Bob,
Din't think of a tow truck, maybe i'll use one with the monster lathe that
is going to follow
the monster Bridgeport after my wife gets over the trauma. I'm getting a
rough terrian forklift, which the guy says is a backhoe turned around
backwards.
The lawn is rock hard, the ability of the forklift to burrow is simply
amazing. I
drove the 4wd truck with hydraulic lift gate on it to try to rescue the
forklift, and
it didn't leave a mark.

I wanted to get one of those boom lifts and put the BP directly in the
basement, but the
rental guy thought it might be too big to manuver in the back yard, and
since they
have to dig it out when I get it stuck in the tree, I'm taking their advice.

The rental guys came and picked up the forklift, weren't too happy about
digging
it out. It didn't really take them that long though. I switched rental
places, the first
set were just too unhappy to do their jobs without malice, and I thought the
buried forklift might
give them enough reason that they may wish to take revenge.

As far as your problems cleaning out the factory goes, I think I resemble
that remark.
:)

Oh, yeah, how do I tell if the BP takes 30 taper or 40 taper tooling?
