I spoke with Rick this morning. No dice on the cores. He came under the same pressures i did and dumped 90% of his stock. Realestate is so insane here. It makes it almost impossible to run a business out of a rental yard. Constant turnover.
He is always finding more gear. When he gets something...
I know where a couple of trucks are.. but seems like they are pretty much the usual runners with no brakes, or no reverse or both. Ill ask Rick at Milspec Hydraulics if he has any spares he can let go.
Here,s a few pics to get started. My back was too tired to lift the hoods this evening and i was losing the light. More tomorrow of the engine bay if i can.
While we're talking about it.. what i could use is for someone to point me to some TM's for it so im not flying totally blind.
That would be super helpfull.
The cool part is..the big buda and the little bolens both have sched 40 exhaust😁 a perfect match. Im trying to resize a video of the buda running but im not winning. Will keep trying.
Its a federal F-55-AF im pretty sure federal only had the contract for 2 or 3 years.
Has a buda LO-525 gas engine and pretty much inlimited torque. 4wd 4wheel steer. Itll be getting some new 1600-20 xzl's once things calm down a bit.
It only has a driveshaft park brake and our place has some...
Its been by my tuck and trailer with multiple loads, straight crane trucks, a pair of tandem steer crane truck tractors with step decks a few loads and three 40' high cube containers so full i couldnt slide another piece of paper in.
I have what i swear to the creator is the last load on my...
I've been wanting seven 1400-20 Nato NDT's for a while now. Vrakking tire in europe has piles but unless you can shell out for a 20' sea can full its a no go.
Hello friends. Sorry ive been caught up and not posting the last few months. Moving the shop is almost done..Ive been able to save all the important stuff but man there was a lot more than i remembered piling up. Hopefully ill be back up and able to do something under cover by the end of...
Inveremere is up here in Canada. If he posts up a pic of what he needs maybe i can find something at one of the hydraulics houses for him..maybe even in shhtainlessh...
I spoke to my buddy Roy and he says he will be up for this. He is just finnishing building a garage at his new place so in a month or 2 he should be good to go.
No rush, PM me and let me know what the Fedex bill is and i'll arrange to cover it. I really appreciate it.
Hopefully we can get together in the spring when things slow down a bit and the weather is a little better.
No Worries Sir! Life is busy, especially around Festivus. I go back to jail (work) starting Saturday the 7th for real. I've just been coasting doing my 40h/week but we will have 4 vessels dry continuously on a rotating schedule till the end of march. I have to take Feb 5th off for my dad's 80th...
Sure, sounds good. If lpcoating has access to a 3d scanner and conversion to .dwg or .dfx that would put it way ahead. Roy can definately give us an estimate based on that.
For my program i will need the transmission jack shaft we used to keep the environmental hazzard in Rusty's trans for the...
Happy holidays folks. And well.. If someone has a cone in good condition or can send me detailed drawings of what you need in a replacement cone..I have a very good friend with a cnc workstation who does custom one offs for my projects. Aluminum is a great material for custom because the feed...
Hey Duane, I need some stuff brought up from Mexico. ......could you......uh.......make a call for me......? I'm just kidding but when I get a chance to go South again, I'm going to load up with MV gear and mention your name.
Don't worry brother. I've got you covered. If I fly, even...
Thats great, I'm glad you guys made it home safe and sound. And thanks for the kind words. It was really nice to meet the both of you.
Its too bad the weather was so chunky, i couldve given you the full tire kicker tour. As for the border..i have to appologise..i know better than that, you cant...
Thats beautiful. I'm about an hour north of you. I have it's dirty/evil twin in my yard. If you decide to let it go send me a pm. I'm sure we can work something out..just dont tell my wife.:sneaky:
