Excavator Finale:14 Months, 24 Videos: Panel Fabrication & Tree Smash!
Published at : 23 Dec 2025
It's been a long road to get here, but this is the final repair that I have planned for Large Marge! It's hard to believe, honestly. I am still planning on painting, but that doesn't really count as a repair in my book. That's just putting lipstick on her... I'm also still considering a hydraulic thumb, but I don't expect I will be doing that anytime soon. In this video I rebuild the rusted out battery tray, and then fabricate a new side access panel that has been missing since I bought the machine. Then we go remove a big tree, ripping the 6 ft wide stump out of the ground quite easily. Nice work, Margie!
