Thanks CM, looks like things are going well for you too. Hey AZ, what part of the state are you working in? A lot of your pics look like your in the Fountain Hill area. For the last 3 years I spend most of my time loading trucks in huge borrow pit at a landfill harvesting general fill and clay... -
A little Ca work
It’s been a minute, sorry, things have been busy. Still at it with the 350, it’s a bit of a love hate relationship. Spent a fair amount of time at the Oroville Dam spillway, during the quote crisis stage. Sold a house and built another. The nature of my work has changed a bit due to a change in... -

The job for me it is usually anywhere from 3 weeks to a month this time was 3 weeks of 5/10s. I would call the water mostly fresh to a bit brackish all the fish are fresh water although its common to have a seal or two hanging around to feast on what we kick up. Its always one of my favorite... -

A little Ca work
It seem like every year at least one stray boat shows up, I always offer free hull inspections. It gets a bit steeper and sketchier as we finish up as that rock is pretty slick. Then its pull the head gates and gather the signs. -

Cat 314 track adjuster out of alignment-- what is likely the cause/
I don't know why, I did mainly clearing and demo. But that was 2 in 25.000hrs so I was ok with it, the breaks were on opposite sides. I don't think its any thing to be worried about.- ddigger

Cat 314 track adjuster out of alignment-- what is likely the cause/
That is different than my 330 was, but I still say something on the end of the shaft is broken. When that happened to mine I released the tension once with the bucket and once by crowding against a stump. Where caution is really necessary is on reassembly. Good luck.- ddigger

Cat 314 track adjuster out of alignment-- what is likely the cause/
There is a big nut that is broke off the end of shaft so nothing is depressing the spring. Look at the other side and you should see the difference.- ddigger

A little Ca work
At one of the sites I was tasked with getting an old D8 that had not moved in about 20 yrs on a low bed, wasn't to bad once I got the tracks to free up so it would roll. https://youtu.be/uW5pHbX5zoA -
A little Ca work
Thanks glad to be Back. Yeah the JD burns just about twice what the cat did. I guess those 86 extra. horses gotta eat to. I was also involved in some clean up hazard trees after one of the fires last year. I needed a little more reach for some of it. -
A little Ca work
It's dual purpose, they wanted to make sure no water migrated either way. The machine is doing really well. Spent a good part of the year swinging a 60 inch bucket and it handles it no sweat even stacked with heavy clay. It is thirsty though. -
A little Ca work
I haven't posted in while, because I have been very busy plus my favorite photo sharing site went away. If sharing pics from my phone works I will try to catch up. After the dam demo I hooked up with an outfit that specializes in land fill work. The first chore was installing a big French drain... -
