RFCDrum Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Don't take it literal. More tongue and cheek. As I was saying you have to be a special person with a shop and the will and resources for some of this iron. If I had a shop to put something in the corner to work on I would do it.

umodelnut Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Maisano PavingIMG_0846.JPGThat is a nice older DM. I like the old tall air cleaner top on the newer air cleaner. Is it leaking hydraulics or diesel or something??? That huge puddle and I noticed a couple 5 gallon pales underneath her.

That huge puddle and I noticed a couple 5 gallon pales underneath her.The body was up yesterday so i think its hydraulic oil.
