I just downloaded a bunch (300 to be exact) of pictures off my phone tonight. Until I started looking at them on the big screen, I hadn't realized all of the stuff I had pictures of over the past year. So, I thought I'd share a few of the better ones so ya'll can see some of the stuff I work with and/or around every day.
I tried posting captions but the wording didn't post. So, here goes again.
Pic one is the flying Bobcat. It was brought to me dead, and sitting on a flatbed. The only way to unload was to give it a little pick-me-up, which I was happy to do.
The second pic is part of an attachment that rips engines out of the cars at a big salvage yard. The grease worms had been eating on the pivot holes, and the bearings had shattered letting them eat on the main body of the piece. So I had to bring it home, add some meat back, and then rebore the holes back to size for the factory bushings. I usually do this kind of thing onsite, but it had to be done over their Christmas break so it got to live with me for several days.
Next is someone's idea of a jacked up truck seen at the same salvage yard. thankfully the rig will soon see the engine ripper before it had a chance to kill anybody.
Fourth is proof that algae will grow in a hydraulic tank just as easily as it will in a diesel tank. This is the first time I have ever seen it happen in an oil tank. It was so bad the pumps couldn't pick up the oil as the crud had the suction filters stopped completely up. The cure is the same biocide that's used in diesel fuel, should you ever run into a similar situation.
Fifth is/was the sprocket off a 850H Case dozer. Not much to say except they got the goodie out of this one...LOL
Lastly the dozer the sprocket was on. The machine got both new sprockets, new bottom and return rollers on both sides, and new rails. The only thing reused was the old LGP pads. I found the easiest way to get the old pads off the rails, and get them swapped to the new rails was to pick them up with the crane and get everything at a good working height. Hot wrench and hammer off, and then all new bolts going back. Start to finish took me about 40 hours total to do sides, working completely alone from start to finish.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
