The Doc says get regular exercise right? So as soon as I got home from work today I fired up the D2 (first pull, gotta love it) and took it out for a stroll.
It still has the brush rake on it, so I cleared some debris off the trail around the property. Dry, dusty, and high fire hazard, so didn’t get carried away, but sure felt good to get the fluids flowing.
Hi, Potato Wilson.
It'z great to hear that you a little exercise pulling on those levers. I hop you didn't tear any muscles, tendons or ligaments in the process.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Best way to keep the steering frictions from freezing up is regular exercise
Yesterday I met a fellow ACMOC member Ray at an antique engine swap meet in Galt. Super cool guy, and sounds like he’s got quite the collection of crawlers! Funny thing, it wasn’t long before I got a text from Juiceman saying he’d already heard I was out looking for some good deals!
Anyways, chatting with these fella’s reminded me I needed to be exercising the D2 more. It finally rained a little bit, and knocked the dust down at least for now. It was a perfect day to step away from a shed rebuilding project I’ve got going on, and drag some stumps. The D2 was ready. 2 pulls to get the pony going, a little spin time for the main, and it came to life. Spent the afternoon dragging some stumps and piling them in an out of way spot. Had a great time just chugging along in 1st gear, up and down through the draws on the property. Flying solo it’s hard to get action shots, so I’ve just got a pic of the D2 taking a breather….
Maybe some of you folks could join in and post some pic of your machines getting some exercise too.
Hi, P. W.
Glad ter see that you and your D2 are getting some exercise.
It'z NOT that the juice hauler has radar or is psychic. He just has a LOTTTTA 'confidential informants'.

Looks like Nevada!
California actually. About 50 miles east of Bakersfield. We finally got enough moisture to do a little work!

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
