    Looks like a worthy machine to me. Now it just needs some fenders and a wet line kit.

    I've already got the fenders, the pump, and I think I have the right PTO. All I need is the tank, hoses, controls, and to get up off my lazy butt and put it all together. For now it is going to be running flatbed loads of towers for a power line into NYC and to jockey trailers under a crane for a bridge repair in North Jersey.

    And the prep work starts. So many things to go over. Not to mention giving it a good bath. It's got to be done this weekend because it's working next week. Dawn (my gf or wife or whatever) is already mad. I didn't get home until 1:30 this morning.

    My Carrier assigned it unit # 04777. I like the three sevens, I'm hoping that is lucky.
