    I dunno about that...
    At least that's drive on/off and you don't have to deal with an old codger who yells at everybody and didn't wanna follow directions...until I told him to "Put it down and unrig it, you're goin home!"
    He looked at me dumbfounded, so I told him "You can yell at your guys all day long, I don't appreciate it, but I don't care. You yell at me once, that's your one & final warning, then you go home. I don't work for you. I don't work for Transfer Yard company, I work for myself, and the customer that bought this thing, even He know better than to yell at me. Now you can shut up & follow the directions I give you, or you can go home."
    He wisely followed directions. His guys told me nobody has ever chastised him in front of his men before, they couldn't stop giggling.
    I'd rather drive on/off...I hate ###hats

    I can't imagine what a struggle it was to load the 475 with NO tracks! This 257 was tough with 1!!

    We split this one right in half to replace the swing bearing. What a job that was. Took a good month to do it. 4100BOSS

    Komatsu 5500 we helped strip down. Ended up getting shipped to a coal mine in Hinton, AB. Hard to see but Mammoet is backing one of their big beds under it.

    The only things you need to fix a shovel are: 600 and 700 Komatsu loaders, a 20lb sledge and an 18 inch adjustable wrench. I'm only half joking there lol

    @truckdad I wish we could have met up for a coffee or something. You win! I've loaded dead dozers and some other junk, but I ain't man enough to load a one tracked machine, and I admit it...

    This is the no track loading secret...but he forgot more than I know, so we don't need to tell him.

    That explains why I'm always so dam dirty!
