I have-great sound...long as it's out of someone else's ride. Wouldn't want to spill my coffee waking up with that every morning lol

 

Mine's got an air start. Here it is :

 

We used to have a 2 stroke Detroit with an air starter. Sounded great till it ran out of air and didn't start.

 

My old KW with a 8V92 used to have air start and so does this one too. I've run out of air twice in 35 years, but every tire is a spare air reservoir! Main thing is, keep up with the maintenance.

 

I chickened out today. We were dropping off a 290 excavator at a cement plant. They asked us to park it on top of the used cement pile so it was out of the way.

It had a grade of about 70 degrees. It wouldn't climb up anymore, the tracks were completely on the pile.

The pic doesn't accurately show the grade, I think I had my phone at an angle.



I tried to put the boom on the ground and help push it upwards and move the tracks at the same time but no go. When that didn't work, I tried the opposite and tried to use the boom to help pull myself forward but the cement at the top was wet.

I wasn't comfortable getting more aggressive so I gave up the controls to the other driver. He then smartly decided to put the bucket on and make the grade not so steep and build a little area to park it. At that point, I was jealous that I wasn't able to play in the dirt.

 

Hah, good stuff.

 

Manly!

 

missile crates, outdoor switchboard buildings, and plasma table. Who tarps outdoor buildings?

 

Probably the same people who tarp lumber that's stored outside.

 

Parts of a lime storage tower. Been a while since I pulled out the straps.
