    !!STOP Beveling DIP with a cut-off saw immediately!!

    Yea, good to get that formally expressed by an authority. OJT these days is not what it used to be related to the safety conditioning that has people automatically examining what they are doing to find dangerous aspects and make their own rules that do not model or create hazardous...

    starting case 1150

    willie59 has a good technique. I remember a water trap and petcock at the tank on an older 1150, newer just had a drain. There was a plate over the tranny level that had a small door with a bolt that held it shut over the rippers, left side. Check that. In a couple of years fuel and water...

    1988 Cat 953 - Caterpillar. My First Track Loader

    I think he's trying to cascade a patch into an erosion on the lake side of the dam where materials are being deposited in water. Clay is used to build dams or patch leaks, it looks to be you are trying to lean material against a near vertical that is partially submerged in order to prevent...

    What is it? crane?

    My take on that proposal is that the boom does not have the needed reach. Running the thing on a pier is not going to work either. Some suggested a pipe layer. Decent call . . . but, no counter weight. Another suggested a yard crane. Now this bears some consideration. That would be a...

    short cuts kill

    Yea, equipment an operating it. I looked around for some discussion on drainage and couldn't find much. Got one? If not, I'd suggest a drainage forum because over 1/2 the operators don't seem to know how to get it working and prevent destructive erosion. There are lots of ways to do it...

    This is private property. If someone does not like what I'm posting, they have the lawful right to throw me out. There is no free speech on .com. But I stand for the constitution, and property rights are granted there. My point is I support the law of the land that provides the right. I do...

    Thanks for the heads up digger242j:-) A point of law is that the right to private property limiting my expression here is guaranteed by the constitution, I defend that law.

    National safety and tractor safety(?:-)) Sounds like you knew him. Sorry for your loss. Too bad there wasn't a group of experienced operators involved, he might have listened. I couldn't figure out where else to post this than the safety forum. This looks like the right thread. Hope...
