[AT] New toy

[Cecil Bearden]

Hopefully it will drive home.  I heard from a friend that it drove in 
there.  I didn't believe I would get it for the price I gave, but no one 
wants one due to the liability and ambulance chasing lawyers.  It will 
do what I need for sure, and If later I can trade it for a telehandler, 
all the better.  I have a 20 ton P&H mobile that a tree grew up through 
the boom.  I used it to set the trusses on my house, and to unload some 
trailers for a few years, then I put a 5 gallon bucket over the exhause 
of the crane engine and during the winter, the muffler rusted off and 
stuck the engine.   The same thing happened to my TL14D Allis 2 yard 
loader.  I was going to repair it until the head gasket set went to $400 
due to the asbestos ban....
