Case 310g rescue

[plastikosmd]

Free case 310 dozer. Sitting for 25 yrs, sunken into dirt floor, falling down barn in the woods. Cut our way in, used the crane to drag it out. Jump pack and a shot of ether and we drove it up and out and onto trailer. Owner, who gave it away, said he hadnt seen it run since he was 9. He is 35. 1100 hrs with working meter. Parked the hydraulics didn’t leak down after 48 hrs. Time to add batteries, change fluids etc. looks like it will be a fun addition

Extra unused standard bucket to boot tho I like the 4:1
The crane truck w liftgate was handy, I just got it on the road. (That was last months good deal)

Excellent score - nice to see some old iron being brought back to life. That side of the roof looked solid; at least it had air cover all those years....

Somehow, I have trouble envisioning today's equipment sitting for 26 years and "firing right up"
