Bye, Bye Waldon , it has been a fun three years.

One less Waldon , one step closer to moving to Va. – Bitter sweet afternoon as I saw my little Waldon pull out and head down the road out of sight. I stood there staring down the road and Deb finally came and got me and took me in the house where I sat and weeped , ha,ha,ha. Just kidding . But seriously I had so much fun with this little mini loader working in the backyard in the summer and winter. I’m sure we will drive by it’s new home once in a while and try to catch a peak at it with it’s new owner.
Waldon Number 2 – I took the forks off the Waldon and now may hook them up to fit on the 5000 . I did some grinding on the new bucket linkage this morning and
painted the welds. Then it got hot and I stopped for the day.
I will try to sell the 5000 after the weather cools off as someone might want to buy it for playing in the snow in their driveway.
It’s hard to find a 4×4 50hp mini loader for $5,000.00 in Northern Michigan that runs great with hydrostatic drive. So I’m pretty sure it will sell too. If were moving we got to thin down the toys even more.
Otsego County Fair – Tonight is the bump and run demolition derby. We don’t go to it but we can hear it from our window. The fair is less than a mile from our house.
Have a great Friday !!
