Another Toy

I went and bought another toy today

I got one of these



This isn't a picture of mine, but it could be it's twin. I forgot to bring my camera with me today, so I'll have to get real pictures tomorrow.

It's a Linde-Baker H25D 5,000 pound "cushion tire" diesel forklift.


And last week on Thursday the 10th I bought this,







It's a 48' x 96" Dorsey It needs paint but doesn't have any rust issues.

I was going to buy the 99 Transcraft sitting next to it too but it must have worked in a hydrochloric acid plant or something. I saw some big paint bubbles on the frame and when I poked them with my finger my whole hand went through. Not just in one place either The owner started looking at me funny when I kept poking my fist trough the frame of his trailer.

So I let the 99 Transcraft sit with an offer of $800 on it, And I bought the older Dorsey

Just in time too. I no sooner fixed the air leaks, the lights, greased the S-Cams, adjusted the brakes, and did the federal inspection when the phone rang and I had to pick up some 50 foot beams. It would have been a PIA to try and load them on my Trail King.


Well I better hustle up some work for all these new toys. They have to pay for themselves.
