    Crane Porn

    Scariest job for me ever. Install a construction elevator right beside a live, already operating one. The tower sections were bad enough, setting them 2500lbs each with 2 guys standing on the tower. The cage was 5600 and my boom head was 18" off the other tower.

    Why we need Stumps Grind??

    If we don't remove trees and grind the stumps then my daughter won't be able to go to med school and I can't afford my regular hookers and blow that keep my "tree" healthy.

    Crane Porn

    The company I worked for wasn't much for measuring. More of a "see what you can do and if it doesn't work it's the crews' fault" situation. It got bad enough that at one point I threatened the estimators that I would cut a tarp the same foot print of the crane so they could roll it out and make...

    one handing saw in bucket

    Changing equipment won't help. If a guy is going to one hand he/she's gonna do it regardless. Providing a rear handle only is going to take away control and make stress issues in the arms leading to higher risk of the saw related injuries you're trying to avoid. Try and figure out why it's...

    Intl. 4300 Dt466 Overheating

    More important to get crap hot, moist and loose than high pressure. Keep the spray strait at the rad, if you start shooting at an angle that's when the fins get deformed.

    Intl. 4300 Dt466 Overheating

    If not enough hot air passing through the rad then the fan clutch won't get hot enough to engage

    Intl. 4300 Dt466 Overheating

    I wouldn't say 220/5 is too hot on the hwy. as long as when the fan kicks in and the temp drops and slowly builds when the fan kicks out. After seeing what gets bunged up in the rads and coolers of a bucket, I'd gladly pay to have them pulled and cleaned out between once a year

    Btw, don't Let it go on for too long or you'll be doing liner seals for about $10k.

    Intl. 4300 Dt466 Overheating

    Our mechanics just fixed mine, same exact problem. Hot water power washed my rad for about 1/2 hour with the engine running. Explained like this... Hot rad bakes sap etc into the fins. Usually using blower to clean up, extra fine debris clings to sap etc. Rain and road splash dampen all the...
