Yea, Moose...
About that picture.
I was planning on getting it for ya on Sunday, but things weren't really going my way. It was starting to rain, the excavator wasn't there to play with, I got the triaxle stuck, and neither the dozer nor the man-lift wanted to work for me.
I was a bit too frustrated to be thinking about pictures of Jim's butt. Sorry.

Speaking of dozers Pete, looks like I will be getting one pretty soon.
Wonder if ya ever seen one like it, its a JD MC, from late 40's early fifties.
It was my uncles and apparantly my grandpas and they both had used it, my uncle was actually using it the day he passed away.
No one wants to see it go out of the family, and its pretty rare, and i always did like it, so its coming out to my farm.

I don't know what model Deere dozer it is, but the dairy farm I worked at had an old TD8 and an old Deere dozer.
The Deere looks remarkably similar to a Deere MC. Not 100% sure what it is other than Deere though.

They had some, I think they were 402, or 420 40c, something like that, that was pretty close to the mc.
Im kinda happy im getting it, but I sure wish it was under better circumstances. I do love the classic johnny sounds!

Yea. Like I said I'm not 100% sure what it is other than I know for sure it's a Deere. They really get that thing
flying when they're using it to push up silage.
Jim: I found out why I couldn't get that dang dozer to start. It uses a microswitch on the throttle to turn the
fuel pump on and off. The microswitch broke (AGAIN!) so we're back to using a piece of copper wire to tie the two
electrical connectors together to turn the fuel pump on. That's the extent of my electrical knowledge.
And you can tell J-L that she ran a 5.9 Cummins. That's what the loader has in it. Beast of an engine it is.
