Naah, that's no O&G, they don't paint high-vis stripes correctly!
They paint just vertical lines. I always wondered why they did that (probably because its easier) - all ATHS. truck guys know that you do it close to 60 degrees with bottom closing.
Here check this site (the best site on the net for old trucks)

These guys know how to do it.:p

Those guys are all a LOT bigger than me!
I am just an own/op with a few pieces.

Hey was that you guys doing the bridge at the exit 29 on Sawmill, couple years ago?

Neil D: well all us lads on the firm like the 8080 as its zero swing, i had a track motor hose go last summer, the fitters had to take the exhaust manifold, belly plate, the whole back weight off and a whole afternoon just to replace the hose. So service wise is crap. Also we have had problems with the computer, it sometimes comes up with random warning buzzers! But apart from that, its nice to drive, what my boss enjoys about it that it shares the same pins as our 3cx, so breakers, buckets can be swapped etc. Didnt relaise case were same as js range? yep i aggree, 3cx is best jcb to get, though the most popular is surely the js 130, there are hundreds of the things about, i must of operated at least 8 different ones now!

bill5362: yeh we do alot of mech work to the machines aswell, the 8080 had new bushes, new quick hitch and pins in the dipper boom, and new tracks. Our js130 got new quick hitch aswell, and new bushes. The CAT 320d had has its tail weight resprayed, it got hired out to a farmer, he trashed it! Komatsu got full repray and valentino rossi stickers as the operator is a big bike fan!

started new job on mon, very muddy, and wet, at a cider factory making adjustments to the orchard waste dams.
