Steelworker for THE largest steel producer in North America USX aka US Steel. But that's neither here nor there. I need some help. A few days ago a fellow from Montgomery Alabama had a Bud Nosen P51 for sale. We agreed to make the deal at joe nall and now I can't locate his phone # . I have transportation all set up and of course the money is there also. We just need to connect. Any help ?
He pulled his ad so fast after talking with me I didn't write down the particulars. Maybe RCU could Help ?

Thanks Capt. Dan

Heavy equipment operator if its got tires or tracks i can pretty much run it.   I'm  trying to get into cranes the closest i seem to get to the seat is with a wrench or a grease gun most time or to warm them up in the morning, sometime the operators let me get a litte stick time though
