Installed a Thumb

[wrenchbender]

100 Komatsu needed a thumb and actually it was in a very clean spot. No mud, a new thumb and brackets a real pleasure to weld on. This is not the ordinary conditions I work in. Took a few pics

Hey, no can do I wouldn't let the Smith stay on the rig but the Victor is always on there. They're both very good sets and I have no clomplaints on either. The Smith is probly as old as I am and the Victor maybe 40 years old. They both have real glass lens on the regs if that tells ya anything about the age on'em. But at least now if the Smith ever gives trouble I know who to contact. How long does the warranty cover the Smith anyway? Should be good for at least 50 or so years lol I know it ran out last week darnit!
