just cleaning up the shop from working on the D6 9U known as THE HOOD. since i'm getting old (tell by the size of my bald spot, LOL) i decided to mark the tools so i don't loose them, nobody is going to steal them, LOL
of course i used the mig welder and didn't get fancy because i was rushed for time with driving the kids to judo and such. yes i know i'm whipped like pudding, LOL

King, reading in the other thread that Jeff D decided to pass on that D7 because he learned it needs a final drive rebuilt, my honest to goodness first thought was. "I bet KoO could take his welder and just whip one up..."

yes those old cats can get expensive, if you restore them to working condition, they are only worth less then 1/2 of the money you put in to it not including your wage. plus once you get it all fixed up, nobody will hire you because you are too old of equipment.
it was a good move on walkin away from that d7.
