Jerry you can buy it if you want! It’s a lot rusty and no off the lights isn’t fixable. But I have carefully disassembled the hole unit, so I can try to rescue it... I put on the led’s because I need lights now :) |

Whoa,,,, the quality of your "laying around stuff" is superior to anything I have laying around Morten! hahahaha. I took my cushions off to have my wife do a make over and in the mean time I am using a milk crate or two with a hunk of rubber foam on them. |

I have just added some more light on the tractor. I have mounted them on the blade lifting cylinders so I don’t see them from the operator station. Now I’m able to see the cutting edge off the blade again 👍🏻

Considering where you live, the days are pretty short this time of the year, those long summer days are nice though. I'd never seen a picture of a trailer like the one used to haul the crawler, are ones like that common in Europe? Also, what brand truck tractor is hooked to the trailer, looks sharp, we don't have many big cabover tractors here in NA. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |
