Nice I miss doing pioneering in CA. Doosan:throwup

Doosan:throwup

Normally I would agree :throwup
but this machine has given me no reason to :throwup
Did a Doosan make you :throwup ?
If so....please, tell us all about it.

We had 420 that we got used worked good for a while, but developed a fuel issue. I know it had a cracked fuel line that we fixed, but it still didn't run right. Dealer came out and never did get it fixed 100%. Last I knew since I no longer work there was the dealer was taking it back.

There is a local rental company that has switch from linkbelts to Doosan/Terex. There mechanic was telling me they have been having issues with them, but we didn't get into what. Sorry I can't provide more info.

Is that your own loader? Haven't posted in this thread in a while..

 

[RollOver Pete]

No.
It belongs to the gentleman I do some work for.

Yes I do, a question about the bucket. Is it a special rock bucket or do all loader buckets have those strong looking ribs attached to the teeth under the skin?

 

[RollOver Pete]

That is a home made bucket. We have 4 of these floating around.
1 for a 980, 2 for the 988 and 1 for the 988B.

Looks like it got a paint job and then some. Nice.

I don't see AC though and with that closed cab the union rep is going to have a chat with someone.

 

[ben46a]

The union requires A/C? Doesn't seem to be a saftey issue.

Who would have thought......a 988 with CARB #'s

Operating engineers requires machines that were equipped with ac's to be functional.
There is also something re: the outside temp. In a nutshell, todays operators are just as soft as the new electric over hydraulic politically correct machines with enhanced fine grade settings that make even the most unskilled person look like a pro :stirthepot
That....and working in adverse conditions might ruin their i pods. :bash
Some would consider that to be a huge safety issue.
