Komatsu 575A Monster Blade

The day we stopped at this Coal mine we got to see dozens of monster machines lined up everywhere. It was a Sunday afternoon so everything was quiet . I had never seen a monster dozer like this before and they had two of them. I was told they were going to be on The Discovery Channel showing the two dozers driving towards each other with a house in between them to see how close they could get the two blades to each other when they were done squeezing what would be left of the house.
Thanks again John for a great afternoon .
Steiner 60 in mower deck and hydraulic bucket gone !! A fellow showed up today and I just sat them in the back of his pickup with the Waldon and within 20 minutes he was on his way.
JD snowblower – Today I got the new carb in the mail for the walkbehind snowblower so now i have all the parts to get it running like new again and I will put it on Craiglist again next week. It has less than 10 hours on it and even though I drained the gas tank four years ago the moisure got inside and rusted the carb pretty bad.
Waldon Loader- I got the new parts installed on the carb and the new air cleaner system done and mounted.
Also put a new choke cable on it and now I am making a new throttle cable .
Christmas Shopping 67% completed .
Rain for Sunday and 50% chance of a tornado south of us and Monday back to winter and snow for Gaylord.
