Seriously.
We have a tenant that moved out and left this thing in our barn. It's been a while and after we check with the lawyer it may become our abandoned property. I have not seen it yet, I assume it's not full size with 7 foot tires, would not fit in the barn, but my bro says it looks to be in decent working order.

If it needs some work let me know. I know a hydraulics mechanic (works for one of the largest hydraulic repair companies in NH). He is usually pretty willing to work for trade so if an NEA member has time or something to trade he would probably work on it for cost of parts. If it was a cash deal I know he is very fair.

Hey, I thought I had exclusive rights to excavator recovery!
Pics & more info would be good; transporting it might be interesting due to weight etc

Yeah since he traded her in for a newer and smaller model...he'll probably need something to give him that full size feel again. You'll have to paint one side green though to match Sunshine.
Throw in some dents here and there for cosmetics.

Hey are you trying to say Sunshine is heavy equipment? It's not her fault she's big boned.
And for the record, I still have her, she's not going anywhere. I'll rebuild her as a long term project. She will wheel again.

Get a house, a wife, and a few kids. That long term project will become a really LOOOONG term project.

That only happens if you don't pick the right girl.
And I am SOOOO all set with kids. I'll stick to being the fun uncle that gets the kids all hopped up on Hershey's miniatures and Mt. Dew then send them home.

What about trading this for a more useful piece of equipment?

I thought it was a glandular problem? You see that 80 something on NEOW with the rocks? That's what you should be aiming for..... incase anyone ever has to drag Kazu around.
