Cmark's random photo thread

Can commend the workmanship I can see in the photo.

How bad did it cook the Hydro unit?

Is that final drive cover broken ? Sorry if I’m stating the obvious or if it’s been mentioned already.

Thank you.

I come into the picture part way through the repair on this one. Full story back in post #180.

No, it's all OK. Must be a shadow?

Maybe just oil from pulling the suns to move it.

Would SO MUCH love to get hands on a 963 or 963B here for about a year. Honey Locust, grown over in cedar fence rows rotted away save the stored steel in the trees to push out into Brush Piles, a couple ponds to situate, grade work to accomplish. The old 7G was just NOT up to the task without major malfunctions each and every usage time. Parts too hard to come by or required too much time in conversions.

Bought some abrasive hose cleaning projectiles today. Some of the steel tubes have internal rust from being sitting around.

I didn't know that was thing. Might come in handy someday.

Large scale heat exchanger maintenance product here. Power stations use a lot of similar product lines for cleaning tubes, have adapted as Cmark notes to hydraulic lines that get a corrosion issue inside.

I never knew there was such a thing. Man I could have used them!

The 963C is slowly coming together. Parts availability delays are eating up the weeks.

The engine and pumps are pretty much ready to drop in.

New day, new problem. Looks like another ET update to be paid for.

 

[DMiller]

Never ends, always some Little adjust electronics wise.

 

[Cmark]

It's a tight squeeze.

Not ever understood necessity to cram ten pounds of stuff in a five pound size box. Real estate on HE is NOT required to be Downsized to be functional!!

The people who design this equipment have no plans on getting their hands dirty or
wounding them. They simply don't care about the aftermath of struggle built into
the design. Their little pinkies are to remain clean never soiled. Only real real thing
that matters to most of them is having 7 shots below par at the coarse.

Seeing all this outdoor major overhaul work makes me wonder how many days do you lose for rain or too damn hot weather?

Quite a few is the answer.
Fortunately, major overhauls in God's workshop are an exception. The customer is aware that this job is going to be subject to other work and weather. Obviously with regular field service work, as long as the service truck can get on site then the job gets done.

Cmark, what do you run for a truck down under?

The weapon of choice is typically a small Japanese cab over with a service body. The Isuzu N series is popular. My truck is an Isuzu NQR450.
