I was already at that time talking with Jeff Baggett the owner about it. Anyway I finnally got all the details worked out and went over to Birmingham on Sunday and loaded the trailer Monday. The tractor had already showed up in Jacksonville on Saturday. It's good to have friends with the right equipment to help unload. A good friend of mine just three blocks away helped out, so when I get the chance I will sneak down to his place and hook to the trailer and drag back. they both have been sitting for about 9 years. The tractor runs good. But needs some attention. Somebody by passed the fuel filters and ran a fuel line from the tank straight to the pump. That's the easy think to fix. The not so easy thing is the clutch. The flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate are all three stuck together. So I'm hoping when I get the fuel problem fixed I'm going to drive it around and maybe by getting some heat in it and a little rough driving it will free up. I'm not looking forward tot he alternative, which is pulling the motor and trans. You have to pull them both as a unit, you can't just drop the trans. by itself in this beast.
P.S.
Messing with this project is what has kept me away from the M125 the past several weeks.
So , thats the truck and trailer you were telling me about on the phone last night. Another 10 ton project for you. Your becoming the 10 ton LEGEND.Good luck with it.
Of course...you're going to need a tank for that rig once you get it restored.
