Yeah, my little mule!
I stuck a 200tdi in it and a high ratio transfer box - it goes like f**k now!

Nice storage boxes on the back wall too

 

[Gunners]

What is that in the background? A light weight?

I want to see what Ford tractor he's got lurking to the right!

Funny how we all like having a nose in other peoples sheds

Good job the spare isn't the same as the other tyres, you'd never see over it

I've got a full set of 5 Firestone SATs on the original rims (as per the spare) - they are horrible on the road tbh, but obviously make the lightweight look more original.
I chucked the wide tyres on it for a bit of a laugh as I had them sitting around, but I quite like the look so they are staying on for now!

Congratulations @CPS

The pipes look like there mounted about 2 inches to far down the dipper it doesn't sound much but it would loose a lot of the tightness from the bend and it looks like there slack going round the end of the dipper

So 55 hours in and all good, plenty of power. Managed to put a small scratch on the counterweight so that's that out of the way, although won't be in a rush to put many more on. Not really being doing anything too exciting, a few trenches for drainage and services, currently digging out the driveways for hard standing to get out of the mud on the couple of new builds

Didn't realise I did it, but as you have said a few times better to get it out of the way and take the worry out of it

Doing better than me, I’ve got no paint left to scratch off

To be fair my doosan is still doing good for the paint, except for the roll bar joint.

Do they do a single bolt hole mounting version?

They are going to be back out soon as the hose that hydraquip fitted has worn down to the braids within 50 hours
