Grubstake1 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looks like one of the old pavement cutters, use on road jobs. Grubstake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted September 3, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey Bob, Well I'm probably wrong, but the Utility companies have small units pretty similar in size that will fit through a normal backyard side gate. They are used to replace mini-pad transformers (pad-mounts). The new ones today are remote controled and you just drive them into peoples yard.

AZNuggetBob Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Nope sorry guys.Id like to get another one or build one from scratch. it moved dirt in patches and washes great. the way the gearing was made was very cool. three speeds forward and one in reverse. and I used to carry all my gear.Ok a clue. the only thing I built onto it was the blade and boat winch to raise and lower it.

Old Tom Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Without the working parts in it it's hard to tell just what it was used for. I'd say it could have been used for a paint sprayer on roads, a trencher, snow blower, etc. Old Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Old Tom all the original parts are still on it as far as I know.
