Working next door for Vulcan
sweet, at least you are working. i was talking to dan, the pit b.a. and he said pits are DEAD.
John H is our BA for this one. Yes the pits are dead, and it is not getting better. It is going to be a LONG WINTER, as you probably know.
brother, i PRAY for snow. i have a great plowing gig. no snow, no dough.
Pardon my ignorance but what is up with the D10? It looks like something like maybe the ripper is being serviced, how is that a boo boo? Thanks
The trans went boom!
Must admit I decided the ripper had got torn off, looks like something snapped on the lower half of the mountings :beatsme
blown trans.
Most mechanics around here do it with the ripper assembly still on, just pull the hoses, and the control valve, then pull the trans out. A lot of extra work to pull the ripper, but if work is slow, it is some more job security for them.
The Factory tooling is a frame and nice set of sliding wheels. Couldn't have made it easier if they tried! Only prob. you need the ripper box on to slide it on!
It is a lot of extra work pulling the ripper, but machine is getting moved, and the ripper has to come off to move it.
Wow. I would have a hard time adapting. Out here, we just load and go, full dress. Most we ever have to do is take off the end bits for width reasons.
lol JDOFMEMI i often see D6h/r getting stripped down for haulage, gotta love Qld Transport
Jerry, Moving a D8 is quite a task, not to say a 627 is bigger. That is about all the big stuff around here. The D10 in the picture is one of a hand full that are on permanent sites.
I take it that is due to weight while moving. In which case what else do you have to remove. Not sure what they do in UK, height would be more a prob than weight as I think it would be classed as indivisible load once the blade was off. I seem to recall that the D10 originally had removable track frames for ease of transport, is that still the case ( sorry C@t )
