This is Alaska and shipping is quit prohibitive but if you are that interested I'll see what parts are still good on each one. I will have to clear it through family channels ? and only God knows how that's going to turn out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have learned to pick my battles and that one was not winnable. My heart still hurts but because of that I was able to convince my wife for me to get a 955 Caterpillar or three to keep me busy. 1958 955C D4 Traxcavator ^ 1957 955C D4 Traxcavator ^ 1960 955E D6 Traxcavator ^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'll never guess what happened. Let me see how short can I make this ... my bike was at a friends bike shop, for storage, and his friend wanted to fix what was unbroken. My tranny shiftier and tranny came home as a basket case. The bike has been in mothballs since. B U TTTTTTTT the friends shop went under and I happened to get all the parts new and old OEM, wall signs n stuffs and it has been rat-holed away shhhh ... don't tell the wife. She can give it away when I'm gone, give her something to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Dan 115 Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 @Dasnake "Love the beard we could do a smith bros. ad." Thanks. I like my beard too but I thought it best to shave until an all clear is called on the viral front. I usta be a volunteer fire fighter and we had to shave to make the mask seal. I just put 2 and 2 together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
