How long have you been with them? What do you do for them? I was on the route 8 job between graham rd and 303 this past summer and fall.

He's got all the old rust-belt equipment there, some I haven't seen in forty years.

I own a drott yumbo 30 yc that I used until the drive sprocket broke I couldn't find the seal retainer so there it sits. 353 detroit

I've got a 30yc but by now your friend probably got his fixed or junked

That old machinery should be more valuable as parts than scrap with scrap now being around 3 cents. I had an old front axle off a Michigan loader last year I picked up. was good all the way through. A sawmill that used the same typ laoder to move logs and load chips broke a planetary. They knew I had one and I made a quick 950 after some haggling then later they gave me 1200 for the rest of the axle. Id love the old dragline myself. He wouldnt happpen to have an old Drott30 or Yumbo 30 a friend of mine has one in a recycle yard that has a pulp grapple on it but the swing box is bad.

I own a drott yumbo 30 yc its been sitting for lack of a drive sprocket seal retainer probably way too late but I have one
