I also didn't see any evidence of there ever having been a single chain to secure the load on the trailer.
I was given a Kubota KH 190 excavator because the guy's driver didn't bother to chain the machine down.
He said I'm only going a half mile when I asked him about chaining it down. The old gentleman who owned it is a close personal friend of mine, who I have been welding and repairing his equipment since 1980. Gave me the excavator after it fell off the trailer and broke the final drive on 1 side. He said I deserved to have it to cut up for scrap or do anything I wanted to with it because in his mind it was too old and wore out to be worth repairing. He had also given me my Ford 750 Backhoe and my schramm pneumatractor
Somehow I think we're going to be seeing repair videos coming up.
