    Large impact sockets, wrenches, impacts on cart.

    I assembled this collection over 30 years, and just recently built the cart to organize them. I don't need any of this anymore, I'm too old and crippled up. IIRC sockets go to 3 7/8" but I know I have a 4" socket, might have gone lost. If I find it, I will include it. Pick up in Erie, Pa...

    I can "drive" as dozer, and not damage it, I'm not a professional by any means, and I have to drive very slowly to hold a grade.

    Unknown wheel loader, can anyone identify ?

    Found this down in Starbrick, pa. Local block plant. I can't see a name on the back, nor the sides. I did walk around back, but forgot to snap pix. Dashboard is odd, looks to be big long panel with industrial electric push buttons. My thought is it's a military special tool carrier type machine.

    When and WHY did Bobact turn their engine sideways ?
