Is almost as the Higher education level removes the artistic side.
my first move would be pull the pan fill the rad. pressurize it and then with a good drop light go under check both inside and out of all liners for dripsThey say the tadano's are a really nice machine. I'm sure I'm not their buyer, but its nice to look at new iron.
On the old iron front.... '98 Western Star that I pull my lowboy with is putting antifreeze in the pan. (60 series detroit 12.7) Liner, head, water pump, or air compressor. My regular detroit man is three weeks out. He recommended someone else, and did mention that its likely the head cracked in his experience. I haven't even pulled the pan to see where its coming from.
One of the guys went to start it the other day, oil was just on high part of the line, but water was low. Added antifreeze and started up truck, by the time it built up air and he had the snow shoveled off, the low water light was on. He then pulled the dipstick again, and it was all milky on the oil. Pulled the pete under the trailer and got the crane delivered, but I'm going to have to do something. If I pull the head, I wonder if its worth it to just inframe while I'm there.
Unless its just the water pump, which would begreat, as long as it didn't damage a bearing.
How much longer do you want run the WS?
I saw this was a Liebherr and thought of you.........
That was impressive!
I just set the 4,000 pound cab back on some AWD ex military rig (I think it was used for tank recovery, 6 axles, tires 6' tall ) after some engine work, that is currently being used for towing some big cranes the last couple miles to a wind farm site, or so I was told.
I imagine the carrier is equipped with a powershift and a torque converter. It was probably quite unspectacular.would have liked to have seen the take off after stopping on that grade
A 1200 according to the operator's web site. Apparently they are a specialist outfit dedicated to wind turbine assembly.Looks like its either a 700 or 1200 ton by axle count.
