Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I've always thought that a crane would be nice to have and this one came up for sale for $75. Can I borrow one of your guys' trailers?

What would you pick up with it?

Well, if that Case 680E doesn't get fixed a big crane's the only way to load it onto a huge trailer to take it to the scrap yard I guess.

I know that feeling @Eugen and I can sympathize with you 100%

I thought somebody around here had a 680 parts unit forsale but I couldn't find the listing on CL. I did see a 680 already in parts in reading PA. Bit of a road trip lol.

Bending them evenly is the trick...

Operator misuse or did something fall on the cylinders? I tried Google image search but the only hit was behind LinkedIn's login wall

I don't know Matt, but the power of hydraulics is what I think can do something like that.

This is what I'm dealing with now

Reminds me of when our youngest son was still here. He was cleaning out his car and beat the mats against the tree out front when all of a sudden we heard squealing and saw him running across the yard flailing his arms around . It was quite the sight . Needless to say he found out the hard way that there was a basket ball sized nest up in the tree we did not know about and they did not like him beating on the tree .
