Nice! I see you have fork extensions for your tractor bucket. I have a set for my BX-23. Don't use often but love them when I use them.

Those forks do help but with them so far out the leverage negates any real lifting power. That load of differentials is fairly close to the limit, I can still lift them but very little traction on the back tires without ballast in the back. My ballast weight finally fell apart after 15 years so I need to build a new one. And maneuvering with the load so far out in front of the steering wheels can make things really interesting in tight quarters. It has been raining now solid, and I mean SOLID, for two days so I am not going to be able to unload much of anything until the ground dries out some now. I know a lot of you are drooling over some of this stuff but I have got to get it all inside and cataloged before I can list it. Once that is done I will be putting it on the for sale forum. This here is just a preview of some of what I got and the unloading process.

Well, It finally stopped raining but my entire yard is a mud bog so no tractor use. I moved the RV so I could access the trailer from the hard packed side of the driveway but apparently it is not so hard packed since the RV was parked there as you can see from the tracks left by the RV. You can see what I started with and where I am at now. I can tell you one thing, this man is an expert at putting 50 lbs. of crap in a 10 lb. container!! Man was it packed in there tight. All the important stuff is out and what is left needs the tractor and that is not happening til things dry out some.

Paperwork that "was" in a folder, that is the yellow thing up top. Picture that the side where all that paperwork is down there has to come off and it is windy and I am by myself. I should have filmed that ballet but did not lose one piece and none got wet.

What is the inside condition of the gas tanks? They clean?

You need a load of clay gravel and some chat to support all those treasures. :lol:

I have put stone and also crushed concrete in that area twice. That hole with the water in it has been filled several times. Somewhere in China is a stone mountain growing. If this wasn't NJ I would swear I had an impending sinkhole.

What year are those Suzuki rear ends. Hard to believe a Japanese rear end is almost the same thing. (no copyright rules ) ?

I thought of a french drain/of digging a trench, put a pvc pipe in it to drain the water away, but you being a man indefinite solutions/experience my solutions are probably too primitive LOL

There are no Suzuki rear ends, Just the locker for the Suzuki. The locker is modified to fit the mutt rear and I now own the copywrites on all of the drawings. Same with the disc brakes.

Maybe Jimmy Hoffa is under there and maybe the lid on his grave has finally caved in.

That is semi- doable but two things stop me from doing it. #1 is the fact that I have very little slope in my property and I would be at bare minimum drop on the line and #2 is the fact that the line would have to go through the roots of the three trees I have along the front of my property which would most like kill the trees. This part of NJ is very sandy and all that water will drain through in a couple days.

Pretty sure Jimmy was used as test material for an industrial rotary wood chipper and he used very little space for a grave. :roll: :lol: :lol:
