I'd take the Berco off your hands if you decide to go that route.

They do come up forsale about once a year

I've been watching for one. There's quite a few for sale locally with some at pretty reasonable prices, but there has only been a couple with the right drive set up. They're from other brand tractors so I'd have to fab a mule mount for my 448.

Interesting machine. No safety switches on this one

Yikes! Wouldn't want to be near that if the chain ever broke...

Could not ask for a more beautiful sunny day to work on rusty old d100. Some disassembly happening

Sunday funday. Out playing in the snow.

I hate when that happens!

This is my service truck so on the flatbed it goes on the way to the shop for tires.

Oh no, sorry to see that! Good thing nothing worse happened. Hopefully you only have to replace the one tire.

Yup, that sux... I got a flat last week in my Tacoma - first time in years and years... didn't see some debris on the highway, felt a little bump, heard something bounce around under the truck... said - you ran over something big... aren't you going to stop and check your tires... I said "I'm sure it will be ok...

Switched the dash over so I could see the TPMS info and watched one tire going down fast... We only had 10 miles to get home, but had to stop at 3 gas stations to put more air in the tire (It took less than 10 min to loose 30 psi) and the gas stations are charging $2 for air - Cost me $6 in air to get home... nothing worse than sitting in traffic or at a stop light watching the tire pressure go down and down and down... Made it home ok. But used up a weeks worth of adrenaline watching tire pressure on the dash....

Good news was it was a clean 3/8" hole in the centre of the tread - local tire shop did a proper dismount, plug and patch from the inside - been working good ever since
