    Line Boring Systems

    Most of my work is very remote and as long as it is in the line of work aqmd does not say much. I have not seen Les T. in years. I do know of a few york setups around. They do the job and in some places work better than pass through bars. It all depends on the job at hand.

    D6T C9 valve set

    In the case of the engine I was on the follower turned side ways and damaged the lobe on the cam. The mechanic before me had removed the head and replace the follower. So when the follower failed again it worn more of the lobe away. So as the lobe was worn away that is where you get the fine metal.

    Service truck crane. Curb side vs street side? Knuckleboom vs stiff boom ?

    I have used and owned each type of boom. As stated earlier there are advantages to both. I miss the knuckle when doing under gear work. It makes rail placement very easy. I installed radios on both booms so as to work alone.

    For turning Compost. Wheel Loader or Excavator?

    Delmer is correct as far as I know. I have a couple of customer that do composting and they have windrow turners. The small one has a 15ft. head with a auger screw to turn. But they have windrows about 1/4 mile long.
