The only steel we bought was for the Tow bar, and most of that we had out back in the shed, bought to repair the I.H.706.Small pieces we had underneath the work bench. I seen where the gentleman bought the unit and when he looked at it, wasn't near as bad (need for his usage) and will be brought back again. GOOD FOR HIM.I'M still waiting for the fellow to come look at our receipts. Lots of dis=believers on here.If he shows up, that would make him a nosy nib chit.lol. I will State again for the record, hadn't it been for Jde Marris, we would have been up the creek for valued information. Jde has the expert advice plus he backs up with information he supplies. on questions he answers. Any way folks, I'm happy for the fellow who ignored the RUN DON'T WALK AWAY SYNDROME.MHO.inclosed LOU. [Reply]   [No Email]

I'll see if I can find the posts. I know I thought it was very interesting. [Reply]  [No Email]

Lots of hours in dis-assembling, cleaning washing and painting and re- adssembling.All this information (pix)and all is on the Archives. What got to me was the stupidity of Dave asking what we had in cost to repair . He states that if I disclosed what we paid out in parts that would help someone else decide whether to undertake such a venture,and see if it would be worth their while. He doesn't get the fact that ALL Equiptment has different problems and no two are identical in nature, PLUS THe fact It's none of his business what we spent.The archives are available to see what we done to rebuild the O.C.46 which by the way was WELLORTH THE TIME SPENT AS WELL AS THE FUNDS > LOU.
