Geez Franc ..... I see it has 44hp .... maybe eurocharged can tweak that to.. ohhh! .. 50hp.
Then maybe you could get 0-60 in ..... ohhh ..... well ..... probably never yet. Congrats .. I'm sure you have a definite use for it.

She helped me pick the girl out. Knowing full well I couldn't handle a new young one she got me an old experienced gal.

That said, checkout the curves. You will have to admit, she has a nice "bucket."

The seller told me the are rare in that color. I was lucky to find one.

Being yellow, got me to thinking of Rudy. What do you think about having him put an SC V8 in that puppy.

A little bling, some leather on the seats, 20" Mobius or ADV1 wheels,

It'll just take them out, like they weren't even there.

I'll need four guys wearing hard hats holding up shovels and push brooms to do it though. Union, of course.

Hey, somebody let Barry know I got a shovel for them shovel ready projects he keeps talkin' about.

Wanted to congratulate you Franc; For the new acquisition, and for making it 13 posts (in this thread) before referencing politics, jk, ha.

I'm checking our my new Case 350 roadster this Wednesday.

I still have not figured out how to transport it from Decatur IL to Springfield MO (about400 miles)
My trailer is good for 11,000 lbs, which the seller claimed it was. Now he says it is more like 13,000 to 14,000 lbs

I have until end of January to pick up.

Anybody know of a lowboy trucker rig looking for a gig?

There are a few with low boys.....that is an old one you got there Franc, hope you have a few "heavy" duty tools...it takes big wrenches...lol...you looking for a backhoe? of what? I now see you got the backhoe attachment....well, good luck Franc, don't turn the damn thing over on top you while playing at the farm....lol

Thanks Doc.

Yes it is an old one. On purpose. No printed circiuts in the electronics. A simple machine.

My neighbor in Hippie ridge has an older D9 and is a diesel Cat mechanic. I'll be fine with older machinery and if I'm in over my head, he will be right there to help. No worries.

Ask around 'cause I would gladly spread some wealth to your hard workin' friends.
I'ts about 400 miles from Decatur IL to Springfield MO.
