Sorry that blackmail won't work, Jane likes machines as much as I do, I recently acquired a John Deer 755 Track loader that needs the engine reinstalled She asked how are you going to move it into your shop so we can work on it. I said I don't know just yet I don't think my Fork lift can lift 35,000 lbs without some big counter weights. As it turns out I didn't tell her that I have another one coming soon that weighs 40,000 lbs, but this one runs. it is big enough to push the dead one around. Maybe once both machines are running I can teach her how to drive one of them then she and I can have loader wars
