On the Road Again

.. both pins dropped in "slicker than a d1ck in a barrel of lard" to quote a former workmate of mine from many years ago.

Remind me not to eat any fried food if I visit your former workmate!

I’ve heard the K’s are a lot better than the H.
That top auxiliary shaft through the guts is an awkward job

The K's don't have the upper pump drive shaft. The main implement pumps & drive are mounted above the drive shaft from the converter to the transmission and about halfway between the two. The upper shaft is now only about 2ft long.

Its nice seeing something going together clean! LOL I was with an assembly crew back in the late 80's on 2 Manitowoc 4100's. Hell, I was in my mid 20 to late 20's and full of **** and vinegar. It was a great time putting those together..........BACK THEN! Looking at these great pics I know I have to leave this crap up to you youngers guys. At 57................All I see is alot of PAIN. Just looking at the work involved on these projects makes my entire body ache

Keep up the great work Nige. I will live vicariously through you SIR!

I'm fast approaching the "three score and ten". What does that make me..?

I hope an owner or a supervisor!!!

There's not much space in that rear frame now. A view from the right side of the frame above the steering cylinder.
Not that there was a huge amount of space in the previous models, but at least you could scoot round it and limbo dance over/under the drive shafts......

If by that you mean I get to tell people what to do, you're right. Problem is that frequently you also have to get in there and show them how to do it as well.

let's see if I remember the Gettysburg address and do the math right
I'm 3 score and 10 and closing in on six months!

For the internet challenged ... threescore is 60. Phrase "Threescore" formerly used for sixty, in the way that we still use a dozen for twelve, and (occasionally) score for twenty

The real question is - do you have to take your shoes off to count to "score"?

 

[crane operator]

And if you take your shoes off to count to score, do you have to have someone else count your toes, because you can't see your toes?

Sometimes ... I have to get my wife to help find my glasses ... can't see them to find them. I'm a regular Mr. J. Quincy Magoo. I take them off to read or look closely at something. Then forget where I was.

Obstruction in the sight line is a different situation if that's what you mean

It makes you my age Nige. Live for every day.

Used to work with an old fart. The look on his face was priceless when I asked him at coffee one day what dirt looked like when it was still clean.

Pretty cool to follow along Nige. The pic with the guy by the front really puts some scale to the size. You definitely win biggest toys contest.
