Hi Steve, thanks for the s/n information. I will check
out those locations which might be later this week. I
know the shovel was not the company you menchen but I
did not write it down. I will note the company when I
check on the serial number. It still had all of the
data plates on the Shovel I just did not think to note
the name of the company maker. Yours looks a lot
bigger than the one that is on my truck.
