Christmas in June!

Post by Lavoy » Sun Jun 03, 2012 5:16 pm

Trucker just called, and my two new 440's are coming tomorrow afternoon. Just like a kid on Christmas, can't wait to see what I got! :lol:

Congrats!
Post pics when you can.
I believe the 440C is the next big collector, it is easy to haul, does the work of a larger one with the right operator, and parts are still available.

Yeah, I am interested to see what they look like up close. One is a diesel power 6 way, the other a gas with a 602.

Very nice Lavoy.
Where were you able to snag these up from?
You planning to keep them or restore and sell?

One came off of a mountain in CO, the other from TX. If I don't keep the diesel, it will likely be going to a long time family friend that asked me to find him one. The gas will be for sale once it is repaired and any necessary work done.
They are supposed to be here shortly, trucker got delayed yesterday, so they didn't show up.
