Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Very slow. The machine shop hasnt got the heads done yet, but i hoping to get them back soon. The pump and injectors got sent off bout a week ago.

Cant wait to get to it and get it goin

 

79,000 lb water pump.



Had to get a bit creative with the rear blocking. Customer decided to cut these as 2 pieces instead of just making a normal wood saddle.

 

I'll watch for ya in the AM.

 

There's a lot going on in that last picture! Sure looks "creative".

 

2 x 3/8 chains that I had initially put over the block a when they first set the pump on. They slid out a bit once they had the full weight. Wedged the small block with a piece of rubber under it then and used 2" strap to make sure it doesn't wiggle out going down the road. 3" ratchet strap wrapped all the way around the blocks to make sure they don't slide any more if the flange settles onto the piece of rubber or into the wedges.

 

You routed the same as last time i assume?

 

33 to Columbus then up to US42. 42 south to I70. 70 to IN.

Ohhhhh ok. Gotcha. I got to run back up north on 75 and thought maybe id pass you coming back down.

Well you be careful out there tomarrow...,and watch out for "the man"...he busted my balls the other week on 33
