Bobcat M-371.......warning to dial-up users. pics inside.
« on: February 16, 2011, 09:54:12 PM »
This project was purchased in December for $200.  I went through it pretty good replacing and rebuilding everything I could.  Total invested when finished....$1500.  Since it's done, I may not recall everything, but the main things were....engine replaced, new fuel tank, cylinders rebuilt, new tires, new battery and wiring, new seat, drive chains and clutches adjusted, lot's of sandblasting and paint.  I think I came out pretty good.  This thing will fit in the bed of a full size truck and go through a 36" door with a smaller bucket (it has a quick attach).

Some pics....I have more but I'll just post the basics for now.

Lucky,lucky man for sure. Looks great.

but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Looks great Boost.  You did a good job on that thing.  Are you selling it or do you plan to put it to use?






I did see something else that I had some questions about.  8)

I plan to keep it unless somebody shows up with deep enough pockets.  I've already got a standing offer of $2500 cash for it.  That's about half way there.

Yeah, it's about 8 years in the making.  Progress is so slow I have to dust it and wire brush it first before I can work on it.  I keep it close though just in case. ;D  I have a mill and lathe now so progress may pick up, but it's a little ways down the list of priorities.  I've posted pics of it before, I may even have a thread started.
