    Sorry to hear about you and your girl splitting up.

    Congratulations on all the new business. That backhoe depending on how complete it is, will bring in some good cash.

    I was in a relationship like that. Thought things were great, and then out of no where, I get a call and that was it. But the way I see things, is that everything (good and bad) all happen for a reason really.

    Perhaps this was God's way of saying there is someone better for you.

    Take some pics of it if you can.

    Good going Cory. Way to shrug it off and keep on keeping on!

    I had to read that last post twice! I thought I seen a L in backhoe,and was thinking, no he didn't just post that. But then I put on my reading glasses.

    If it was meant to be she will return, if not plenty of fish out there buddy!

    Good luck.

    thanks guys my buddy said he would bring me the computers so thats great he said probably this weekend. not a backhoe after all, people really dont know whats what sometimes. its a little crawler loader john deere 440 gas model. internet shows it weighs only 5850, doing it on the half so we will get a little over 300. il take it cars are slow right now.

    That's the easiest way, man that's a whole lot of iron there. You know it's got a copper radiator.

    Corycouch. Parts of that JD track loader could be worth a lot more than scrap value. Some heavy equipment shop might be interested in buying it whole, either to repair or part out. You might save a lot of time cutting it up and make more cash. Just a thought, might be worth checking out.

    thanks, the john deere place here went out of business a couple years back, i will call CAT in the morning just before we head out. the closest heavy equipment salvage yards are in memphis an hour in the opposite direction. to be honest i wish i could keep it , but it would take more time and money than i could afford
