New generator. 17,000lbs. Was told I could set right beside it, so I took the 40 ton. Jobsite trip= 45' radius= making one of my guys go get the 90ton to set it.
Bought some new chains and binders, I don't know where all the chains and binders go, but they seem to grow legs and walk away. Also in the corner you can see my junkyard purchases of a hyd. pump and PTO box. Setting up pto on the mack titan.
Trusses and trusses in the trees.

That RT crane is a little smaller than the 30 ton P&H truck crane that installed the spinning coaster. I'm sure they reinforced the floor from underneath with jack stands in a similar way. I'm curious how much the dismantling cost.
A little bit further right of your pic. is the dented H beam support marked RIP for when a rider was killed and others seriously injured when the cars came off the track. A couple years ago there were pics. in the paper of where my former boss, who was an ironworker on the Mindbender, wrote a love note to his wife and kids. I think a pic. of the RIP on the dent would have been more interesting. I think the owners should have been forced into bankruptcy. Only a bunch of absolute morons wouldn't think to translate the maintenance manual from German to English!! Unbelievable is an understatement!!!

it was translated I believe, but was translated poorly, same thing happened over 40 years later in mexico. on a clone of the ride called "quimera". this video explains it quite well.

Engine oil leaks at rear, between block and flywheel housing.
Have a used housing found, have to find my rear main seal installing tool.
Housing has seen better days.

Bolts weren't overly tight. I would guess it was moving. 4-5 years ago we did rear main, and it had broken bolts in it then., It had two broken bolts in it now.

Thanks Tyler, we got one picked up from our engine parts guy on Friday. I appreciate the offer.
It uses a gasket where the pan meets it, but there is no gasket available for where it bolts to the block. I think we are just going to permatex gasket maker on it.
If in not misstaken loctite 2892 is whats called for. Permatex probably has a cross

What's down over that hill? Well there's a crane down there and a bunch of boxes.
Semi's with the boxes got unloaded a mile away. Straight trucks making a loop bringing the boxes down the hill. I didn't think they would get them all set in a day, but they did.

Spicer 4 speed has a bad shift knob and needed some seals in the rebuilt gearbox.
No availability from spicer / tremec on the knob seals. Well, actually available just not for 90-120 days.
Kind of stared at the knob, and its the same knob the mack 12 speeds, just different labels. Thought maybe the mack man would be able to save us.
mack dealer parts guy said "we don't really deal with any manual transmissions anymore"....
Fleet pride man came through with some extra part #'s, and I actually found a reseal kit from weller's. So that's the solution for the air shifter.
This is what the old mack one's look like, and its the same as the spicer.

The guys whipped out this one the other day. Tight spot and no headroom. Its a dehumidifier for a indoor pool room . There's a 4' concrete wall, so it kind of dropped down into that room.

Two days moving conexes this week. 12 on one job and 7 on a different job.
Hauled most of them on the pete and rollback trailer, so between that and the concrete box job, spent 1/2 my week driving truck.

It’s great that a lot of us (especially you) have become really good at locating parts because more and more places are saying things like…
"we don't really deal with any manual transmissions anymore"....
The fact that they say that makes me laugh, they may not but a lot of people do….

In a lot of ways, the Internet has made it much easier to locate parts, because there's a much wider area, that you can search.
But somehow you still need to come up with a part number. And unfortunately when companies change hands, a lot of times the old numbering system goes out the window, and your looking for updated/ superceded numbers. That's when it gets fun.
