Komatsu PC-8000-6 Excavator – Looks like it will be a excavator instead of a front shovel for the next mining model project.
To-do List- Today I cut off the bolts with the torch and removed the 11 year old cutting blade off the tractor plow and drilled the holes in the 5″x1/2″ plate steel for the new blade. I also got the whole plow and wings painted. Then I finished painting the Snowblower black parts, painted the bucket and the forks . Then I worked on the wiring on Waldon #2 . It has not wanted to start this summer so I am going through every wire and cleaning everything to eliminate that as being the problem. Most of the connections look pretty rusty. Deb and I walked this morning and enjoyed the fall colors.
Now I am over half way on the to-do list and it feels great already knowing how much I am getting done before the cold weather hits . I had 45 things listed when I started the beginning of this week. It looked overwhelming but is now looking good to me.
Have a great Thurs.
