What would we do without our baby diggers? ;) You win the award for Most Creative.!!:)

Great find and nice presentation. It's really nice when you start digging and expect to find it broken,But it's all in one piece after all these years!

The L12 hyd ext tube is 41 mm x 190 mm, as near as I can tell. I check the AGT website daily, and I will post here when they are available again.
