Here is the next cool picture of the monster Michigan 675 Loader. Deb took this picture of Russ and I as he was telling me some of the history of this mighty old machine. It was almost like it had a personality of it’s own. People often nickname their machines and the name sticks to the machine for it’s whole life.
If you go to the video section and go to ( monster machines ) you will see the video Deb just added to the video section. It is the longest video so far , but I wanted it to all be hooked together from the time I climbed the first ladder to the top to the end when I was driving Deb’s car out from under it .
As I climbed all over the machine , I noticed all the bolts, pins, boxes, housings, etc. that I will be cutting out in the near future for the very detailed model of it. It’s much more than just a machine to me, it’s a future work of art that will transform on my workbench. It’s hours and weeks of a labor of love slowly seeing a miniature monster machine start to appear from a pile of flat pieces of steel and a little wire welder.
We have a lot more pictures to add of the Michigan 675 loader .
The picture below shows me in the drivers seat and tells all our visit yesterday with Russ, who owns it and how much it is for sale for. Hope you all like the video, you may want to get a bag of popcorn as it is longer than any other of my videos. ha,ha.
