Crawler Dollars

Well now, you just never know what the answer is going to be when you ask a question on this BB! Good info there!

I think I know the answer to this one however. Will your Sweed blade be at the June show?

JanM

Affirmative on the Sweed blade Jan.

Any body that wants anything there might want to hurry.Says he has until the end of the month.Wants scrap price which he claims is $175 ton,seems a bit high as I have not seen prices that high around here.Don't care for his attitude,saw him take a nice A-C model M crawler, flip it and roll it over several times destroying all the tin and exposed engine parts.More like a vandal than a responsible adult.The place he takes it to will sell parts from machines-Sutton salvage Lewiston Id.At least they used to.

Yes his attitude leaves some to be desired, and good luck getting him to answer the phone. I was there Thursday and there wasn’t much left.

Did he have the jimmy powered Td 9 dug out of the brush yet??

He had been coasting it to start it. last time he parked it it wouldn’t quite coast, soooooo he nudged it with the D5 he has on site just to get it to a steeper spot. Next thing you know the old Jimmy lights off and the TD9 is headed to Juliaetta. So he chases it down with the 5 and spins it to head it in a better (?) direction, by now the Td is headed down hill fast and ends up in the brush spun out where he was able to get on it and shut it off. When I was there Thursday you could see the back end of it sticking out of the brush, made me chuckle a bit, especially since nobody was hurt.

Was there sunday and saw the TD 9 down there.I didn't even ask what happend ,figured it was something stupid.Bought a D-4 carcass with a decent undercarriage and tried to deal on a couple more cats,only he thought they were more valuable than I did.

Did you see that HD6? It sure is straight, and I was tempted, but I don’t need it. I wonder what’s wrong with it??

Saw the HD6,does look good.If he'd sell it for scrap you couldn't go wrong.Better grab it before he ruins it though.
