Burnt mill is 'was Fleets RX-700. We bought it for parts last year from Charlie at Mohawk

Mr Ando, I saw those mills while they were running, they weren't taken care of very well and that happening was just a matter of time.

One day over at there yard they had a 60B on the lowboy ready to take it to a job, I was giving it a look and noticed that the bearing on the drum was shot. I told them about it while I was in the office and they seemed to not care. It went to the Conduit expressway which isn't far from where I was staying in Queens NYC. Couple of days later I saw the milling pattern and a huge stain of oil on the road. Apparently it lasted about 15 minutes running and for some reason the protection shaft into the planetary held together long enough to do some damage on that side as well.

Like alot of the milling contractors that don't take care of their mills, they are gone.

Old Old School Milling Machine Pics

Here's a few pictures form our archives at Turtle Southeast.
1) 1974 Galion RP-30, 30" head no conveyor, no grade controls. Ground man directed operator up or down for depth of cut.
2)1976 CMI PR-575, 9'-3" wide cutter, rear load, extra engine mounted in front of machine to give extra boost to cutter drum hydraulic motors
3) 1979 Roconeco Sidewinder 6.5, first direct drum drive, front load mill, invented by Herb jacobs in his barn in Taylor, SC, His company was bought out by Ingersoll Rand and machines we called MT or MW 6520's. Same basic design is used on all half lane mills today.

Some City Work

We always had a problem where the train while going downhill would chase the pr1000 and push up on the hitch do they not find that happens with the hydraulic cylinders and chains they have? Maby there is just something I cannot see or there is no hills in arizona ?

 

[milling_drum]

With the system we have I have no found any problems comming down a hill, since the crusher/pugmill has air brakes and a steering set of wheels I'm sure they have some way of countering any push problems. I'll ask Rich and Steve if its ever an issue.

Theres plenty of hills in Arizona, right now these pictures are from New Mexico.

 

[bean]

We have the same on ours but the ground man sometimes forgets the brakes. We switched to a rigid bar a long time ago instead of chains so its not really an issue I was just wondering.

here is what we have done

12' 6" pr1000 drums one upcut the other down.
