Wabco scrapers at work
This thread has been quiet for a while... I am currently building a dam in Central NSW, using two 222G's. It's the first job since buying them, having some teething troubles but have shifted 50,000 ccm so far, 65,000 ccm to go. -

....and finally, sorry for the chain posting, new pc meant I lost all my email notifications of posts here, does anyone know of a good (or even bad...) 222H for sale? I have a gap in my capability, and since all the 252's here now belong to Stan, 222H is about all that is left. 222G's have a... -

Hi coolwhip. I still run two of the Wabco 101G's. They come with cable control, not solenoid originally, and I have never had an issue with them if the spools are clicked properly onto position. They can get out of adjustment, and twice now I have lost reverse, but only if the cable was... -

New Dam wall Guessed at 60,000 m3, only clay that looks like it will seal is a small bit of dark red clay in the old dam bed, using it to build a clay core 1 scraper width - rest is dust and shale, turning to pure shale as we get deeper. -

Back at work ... Haven't posted for a while, been busy - floated out of where you saw me broken down Ray C, just packed the spline with hand-ground key steel pieces and metal filler and machined a nut to carry the plate end more securely, then built the pad and dam we were there to do. Now... -

Thanks guys. It was great to meet Ray C for a day, hope home is suiting you Ray! I like your idea Rob Z, I will give the key way idea a go, it is much easier than spline rebuilding, esp internals. -

Broken axle....my wallet is still aching - maybe cost $15k to fix, lost $35k of work. Here is a sight to make your testicles clench up next to your adam's apple... -
