After high school I worked in a grain elevator for 7 years. The aluminum shovels were great for dry grain, despite wearing out relatively quick or cracking with the shear volume of grain we handled. We were the rail head for 5 elevators all owned by the same company, big leg was 12K bushels per hour, small leg was only 5K. During harvest, even with switching grains, 15K was normal per hour, or 150,000 bushels a day. Had to clean at least one bin every day. But, when time came to muck out the boot pit, the aluminum was just too flimsy, only the steel would do. You would typically be standing in 6 to 18 inches of water, with rotten grain. Boy, I don't miss those days, when you crawled out of the pit you smelled worse than any hog farmer around. DOUG

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
