 Topic: 'Fat ALLIS' did good

My old 7G got a good workout the last two days, got 90% of the remnant spoil pile from the foundation hole spread out and moved, will post photos as soon as can get them loaded. Less than 1/2 tank used for a full day and a half run time hard pushing and moving.

Took long enough, hard road to hoe when someone mistreats a old machine and you find out after purchase.
Slowly the bugs work out, I still have to charge batteries from time to time as the wiring and old generator are a mess, there are days!
Moved and shaped out close to 30 yards of spoil, filled in two terrace ends where they held water close to the new home so I can fence across and our mutts won't get out or wet and expand home yard, cleaned off the area I had used for the spoil pile and started moving materials around the septic tank.
Actually almost stuck the old girl, was trying to level the fill in one of the trenches, right rail began sinking and with shovel up got worse, laid the shovel down teeth up as a skid plate and drove it out, will leave it dry a few weeks before I try that again. Had it down in the muck almost to the top rollers.
Replacement trans does have some slippage, will be going into the pulled box this winter to see if can rebuild it, need to spend some time in the right final and swing the rails I have sitting in the shed, just no time right now, weather is good and time to get some work done.

I bet it's a great load off to have the house finished! Can't wait to see a picture next summer after all the landscaping is growing.

Not actually 'finished' just finished enough to get moved in to finish it out. Still have the garage to add on as soon as the old house check goes in the bank.

DMiller: Admire how you worked through the transmission and pump issue's. Many would have folded the cards.
Glad you have most of the bugs worked out, am doing the same on the Adirondack H3 Crawler.
Keep up the good work!
