In a way I think it was a shame that they scrapped the drill rig part. But they were more interested in seeing if the truck could be salvaged. I know I have wrote somewhere on this site about that project but not sure how to find the posts right off.
Up to a few years back I would see those types of drills working around here drilling private wells. See them at the same place for days on end. Back when I built this house, mid 70's, hired an outfit to put in the well. Around 7:00 am he stopped by at the quarry and we went down to the property and showed him where to well needed to be. About two hours latter he was back at the quarry. Well was done, about 150 feet with all but fifteen of it in solid limestone.
