It's sitting there idling and rattling, then "tink!" and I notice something drop to the ground. The hydraulic pump broke. He's a funny guy. He's looking at the part saying, "it's been rattling like that for years. Why did it have to break now? Look, you can see it wore because the bolt was missing". Uh yeah? The good thing is the dealer had some parts and ordered the rest

You and me both. I think we need a museum thread in the meantime. I keep hearing about more and more.

That place must be amazing.

More from the local show. We have several shows like this around the region. Last picture is the Barnes Bros and a son running the rock crusher
