Another shot of the corn detassling machine, and the old Bone.

A beautiful old '73 vintage D-7 I loaded in Somersworth, NH and brought it down to Fort Dix,NJ the following day. This thing was like NEW, hardly any hours, used mainly for training. Not even a clump of dirt anywhere on the entire track frame. Many newly replaced bolts, etc.Wish I had it for around here...

The new JCB wheel loader was the load I brought up from Port of Baltimore to Brentwood, NH, that got me to the next load being the D-7.

NJoy, Thanx.

Do you own your truck and trailer or work it for someone?

No Nedly, I smartened up considerably at least in one area of my life after 25 years in the transport business. I sold my iron last November, and fell into this position while stopping into this location that I've rented equipment from in the past. Went there to get an excavator to do a job, and ended up GETTING a job starting the very next day. Didin't get the machine as planned for 2 months after I started because I was so busy working for them.
It ended up being a sweet deal; excellent people to work with,(which I needed to have because I'm a thick-headed Hungarian who's been self-employed for over 20 some odd years,)and as you can see the equipment I run is top shelf. I'm actually enjoying it for now, until I get stupid again and figure something else out.:cool2
I pretty much stay to myself, really don't have anybody breathing down my neck at all, and the boss is the dispatcher and he's a genuine peach of a guy, so it's all good.:thumbsup

Not of that particular one, but the next batch I have yet to develop (I still use old-school technology,) has the next size up which is a 436 zx which I'll post later.

Thanx.
