Okay, here's the latest project I've been working on, definitely a useful tool around the place. It came from a Sheriff's auction, cost was $2,000 and the dept. delivered it (helps to know people). After another $500 it was ready to rock & roll.

Holy cow! That sure would look good sitting next to my Seabees pipeline basketcase. Great score Bill. Gonna paint the motor seafoam green?

Bill,
It's a wonder when they dropped off that creampuff they didn't bust you for stealing it! That's awesome! I have to agree with Kenny though, that CAT needs to be repainted. Looks like she just came from the dealer lot. Nice going. Oh, BTW, I'm in need of borrowing a front-end loader for helping construct my new house in Houston.....................

The rig was orignally camo, but in poor condition with oil and grease everywhere. After man hours steam cleaning we re-painted it with some gloss army green that a friend gave me, turned out rather cool looking! The original markings underneath were US Navy so we did it up as a Seabee (only fitting), later it had gone to the US Army then the US Air Force. It's a 1967 that was repowered in 1993 hence the bright yellow motor. Don't know what color we're gonna paint that, but no not seafoam green :) BTW Kenny I do have your paint boxed up ready to go;)
Now I just wish I had that 5 ton dump to go along with it!

Bill, let me know how much you owe me for that gallon of paint and I'll send you a bill! (<_<)
