Not the first time I have done some pretty sketchy lifts at home. Just be mindful of the pinch points and crush zones!!!! Bridgeport base. All done!!! And in it's new home.

Now the twins need to be separated!!! I have been reading all the post a gathering all the supplies to go through these machines and bring them up to date. Fuel lines, well nuts, SST fasteners, JD break in oil for the unit with 29 hours, and filters. First issue, you can't get the tank access...

Sense I was home over the kids spring break and still had time off I contacted GP and asked if there was a way to pic it up early? Mind you that this was the very beginning of this Covid-19 outbreak. I was told "If I could be there by 0800 Friday to come and get it". Panic buying a pental...

First off, hope everyone is doing well in this time of "Self Quarantine". I was the shocked winner in GP auction out of San Antonio, Texas. Was watching the auction site and amazed at how high the 803a's were going for!!!! Then the 802a's without trailers were going for what seamed about...

By your location, looks like you could use the "Winter Kit" more than me!!! It really crowds an already crowded space. It would be nice to know it's travels from birth in 1998, to the heater install on 09/2001 by Radian Inc, to how it ended up in San Antonio Texas, then finaly to me in Lake...

I hear where you are coming from!!! Just picked up the two 5 kw gen set trailer with plans to sale one to fund the other. Now I'm thinking of mounting one in a permanent location with the transfer box. Set up the other as a bug out unit with extra tanks mounted to the trailer. Just need to get...

Not going to get into the tire debate. Just know that they are very heavy!!!! Pulled one off as a red neck theft deterrent 😎. All the fluids have been drained one both. The back one (2) has the overflow nipple at the radiator broken. Missing the overflow cap. Fuel tank has a layer of sludge in...

Falstaff, sorry that you had one let loose on you!!! Made it home with no issues, Stopped every so often to check the tires and bearings. The tires were no warmer than the trucks and the bearings were barely warm to the touch with bare hands. Kept the speed between 60-65 mph, They arn't Z...
