All are shoe quality. i put in a BendPack 9000 pound lift and really enjoy fooling around with them. Always need to do something to one of them. Also have the...

    Well, I am still around. Some down time in the hospital as my pacemaker wires wore through my chest and then got infected. I got a new generac whole house generator installed and used the loader quite a bit to cut down a bank and level the spot for the propane tank and generator. The old 951-c...

    Just got out of the VA hospital yesterday evening. About a month to heal and I should be good to go. I have spent more than forty days in the hospital since last July. All equipment ready to roll and I have 200 gallons of diesel. Come on spring!

    Cat 951-C in my sights

    Good idea Welder Dave, but I did spend a full month after coming home watching re run westerns on the TV. That got old quick. I kind of think the only way to regain some of what has been lost is to get busy with something meaningful. Physical therapy sucks, when the same energy could be spent on...
