Oh man, what a sweet ride.

Or at least, what a hunk of heavy machinery. 14,000 pounds of steel, oil, diesel and hydraulic fluid.

The hydraulics leak like a sieve, the bushings at just about every pivot point are shot, the seat is completely ruined, the hour meter has never worked (at least that’s what the neighbor said when I asked him about it), and the front loader bucket is bent in the middle.

Isn’t it purdy though?
