umodelnut Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Alright, so this morning Papa drained the tank on the drivers side, trust me, it took more than them two cans. Then Papa got everything ready for paint, and I primed a few things for paint. Then while I screwed around duck taping broken stuff on the inside of the dump truck, Papa got all them things painted. Then a little while ago, Papa and I pulled the tank off. It wasnt too heavy. I ran dump truck all day yesterday, runnin stumps, and sand, while Papa just loaded me up with the backhoe. Be runnin dump tomarrow too, I'll have Papa take pictures of me maybe. I just hope the old dump starts tomarrow, you never know with that thing. I got one more picture to post.

JumperAndSon Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Wow! You guys are doing a great job! I can't wait to see it done. I bet running the dump truck is fun. I love hauling stuff around the yard with the yard truck. Especially now that I've fixed the window so it goes down. It was hot with the driver's window stuck up.Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
