Ol’ SARGE aka BIG RED thread
Flyin6:
Kyle,
You're going to see a "great expansion" on this area. Starting with this "Big Red Thread" I will be introducing a whole new area where we will build a survival site. Using a selected area, we will go from a remote site all the way to a place you can live off grid. Everyone can share and keep up with what is going on there and discuss ideas for a good off grid home.
Moving on, let's get back to this initial installment on Big Red

Right away we found the Chassis was cracked in several places. The proper repair for this is to cut out the crack with a carbon rod, then weld the area back up with the proper welding rod. Richard, the Case master mechanic did that as you see here:

He also found several bolts missing and parts of the undercarriage worn out. One roller wheel had failed, so next we replaced all that
Flyin6:
The oil change was occurring at the same time and since I wanted to insure this thing would last me all of my remaining days, I opted for Amsoil. That engine holds 4 gallons of the stuff!
