G'day Guy's,
             Well I hit 60 early this month and just left 5K in my super and with that only allowed to work 10 hours a week for get this a month. The Cheese factory has asked for me back when they find a new owner on 4 on 4 off and it is a great place to work.

So finally registered with GraysOnline and had a look and came away with this




Now also looked at this mini Kobolt excavator I did win the final bid but it came under the reserve. So the next day got a call and as my final bid was 8.95K got asked for a higher bid so went 9.5K, got a call back and 9.55K was the response so this came home.




Only 166 hours on the clock built in 2023 and spent most of this year in a auction house due to one reason a oil leak.

So took one side of the floor to find one flare nut loose on the distribution block so basically got a brandnew mini backhoe.

Also the attachments are still brandnew




So I can finally sort out the drainage problem of when it rains the roads wash away and the best part I can teach my daughter how to learn to use a backhoe.

Ordered a heap of stuff and soon the parts will be here for the mad board, the fets turned up from LSCS and got the HY5608W ones that says they are 180 amps so I'll use 24 of them on the mad board.

Cheers Bryan
