 Topic: Little trip on the D19
Posted: 07 Oct 2020 at 11:07am |
My grandfather and I purchased a D19 last year at an auction and it's been sitting under my carport ever since. We ended up having to reweld a spot on each frame rail that had cracked at some point with a previous owner.
Earlier this week I drove the D19 out to the farm from my house, about 5.5 miles.
Last checks before getting on the road
On the road, cruising without any issues.
Finally got this orange beast under cover until the time comes for her to get to work.

Couple more pictures located over at my website.
I recently stepped back from my professional career of software development to start helping my grandfather on his farm and rental properties. He's been dealing with kidney cancer and I've decided it's time to get out there and taking more responsibility.
Hopefully document some good memories of the man that raised me.

Just to follow up, I made my first post on my blog with some actually text.
We have a D15 Series 2 that is a pleasure to drive, even though the power director is stuck in high.
Some pictures to share:
