Took the squares out for a 20 mile run down a creek close to my house. Dang near got run over by a spooked moose who was going full tilt across the trail.....would've been a bad day for me! Found this really cool snowmobiler warm up area too.....someone put a ton of time into it. Hopefully it doesn't get vandalized by some azz hat.

"Squares"

Scrapyard find
Just needs propane tank

How does that even happen? Maybe it's hot, lol. If all it needs is a propane tank....that's something! Maybe get the forks checked for cracks. We call that "Non-Destructive Testing" or NDT up here. Pretty simple to do but you have to have the supplies and ticket to properly certify as safe.

Wife asked what I was going to do with the left over brick from doing the front of the house. I was thinking throw it out. $3000 in extra material and now her fireplace is done. I hate working with this stuff.

Nice! Let me know if you want get into the masonry business. I know a woman who’s going to be putting some tools up for sale soon

Bought it from scrapyard, they took it in and were using it in the copper/battery/aluminum area of their operation (indoors.)

They upgraded and offered it to me for bit less than .10c/lb


I got it power washed, sending it out for service. I don’t think anything has been done on it for years.
Fluids/filters and brakes.
Likely it’s last service as I won’t use it enough to justify another.

I got tired of dealing with a leaky pan on the TH400 in my car, so I ordered this bad boy.

I'm tired of cleaning up oil spills just from pulling it into the garage.

That’s wild. Just sent some scrap up to San Antonio, $.11 a pound for junk. Great deal!

Forklifts seem to be the most neglected piece of equipment I've ever encountered.

Today, I did something that I havent done in years. Blew out the windshield of my excavator ripping out concrete. Thank goodness I had it down because that piece of rebar would have laid me out something fierce.

“Had it down”?

[90nut]

Had the windshield down, like closed.

^ Time for a screen like the forestry rigs have now? I think you got your freebie!

Those metal guards work good for keeping logs off your lap, or on a dedicated demo machine. But when your digging around utilities and the like a guy has gotta be able to see and be able to hear the ground guy yelling if he wants something different than what I'm doing. It's just glass, cost a few hundred bucks but it happens.

I agree 90, it is amazing how they go and go despite abuse

It goes out tomorrow to service

Does the service include a Trump 2024 decal upgrade?

[plastikosmd]

Lol

Possibly due to the sticker the forklift it has either been keyed by a rabid band of “do gooders” or someone needs to learn rear steering
