Blue, sideways-looking track machine

(Blueberry picker) Has about a 40hp Yanmar engine, hydraulic driven rubber tracks, straddles the rows and beats the berries off. Tore one track off the other day to fix a bogie wheel and found the front and top rollers were bad also. The top one, I could care less about, but that big front one is pretty important and has to have new bearings before it moves again. Japanese track assemblies with Ukranian iron and bearings, but that's nothing that a bunch of hard welding rod and TRW bearings can't fix. Just wish it would give me a little more warning. Parts should be in tomorrow so we should be back to work the day after ( if I have any energy left ).
Dean, the Old Lady says to say hi, and you can come get your berries anytime!

Sounds like a neat machine. Sure would like to see a pic of it in action.
