Right on man, love the ol B cats! They just run damn good. Drove a lowboy truck previously '78 freight shaker with a 15 double-over that the old mechanics had "tuned"...........man that thing would pull. Not put you against the back wall pull, but it just pulled and held power forever in the claterpillar rpm happy range
well then... dang good thing yer in Idaho... I might swing buy and "liberate" some parts lol... like a clean hood, maybe swap loaders with ya... (mines a clapped out grizzly... but it has a marginally longer reach so is that a win?) bet you got a lighter drop axle too lol... Getchew a handful of spare hydro hoses, you will need them, at least enough to replace everything on the stick/grapple and a couple of others, as well as a pile of fittings... they will break, and it will suck when they do.

Always good to see a video from you. Nice purchase, great name for it and can’t wait to see it working.
Nice dude! I'll be interested to see how it does for you. I've been kicking around getting a self loader for my truck running out of priest river.

Come a long ways my friend, I remember when we couldn't get something to start without ether and a secret hand shake. Good job bud!
