    WOW! Will they let you borrow the big dump truck for the weekend and fill it with wood? Wonder how many cords that would hold?

    I'd probably have to work on it before the weekend was over. Our operators aren't known for good driving skills. But one things for sure I'd have the road to myself when they seen me coming.

    Big iron
    I bet that shuttle buggy is worse than the paver to wrench on. Not from experience but imagining the 2 conveyors and what ever the re mixer looks like and I imagine it's hard to clean up well at the end of the day compared to the paver.
    Hat's off to you. :thumbs:

    If the operator's wash down everything at end of day I'd rather work on the buggy. Pavers suck. Luckily I'm on the dirt stuff more than asphalt.

    That's more like it Warner. Tomorrow the rock hammer is getting the liquid wrench put to it. The insert in the bottom end where the bit goes won't come out.

    I guess the bright side is when you accidentally drop a nut or bolt, it's friggin easy to find. :rofl: :lol:
    No searching around for a little 1/4-20 × 3/4 bolt on that one! :thumbs:
