They seen to be very reliable. They just leak. But it's 60 years old, so I can't be too hard on it.

No so lucky mechanic.

Getting there!

That old girl is hard to kill. Maybe I was lucky but never had a Perkins or a CAV to not be at least functional even after many thousands of hours.

I think I have Stockholm Syndrome from working on it so much.

Plus it's in every movie...

That's how you know it has fuel in it.

I'd like this content machine to go home honestly.

It's blending in nicely with my rusty junk.

I think the EPA in the US has a minimum spill size that has to be reported. I should see size puddle that measures.

I didn't recognize it.

It'll be worth it!

It's part of a meat grinder. A serious meat grinder.

Very lucky customer!

Mint !

I feel that this backhoe is deserving of being called Samuel L. Jackson..... because it's one bad MF.

A British version, and it leaks? Shocking! That pump looks like my BSA 441.

All it needs now is the Cherry Bomb sticker to go with that muffler

10 points to Griffendor for the teaser.

Good to see some success, to see a project move on to its next pending bit of "content" :)

Eric Corse

Well done. What is that substantial motor next to your desk.

Your puddle measurement criteria would make for a nice graphic. Puddle with X dimension for diameter. If X has grown more than 2" in 24hrs, refer to section BCPLT (British Component Petroleum Leakage Troubleshooting). Otherwise sounds great for being at 6k hours. No runaway either, hooray!

Can a Backhoe be "done"? Yes. Had a yellow deer that looked all shiny and new. Mind, it was like that because it would break before even getting dirty. . . .
