It\'s Here!!!!

Well she finally arrived today /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif What a sight to see the shiny new L39 backing into the driveway. It is so clean and perfect, regardless of the fact that the rear work lights, tool box, and front hydraulics are missing. Hopefully the dealer will install them along with the bucket chain hooks next week when the rain lets up a bit. I'm really looking forward to finally being able to break-in a machine correctly without undue stress or wear and tear.

Yes, a nice clean and easy first 50 - 100 hours is what this machine deserves and shall receive.

Here's a picture of the delivery guy taking her off the flatbed....

Well....so much for a nice clean and easy first 100 hours. I had it up to its axels in suction muck within the first 2 hours /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

This was a bad scene.....I didn't know what to do and I was STUCK....completely BURIED in mud that my shovel bounced off from all the roots and dense turf. I finally figured out how to control the transmission and pull the machine with the stick at the same time. While the wheels were spinning in reverse I was able to reach waaay out and muscle it back up onto "dry land". I was pretty happy when it started to move on its own accord. This first project consumed the better part of the afternoon. Excellent bonding time.

Re: It\'s Here!!!!

AHHH! She's out of the mud hole and up on all threes for its first bath. I must have used 1000 gallons of water trying to get all the mud out of the undercarriage and the wheels. I don't think I'll ever get it all out, but that's OK. It's made to work and today was it's first day in training. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
