Odd 843

[Mikefromcny]

I got a little excited when I saw the ad...until I opened it. Kinda want a 843 for the bigger jobs, not sure what happened to this one. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/grd/3280518655.html Its about an hour north of me. Someone might want to save the pics as the ad could be taken down at anytime. Anyone else ever see one?

It does look odd and the price sounds like a deal. Now that I can post pictures I thought I'd put these on for you Mike. Hope it works.

I just learned to post pictures today. Sorry about the 3rd picture. I guess you can't enlarge small pictures as the 3rd one was originally 50px by 104px and I increased it to 340px by 304px.

looks like they extended the back door for counterweight, they also put the 843 decals on the wrong side.

I want to know what they mean by perkins converison. Those had perkins or iszuze (one day I learn how to spell that) so what did they jam in it? I would stay far away from that thing. Also it's balance has to be terrible without anything on the front.

Perhaps had to extend it to fit in whatever the "Perkins conversion" is. I would also stay away.

I have an 843 with an Isuzu diesel and its a nice machine. But my 843 does not look like that. Maybe they put a V8 car engine in there and the thing now has several hundred horsepower. Seems like a lot of work for I am not sure what.

In regards to the weird 843, I stopped at a friends house who lives near that 843..he went to look at it. Still has a perkins in it but the guy didnt know anything about the machine otherwise. Hmmm...
