 Topic: why does folks do this to me
Posted: 05 Dec 2016 at 7:39pm |
|
I have an overwhelming desire to get to playing with a well functioning road grader, and so far I just have two malfunctioning road graders sitting in the yard, along with at least 100 other projects, waiting for me to turn my attention to them. Then what happens. ..? Well I do may daily visit to bis-man online, put allis chalmers in the search bar, and what is the first thing that pops up. ...? An M100B road grader sitting there looking like a million bucks, and ad says "transmission doesn't work; make an offer". So far I've exercised self control, and not called and made an offer, but what, what, what if he'd take 100 bucks for it. ? And it's soooooo much newer and nicer than the 2 I already have. This one even has cab glass, and I'd bet a heater, too. And what if the transmission would happen to be something real simple. Perhaps I need help, in fact I KNOW I need help. Lol. Darrel

Shameless what are you waiting on help your buddy Darrel. I am thinking if you keep him snowed in somebody else can get stuck with this non running piece of history.
Or you could go out back of the shed and dig him up one of the cans you got stashed.

lol@Mel....yep Darrell, me thinks you need to just pick a few things to burn yer money on instead of 200 different things! I say 200, cuz if you already gots 100, it won't be long before it doubles! me thinks when it warms up and dries up at your place, I wanna come play there! i'm real good at dismantling, it's up to you to puts it all back together in werking order! might save you a little time!

Well, the way the weather is here today, I think my best option is to put up a small shed over top of the HD5G that's already in the big shed, in order to somewhat contain enough heat around it to be a good working environment. Then concentrate on getting it operational, and forget about the road graders, for the present time at least. Weather is quite "Shameless-ized". Darrel

No, no, no, no Coke. No more projects, except maybe this M100B. Lol. Trying to trend towards newer, not older anyhow. Darrel

Darrel if you get that 100b, you'll forget about your other graders. I've ran one and they're a good machine. Good luck on your dilemma. LOL!!

Yes, D grader, if I could get rid of the forty-five and the AD3, I'd be all over that M100B. I am sure that it would be a far better machine. Darrel

It seems when I see a good running specimen without issues, they go for pretty good bucks. I'm guessing your small road work, parking lot type construction pavers buy them. I think you better go buy that one Darrel, fix the two, keep one, make some money, Trev.

I got all the plexiglass for it already - only thing is I stored it with the paper still on it - now it just doesn't come off easily - something about setting for 20 or so years makes the paper stick on

I had to open up that M100B ad again this morning, and drool over it again for an hour. Looks to even have a scarifier on it. Got dangerously close to hitting the "text seller" button, but chickened out. Darrel

Well Shameless, me ain't just sure what I'd have to pay for that, and it does say something to the effect of "transmission doesn't work right", or something like that. But I sure could have some fun with it in the plentiful supply of snow that you sent up here. Maybe playing in the snow with that would make me a little less cranky. Least wise, my wife, for some reason, thinks I'm cranky.
And Mitchell, you had ought to check it out. It's just a short little jaunt for you to go over to Minot and fetch it, haul it back to your shop and fix the transmission, and let Santa Clause deliver it to me. Lol Darrel

Well Shameless. He wants 2,500 bucks for it. It has some sort of a clutch issue. All of this according to Mitch, who wouldn't lie about a thing like that. If I wasn't shy 2,500 bucks I'd own it. It looks like an excellent machine. Darrel
