[QUOTE="Mikefromcny, post: 80298, member: 6488"] Thought I'd post a few pictures of my winter projects. I found them all on craigslist in a months period of time. Pretty rare as they were all a deal in my opinion since there are plenty of $5000 610's and $8000 743's. Hopefully they come out right as I can't make paragraphs with my safari browser. The 753 has 1900 hours and was landscaper owned. Needs a few little things fixed and could use some paint.
