New pickup
 

Hey guys,
Just picked up this Gannon Earthcavator, I have been wanting one for awile now and finally found one close, it was converted to a cat o but I will convert it to a sleeve hitch, here's a pic.

Very nice pickup, good luck with it. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Thanks:beerchug:

Nice pickup.I see it is a GMC not sure what that metal thing is in the bed?

Thanks!:biggrin2:

Yup, nice bed liner on the new pickup.

:biggrin2:

Looks good Nick. :beerchug:That tree ever going to stop dropping? Best hope it don't go dormant on you.:bigthink:

Thanks Todd, it does, I sold a few things to make room for new.:biggrin2::beerchug:

Great find Nick! What size is it?

Thanks Todd, I think it is the smallest one they made, so 36in maybe?

Nice find, Nick! Send it down here, so I can try it behind the 982. :beerchug:

Looks good Nick! Congrats on the Gannon!:beerchug:

Thanks guys, Allen, send up the 982 and I'll let you know how it works.:biggrin2::beerchug:

It would look good behind the 982. :biggrin2:

It sure would!

Good find there Nick!:beerchug:

Thanks Terry

Update: yesterday I cut the brinly triangle frame off and cleaned everything up and painted the frame, I won't be needing it, more updates to come.

Hey guys,
Just another update: today I got most of the metal back I needed to convert the Gannon to a sleeve hitch mount including the handle already made up so I drilled the holes in it and installed it, I think it looks great, next is to remove it again and prime it, more updates to come.:beerchug:

The steel for the Gannon.

The Earthcavator is a fun attachment to use:

Yes I agree, nice earthcavator Dale!

Thanks
My Earthcavator is the 42 inch version. It has the Cub Cadet hitch on it.

PM me if you need any measurements for your hitch.

Thanks for the offer Dale, I'll PM you if I need any measurements.:beerchug:

And if any of you Gannon owners need ripper teeth, these people have them.

Thanks for the info Todd, good to know.

Keep up the good work, Nick.

Thanks Allen, will do.

Got the handle primed and also drilled the holes in the bottom extensions that connect to the lower hitch bracket.

The bottom extensions

What are you doin Nick, stealing it piece by piece?:biggrin2:

Good one Todd, but nope, building it piece by piece.:biggrin2:

Looking good, Nick.

Thanks Allen, got the primed handle reinstalled, had to drill the holes in the bottom extensions out to 35/64 because the correct pins I have to install the Gannon wouldn't fit the 1/2 holes for some reason, also the holes were slightly off, plenty of wiggle room now, should be getting it all welded together soon.

what everyone else has uttered.
We need more pics of whatcha doin!

Milk,an udder delight!

Here's the handle all primed.

Looking good Nick!!!

Thanks Steve!

What color you painting that handle?
Hey, it's late, get off the interweb and get to bed.:biggrin2: Sorry Nick, had to cause I never seen you here this time of night... :bigthink:
