Slope build ?

Hello 637slayer,

On that job most backslopes were bench cuts, because of silt soils and narrow ROW .

Believe it or not in that country there is somebody that owns property. And the Feds would not buy:Banghead enough ROW for shallower slopes. Lower 48 rules !! :mad: Just cost more to build bench cuts . What fools ! LOL

Anyway that is Bureaucracy ! LOL They control the pursue strings and design.

I'll try and show you later how major cut slopes are done.

Hicks Creek job

Hi John,

AIC has the Hicks Creek job, it's east of Sutton.

Just about every contractor has had their turn on the Glenn over the years.

That 3rd pic in the first set of pics, there looks like what appears to be a large pipe sticking out in the back, is that the coupling system?

I just flew back in from the slope last night, as of yesterday most the B-70's up there are still in AIC or AFC's yards...

Bolster Pin

Hello Bobcat ron,

That is the bolster pin just like a freight sled or farm wagon. Goose neck drops down on it.

Like King pin on a truck and trailer for another way to say it.

Painted tires ?

Bigben2004,

The trailer tires are painted with slash marks , so drivers can look in the mirrors, and see if the wheels are turning or brakes froze up, and skidding. Trick for Cold Weather Operations. :)

Much like the scraper tires are painted with slash marks for the Foreman to see if Operator is spinning tires.

Haven't been by there in awhile so I'm not sure what he has on site, but like Northart said he might have some leads for you if you looking. On a site note, I did just see one yesterday in North Pole at one of the welding shops having some work done to the trailer.

Northart, again thanks, awesome shots of fantastic machines, small enough to actually make a contractor money, but not so big that they are impossible to find or own.
Does anyone know if this tractor was set up with a scraper, been looking through my Euc stuff tonight, was it an SS-24, SS-28 or SS-40?

Thanks, Graham
