Hi Team,
great to see part 1 and here is part 2 :-
Rome/KG Thanks for part 1. Hope we get to see some resurrection vids.
From my experience of flooded machines we worked on at the Dealer flood silt gets into most compartments that you think it could never reach--sea water adds another dimension to things especially if marine engines were hot.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

it doesn't look too bad considering all it has been thru..
-but what will actually be salvageable in the big picture...?
-still think it's worthwhile...
- i could do it with less drama...just saying..

hopefully KittyLover could do it with less desecration of the countryside too!
an interesting recovery but sad to see the land so torn up just to pull out some scrap iron.

no wonder they had fun. its tracks are seized probably from encrustation with mud. why didnt they get a high pressure hose and wash the mud out would make life easier.
also why not trailer it out of there once out of the hole lift it with a mobile crane.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
