    Travel time

    I am an operator, but sometimes I get roped into driving the lowboy if they don't have a driver available. Obviously, they pay me if I haul a machine. But for this thread let's look at it from the operator's standpoint. The company itself is local to me, their main shop is half an hour away, so...

    Travel time

    I was wondering if any of you who have to travel to work get paid for travel time or compensated in some other way. The company I work for doesn't have a policy, as such, seems to be more of a hit or miss deal- ie., if it takes an entire day to get from the shop to the site they will pay you for...

    Homemade sprocket liners for my Allis Chalmers HD9

    Wish I would have known that, wouldn't have messed around with the pipe if I knew you guys were still around. Used to see your ads in Rock and Dirt but haven't seen any for awhile. What would the cost be for a set of liners for an HD9 or something similar?

    Some more vids of the old D6

    Things are slowing down at work a little so now I've got some time to make the odd post or two. I put the tilt cylinder on the old 6, here's a thread about it from awhile back https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?7538-tilt-cylinder-for-my-D6-9U&highlight=

    Could REALLY use some input on a Cat D6-9U dozer...........PLEASE and THANK YOU!!!

    I have a later model oil clutch D6 9U, and it's one of the toughest machines Cat ever built. Here's an old thread on it https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?5174-old-pony-start-D6&highlight= , and if you go to my youtube channel there are some vids of it there pushing...

    Bucyrus Erie 325

    Cummins 903 and fiberglass body ALong with it there in the scrap pile is a real nice 666 Koehring, an IH 175B with 4 in 1 bucket, a TD15B with brand new UC, and a decent-looking 955K. What a shame.

    Bucyrus Erie 325

    This is (was?) sitting in the scrapyard the other day. I almost bought this machine years ago, it was sitting next to my 983 when I bought it.
