3,860 Pounds Later. . .

Based on the "operating weight" listed in the manual, I have removed about 3,860 pounds of parts. All that remains is about 100+ pounds of bare frame. If you look back to my first post in April, the OC-3 came into the garage for a change of fluids and some basic maintenance.

Well, six months later we are down to the frame. It wasn't the original plan, but in it will save me years of constant fixing and in the end I think I'll be happy with the final product. The garage will be cleaned up and readied for winter. I'll also be able work on one manageable piece of the crawler at a time in the heated comfort of my garage over the winter. Spring time should be a time of reassembly and painting.
