was 11 ft (or maybe someone down the line heard 11 and what was said was 7'11")

Probaly the world record if this is true,, and not in Manor
