M819 Setting Rings (Pics)

[No.2Diesel]

Hi,

We've been so busy with the crane all year that we can't put it down yet for its big refurb/repower. Every week there's either personal project or a job to be done that requires its' presence.

Here are some pics of it helping set baby 4'x4' drywell rings. In this scenario the mini-excavator was to wimpy to pick up and place em' without keeling over.

And no post would be complete without some pics of a Praying Mantis showing off it's natural shades of lusterless green & brown. (Soon after it flew to a nearby tree and dive bombed my a$$ as I was walking in & out of the barn. ) Enjoy!

Why no pictures of the nifty Scamp that the mantis landed on?

I think we've established SS is a very pro-Mopar website...

I would have to agree. It seems MVs and MoPars go together quite well.

Its all stock with the leaning tower of power under the hood. Nothing exciting. I have no pics of the entire car. I'll have to dig out some old ones to scan.

Yep, appears to be more of a FORD leaning site....

I don't remember seeing any Ford or GM threads like this one.....

Ouch, that hurts. Guess I'm leaning the other way, maybe towards Clinto.

yes they both seem to be equally maint heavy, fuel efficient and in a constant state of restoration.

Uh oh....I wouldn't say that if I were you

"Yeah cuz' ya know.....those GM cylinder heads with rocker arm studs are so much stronger than shafts. Who uses shafts anyway?"

I took my M-819 out today and recovered the back end off of a 1/2 ton command car. Not the best back end. I am just going to give it to a guy who has a front end. Tom @ Snake River

I can see my next truck needs to be a wrecker.

I don't know about Ford, Mopar, or GM but it sure is a Kaiser friendly site
