I would think Vet would be able to make good use of a shagged out mancab.

Demo day with the MT-55 revealed that nothing was ever done with the machine except a whole lot of ********. The oil leaks from the exact same spot. I am thinking that the guy just cleaned it and has either been letting somebody use it of trying to sell it to somebody else during the time he said it was in the shop. I told him I want to see the shop ticket and what they supposedly did. I just can't belive its the same leak! But it is. Either this kid is dumb as a stump, the shop REALLY sucks, or the kid is trying to ******** me.
 
Bobcat mounts the hydro motors and pumps higher and more toward the center of the unit unlike Toro where everything is as far back and low as it can be.
 
truth be known...you were a whining, snot nosed, puny little cry baby when you were little :cry: too. But I mean that in the fondest way possible.
 
Lol. Gotta get my ass moving. Busy day, estimates, dump truck, collect check, go to bank, drop tractor off at next job, etc. Gonna be a busy week of nothing but takedowns finally. Nice.

Picked up a brand new 372 (on its first chain) and a 120' of hyvee (whatever, the safety blue with orange streak) still in bag for $400 Friday. Was pretty happy with that deal too. Sometimes its the little things.
 
Wilderness? Sitting in the car waiting for the wife this afternoon at Wallymart (ugh), look over and see this group of hipsters checking each other all over- I mean 1 checking this ones hair , 2 others on their knees checking every bit of exposed skin of another....all of them wearing shorts and hiking shoes. All I can guess is they decided to go on a nice little wilderness hike down the street when one hipster finds a tick crawling on themselves on the drive back to the townhouse.........hilarious, went on for about 15 minutes.
 
Had to upright this guy today. Friend of mine was dumping fill at my place. Half the load stuck and over she went.

Just more desperate and futile simpering from me about life, loaders and longing.

The signs have been there and I have always known, its in plain black and white, it says:

Diagnose oil leak - found timing cover leaking

Remove motor to replace timing cover gasket and a ton of other crap...


... and yet the ******* thing leaks in the exact same spot!

And you would really have to sell me the opinion that the timing cover was ever off the motor.

Has this every happened to anybody else? I have to say its not the first for me though this time its not even really my business, its not my loader yet. But I can't help wonder if the repair shop IS in fact running a scam. Some scam huh? I mean, maybe they got some kid back there washing off motors and saying he fixed it?

I want to pull off the alternator so I can see just exactly where the oil is coming from but at the same time I don't. Its coming from right behind a mounting bracket, maybe the timing cover is actually cracked.

So what am I to do today? I kinda wanna just drop into that clean cold dark water I was talking about. Not jump from a cliff but let myself be slowly consumed. Slip out by slipping in. Everything to be washed away and I would have a snorkel for when people come around.

But I still have all this work to do! There is no way I am going to start spending money on a rental though. Hell, I can't even bring myself to face people right now so its not like I want to go to the wonderful ****** up rental yard where people are more miserable than me.

I guess we will go hit some hedge rows and try not to think about it. I kinda just want to run this loader for a little bit then have it taken back. I don't know if the owner would appreciate that.
