Hope everyone was "good" and got what they wanted for Christmas! A little introduction: I'm a retired FF/EMT after serving for 26 yrs......Great job, no regrets. I was given the privelege to do things and go places that most people cringe about. Along the way I got to meet some of the greatest people too. Always welcomed you to there "house" with a cup of coffee, a seat at their table, and a story to share. I'm getting the feeling that the people in this forum are cut from the same fabric, and I'm lucky to have stumbled out of the woods and into this site. So with that being said, it's now time to do the things that I've always wanted to do since I was a little boy. You guessed it! Run machinery and play in the dirt! I've aquired a few pieces of my own so far....1986 International S1600 dump truck, 80's(ish) TLB 480 (more on that in the right forum), late 60's (ish) Compact articulated loader, 2000 Kaufman 14K, 20', tilt bed trailer, and last but not least, a 1986 Waldon 5000 articulated loader. Everything runs! Most of it even works! I'm learning as I go along, not afraid to ask questions, and willing to share information that has been kindly shared with me. I hope I've passed the audition, and I'm off to try and post something. Thanks and Best Regards,
Jack :)
