Believe me.. I was DEVASTATED when the loader rolled, and buckled under the pressure
Just gutted. But, one the things you guys couldn't see - is that the loader cab had already been broken before I purchased it, and glued back together. That old plastic is so brittle.. its like peanut brittle. Snaps when you sneeze. And for a loader like that "not to be used" - well, some would think thats a crime. So, I use it! But believe me.. I was sad as well. I invested a lot of money in that rig - and to see the plastic so weak was disappointing. BUT! I make lemonade out of lemons.. and I continue to use it! I'm not too bothered by the cab being gone now.. in fact, I kind of like the new look. I will be replacing the cab with a Bruder cab - but I will keep them to be interchangeable. There's just something appealing to me about having a "jungle loader". More than likely - my construction company will continue to grow in models.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, really awesome
It's nice to be among some great builders here. I have a lot to learn
