new toy, (big, yellow and toothy)

[plastikosmd]

amen atc!
truck motor is a 557ci (460 bored 0.080 over and stroked)

Ok first accessory found, rear pto.

(and a gratuitous shot of the old clark 4wd articulating forklift)

When you said big yellow and toothy my 1st thought was you brought home a hooker

Nice accessory!! Is that your own forklift too??

[plastikosmd]

^lol
Lift is mine! Looks great in the burbs! Clark ranger, 4wd, articulated, 6k lift. Another oddball

[Dirtcrasher]

I love knowing that your very professional but love getting your hands filthy and into anything and everything!

Guaranteed your neighbors can't figure you out

[plastikosmd]

u got that right, very confused

[plastikosmd]

Well to add to the confusion,
I made a deal on another! I found a td340(diesel). The tracks are great, maybe 20% wear, I can barely feel a groove on bushings, front idlers are great, the rear sprockets are more worn than mine. Rollers about the same, some are tight others shot so can exchange good/bad ones on mine to make a full set. The motor has not run in 10 years but ran like a top when parked. It sat for 10 yrs so the surface of the pads on the ground could use some touch up. He parked it due to loosing power to left track. It may be simple but I was mainly wanted parts.

Sleeping in call room, door locked, she docent know yet

For parts?Right!First you will get it running.Next you will look into the drive problem.Which is more than likely time consuming.Rather than being exspensive.Then maybe a quick paint job.Next you will have to decide which one to keep.Or by then have found more parts machines.

I see u understand the issue!

And you'll just stick it in the loft until you're ready for it.........;-) I have a 500lb scissor lift table to work on my crap, what do you have a 10 ton crane, lol?

[plastikosmd]

I like the allis chalmers garden tractor what is it a b-10 or b-12. Also like all your equipment especially the clark fork lift I remember driving one of those when I went to work with my dad in the summers had lots of fun on it and have lots of fun on old heavy equipment there just isn't any other felling like driving old iron.

[Dirtcrasher]

I think a crane in a false chimney would be a great idea

You are a smart man my friend!!

You got it. I love the old iron too. My backhoe isn't too old 1982 but my lathe and mill are 1920's and 1960's in that order.
