HeavyGunner Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That looks like a lot of fun, if I was closer I would definitely go.

BAD DOG Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 About 3hrs around the lake for me. I'll keep it in mind. Bet my dad would like to go too,he cut his teeth on alot of that kinda stuff, but he's never went and got his Passport to come over, so my brothers and friends and I been going to event in the US for a few years without him now. I'll be going to Sealmaster in Sandusky inthe next couple of weeks to pick up a truck I left there last week. Too bad we could'nt postpone that trip till then and have a mini vacation 30 miles south of home. Is the annual HCEA show in Bowling Green this year?

Mike Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I see Larry's B Model in the background. It just amazes me that these kinds of events are out their some place. I think this is great. Only concern is how rare these machines are and in hopes of getting the parts to keep them running. I'd like to see this kind of events in my area of the country. Just wonder if there is enough interest down here?Keep up the good work.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24400-an-invitation/#findComment-113602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sampat Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 if you look at the 2 pueuclid green machine on the pad there a loader and a push dozer the loader is 1 of 2 prototypes and the push dozer is 1 of 1 prototypes needlees to say we dont work them much incase something brakes. most other machines we can make parts or shoehorn something to work curently working on a few cranes a 26 northwest and 29 korehing probably one in a very few left serviving or maybe the last but thats why we try to keep them Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24400-an-invitation/#findComment-113607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
