cheers graham

Running gear NOT good on this one

backing it off

I bet it still sounds cool. Have fun, John

Oh yes! it barks and snorts and whistles and chucks a ton of soot out!!

I like the trailers you fellows use to move your tractors with.Even after you take the cabs off I still wouldn't be low enough to move them around back in eastern Pa. We just moved 2 Cat 773's trucks on lowboy trailers and we got to one bridge and the sign said 14-4 high, guess what we were 14-0 and we got the bridge. Had to leave the air out of airbags to get under.

Dave looks like you have been busy, last time we spoke you were still working for Roly, did you get any work through Chris Lee ? Havn't spoken to him for a few weeks now. Where on earth did you find a Hampton tractor after all these years, looks like its been a farmer. Makes me wonder how many there actually are still laying around the country. Hope you are well. Regards Tim.

Hello Yellowiron, its good to see that you are busy again, that old D8 looks to be well worn, its only 44 years old with a slightly later engine, still, there are plenty of D8H tractors around earning a living.
Hello Gordon, Long time no hear from you, did you ever go for 'Systemone' track? I'm told its doing a very good job with most components running out together and giving extra life, thats' why I don't sell undercarraige any more, its lasting longer and there are less big tractors in the field to sell to.

Best Regards to you both.
