slpwlker Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Back many many moons ago when I was a dozer operator. We tried to save it but just couldn get anything going. Driver didn't want me pulling him when it sank. At that stage it was very saveable. then it just kept leaning and all I could do was pull tight and shut the dozer down incase it got drug in also. What a cluster that caused. Had another pic but unknown where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 That jobsite must have been quick sand!we where pushing muck back into the lake and letting the draglines dig it mixed in with the sand and rock. Had more muck then we could deal with. Hell half the ponds and or lakes had so much in there no but could move. once you started sinking you had to move. had a dozer almost go in. Sitting there talking to another operator and then he moved. 2 mins later the plot he had been sitting on was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rsb502 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2014 I almost had a tore up wednesday, I put my drain tube on my turbo and fired the truck up to make sure it sealed up.......didnt put the feed line back on the turbo though! I found out the turbo oil feed line on an E9 will drain 4 gallons of oil in under 30 seconds, concrete driveway looks nice! 4 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenGiant2 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 think the machine is about a 120-160 size, not sure about bucket. most likely the smallest so they get the least done in a day 1 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.
