One of our D11Rs in pushcat configuration (for pushloading scrapers).

Judging by the way the track frames are missing I'd guess the work being done involves them.

Possibly Pivot shaft holes were wore in the rollerframe?????

 

[EGS]

WOW I have never seen a D11 set up for pushing. That sure beats our D10N's.

Your guess is as good as mine, it was like that when I rolled by.

Looks like you parked it in a bad neighbourhood and the wheels got stolen

Man! I didn't know you guys had bad neighborhoods up there

Ummnh it's actually 'down there' not 'up there' and only Squizzy lives in a real bad neighbourhood and had the wheels taken off his beloved Holden but they did leave some batteries in exchange

Yes I meant Alberta :yup, one of my favorite songs is about Alberta or at least takes place in Alberta (Four Strong Winds)

I checked with one of our welders today, apparently it had some cracks and is getting rebored while they are at it.

Hi GBD,
Gordon Lightfoot sang "Alberta Bound" ....one of Gordy's many great songs.
I think Alberta also had a dinosaur named after it...Albertasaurus.

VT,
Thanks for the D11 pic.Never seen that set up before.

I'm getting a little fftopic but Four Strong Winds was written by Ian & Sylvia Tyson and made popular by Neil Young, I'm a Neil Young junkie
Now to get back on topic I would really like to see pics of that D-11 pushing scrapers when they get the shoes back on :woohoo

From last year

It's the one in the middle of the picture. To the left is a D10N and off the screen to the right is another D11N, all pushcats. Two fleets of 631 scrapers at 7-8 scrapers each and a fleet of 651s.

Here's the track lay down area. Back row: 385C LME, D6R, D5M, D10N, 850D, D10N, D10N (pushcat). Front row: D11N (pushcat), D11R (pushcat). Not pictured: 385C L, 375B L, 345C L, D10 (spare pushcat/ripper).

The neverending line of scrapers. 637s, 657s, 631s, 651s:

Trucks, packers, scrapers, graders, waterbuffs, even a mech truck! (This was BEFORE they hauled the rest of the "herd" in to play with us):

You forgot a link to the lay down area. I would assume that the D11 loads the 51's and not the 31's, I see why we can't find any scraper hands anymore you guys have em all up there

What camera and lens are you using?

Oops here is the link for the track laydown area:

I think that was back when I had my Canon 450D (aka XSi) so the lens would have been the kit EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS.

I have a 5D MKII now with a variety of L lenses to compliment it, man do you ever get crazy quality with that thing (and huge files).
