The project before the 7 project

[andrew7]

A couple of years before my BEC7 got built we were going to do some sewer digging(it never happened). We decided to build a mini backhoe and for future uses like building a house. Yesterday the gas crews were doing safety checks where dad was mig welding and found leakage enough to shut off the gas. So the digger was pulled out for landscaping and ditching today. Rain in the afternoon stopped us for a while.

Clever design .. you can move the wheels to the front of the digger for transporting to another location.
