That shovel didn't do much good trying to get out of that Arkansas clay. It took a friend with a backhoe to dig me out. It wasn't easy cleaning off all that mud either. Buried it was.

Well, to Lavoy's earlier post on the topic, it looks like you got it in up to the armrests at least on one side. I'd say it qualifies.

On a related note, if it had been me, I'd still be cleaning up the seat.

I didn't see what Lavoy said.. where can I see that and what does it qualify it as? Yah, it was up to the arm rest on that left side allright. It didn't get there in a hurry either. The more I tried to get her out, the deeper it sank. Just a few weeks before I took that picture, I dug a 6 foot deep trench right there to put in some geo-thermal pipes, and should have never run parallel with it.
And on that same related note, it never GOT to the seat, it did however take some time to clean it out of my pants.

About half way down the Show & Tell page from your post you'll see where Tigerhaze stuck his 2010 and the comments.

You just made my day. If Lavoy blesses it .. I'm a happy crawler guy. Probably won't be the last time I get her stuck either.

Boy, that makes my situation look pretty tame!

The one problem I had was that I had the right side steering clutch casing sit in water for over a week. The plug below the housing is missing (Drain bolt or brake band bolt?), so I had a little bit of clutch sticking for the first week or two after I got it unstuck. Hopefully you don't have that problem.

Since that picture was taken, the right steering clutch froze up, found out that this unit was fitted with pre 42000 sprockets which means I have the 1-9/16" bushings which are like hens teeth to find and neither of the track adjusters are working. I have torn down the clutch and put in all new parts. The pins and bushings are shot and my local guy gave me a price to re-pin and bushing for $50 short of buying a new set of rails. So I bought a new set of rails with 1-3/4" bushings. I found a set of sprockets from a post 42000 unit in upstate NY and just took posession of them yesterday along with the hydraulic adjusters. I am nearly back on dirt...

Congratulations on finding post-42,000 sprockets! I was not so lucky; I think I might know where you got them and I did not have success getting a response back on them a year ago.
