stuck in the muck!

Post by krusty » Mon Nov 19, 2012 3:45 pm

I should have taken a photo but was too ashamed to admit my defeat :)

Used my little 40C to fill in a small pond full of water. Local township was dumping ditch material and I was pushing it in. Was a boggy mess but the little 40C floated on the mass without issue. About 4/5 the way through I could see a bit of slack in the track and knew I should have tightened it up but you know how it goes.....skipped a few links but still did not stop. Track slipped off turning.

Let it sit in there for a week till it dried out somewhat. Today went and jacked up one side, shoveled it out and tomorrow I will pop the pin in the track and put it back on.

Could have done to the neighbor to borrow his excavator to pull it out instead saving much time and muscle but I figure getting it out the hard way will teach me to listen to my little 40C.
