Had to play in mud yesterday. Drove to a jobsite in Sevierville where we have a Komatsu CD60R on rent. Guy said all hydraulics work except drive and there's a bunch of oil on the ground under the machine. What I found was the loader operator can't hit a dump bed. Had been dumping dirt and rocks on cab, air filter housing, and engine cover. The material had fallen down to the center rotary joint where a rock lodged against a fitting on the swivel. When they rotated the machine, snapped off the fitting. Gather up some cardboard so I didn't have to wallow in hyd oil on the ground to get 'em fixed up. Job boss said he was going to get on his loader operator for missing the bed. I told him all he has to do is tell him if he keeps loading the cab, he's going to see a picture of a CD60R on his paycheck.
