Almost instantly when drop the scraper bowl onto the ground loaded, if empty you'll be running with apron opened exposing the cutting edge that will dig into the ground.I wonder how well they stop?
Long, long ago Flying down a haul road on a TS 24. Heap loaded with heavy wet clay. I always turned sideways in the seat and run both throttles with my left foot. The old scrapers had no lock blocks or check valves. As hard as it would run in 4th, and blowed a hoist hose. That pig stopped in a measured 17 inches. Ribs got the steering wheel and left leg the steering column. And a head to waist bath in hot hydraulic. Ahh, good times ! Man, we're havin fun now !!!Stop good... just drop the bowl.... tends to make a divot though....
That misinformation happen frequently; ruin cone crusher gears, 'oh we checked the oil'...yep when the unit was new!Tore into another rotary today. Preventative job. Checking ring gear bolts etc. They use dowels from the drive lug plate to the ring gear. Mofo's to get apart. Lots of heat and some custom made wedges (started life as 201 dirt teeth).
I snapped a few pics when I started but in all the commotion I didn't get anymore. It was crazy with two guys beating wedges in and me on the giant oxy/fuel weed burner trying not to scorch them!
Isn't it funny how stuff breaks loose about quitin time no matter when you start!
