Did some plowing with it. worked great after I put on a set of serrated cutting edge. Plowed 2 trailer parks and the local post office to cut down the ice buildup.
Lights are done and 90% of the wireing is done. still need to do a little painting.
It has 2 leaking seals on rams, left lift ram and side shift ram but nothing I can't live with for now. Drip drip. maybe 1/2 cup after parked for a week between the 2. Seat is installed and sets nice.(found it out of an old suv.) insulation in the cab is also comming along. @ 10 degrees the heater will keep you warm.
The 471 needs a new govenor. But I havn't had time to look for one yet.
I did find the mirriors I want to put on it. Now all I have to do is talk the local tour co. out of a pair.
There is a AW in northern CA. that was built the same year. Low hours and has blade tilt which I would love to put on mine. it is for sale but I can see spending the money for the whole grader minis the transmition plus freight to get it up here just for the blade tilt.
I have more pictures to post but it will be a while as I am busy doing spring cleanup.
The work I have already done with it has been more then I have invested which is always a plus.
