Last week should go fine not sure what imma do as I'm taking my tools out of the truck today or tomorrow and putting them into my truck that should be sitting at the house Monday nite , I only have one little twist of the knife left in me but I have to email Benefits side of the company and see if the 70 hrs vaca time im showing as a balance is fully vested so I can cash or out or not . Ok on too your question I have a miller engine drive trailblazer 325 gasoline on the truck and a mig capable miller 12rc suitcase. I have only run 2 wires I it to date Lincoln 71m dualshield in 1/16 and some lincoln .045 hardfacing flux core wire that I open arced . I coulda used the the shop wire welder but whats the fun in that .

70 hours, holey crap! That's a chunk of change. My neighbor has a 12rc that runs real nice... my LN25 has been glitchy after running around the 300 amp range lately, it has the contactor and I am pretty sure I have been staying below the 60% duty cycle so not sure what the deal is (current will drop off almost like it's derating?).
I really like the dual shield wire (makes me look like I know what I'm doing), but haven't run any hard facing wire yet.
Regards, Bob

3126 and it runs pretty nice. Just needs a steering shaft ordered I didn't like. Walking the steering wheel back and forth on the way home

 

[Junkyard]

Not a bad looking ride at all. I've got a 12RC and a 12VS. Had the RC first when I had the airpak. When it went back to Miller I had no use for it until I got the XMT for the shop. I am welder POOR! Haha.

Good luck man hope it's all good and you get a far check for your vacation time!

Oh, that's always nice when you don't have to fight for it.

How's your luck with 3126s over there? Around here they and the C7 are a four letter word.

You know they have there certain problems like cam follower gaskets. Oil cooler gaskets .injector cups, and the occasional heui system catastrophic failure but personally I have good luck with them . My service truck at work now is an untouched c7 with 19k hours on it just has a couple minor leaks

I kind of wonder if it is not our terrain out here, it seems you are either going up or down a 7% or 15% or even 30% grade and the wimpy little engine is straining its guts out. And maybe poor drivers forget to shift and let it overspeed on them. I don't know what the territory is like where you are but that is just a theory I have had. I know I visited Missouri and the Ozark "mountains" are what we would call a meadow around here. Just a thought.

Could be it isn't flat here but the hills are little short ones some are steep but you aren't on them long

 

[walkerv]

Last day at work played with the morbark 4600 for a couple hrs triing a few things and training the fill in guy on what to look at as far as wear parts and what to do when and how often . Was a crash course in grinder maintenance for sure . If he stays with the company I have my doubts I know I will get a phone call or 2 on it which is fine when they decide to grind wood again .

Aw, come on birken, we've got some hills here, you just weren't in the right spot.

I will say that we don't have near the super long grades that you find out west, but we've got some short steep ones.

This hill is on the same ridge that my shop is on, about a mile away from my shop. It's about the same grade that my shop hill is at, my shop hill road has two spots in it that are a little steeper than this one, and my hill has curves in it, this one is a straight shot. My shop hill isn't posted for grade, and if you can't quite make out the sign, it says 19% grade for this road. And it isn't the steepest road I go up and down, it's just the only one around that's marked.

 

[hvy 1ton]

Missouri doesn't believe in cut and fill road construction. You don't gain much in elevation, but every hill is straight up one side and straight down the other. My high school buddy is heavily involved in historic cars and some how got roped in to a project to drive a Model T from NYC to LA. He had more trouble with grades in MO than anywhere else along the trip.

I feel like have rearranged everything 5 times . Still have one more tool box to unload thankfully not much in it just specialty stuff
