I worked at a major pump manufacturer and the best engines for pumps are the John Deere and CATs depending on the HP and torque curves needed to operate within the required pumping curve. I used these manufacturers on 4” to 18” pumps at Godwin Pumps. No load on the pump is just like the other...
Bummer. I grew up riding that track since it opened. I remember when a man that sky was diving fell out of the sky and bounced on the vet track.
At the end of the day, if closing the track would bring back the little girl, I'm sure that all would be in favor of it. But due to the lawsuit, a...
My house in Parker is over ran with damn cats. When I'm staying there, not one in sight. When I leave, my backyard outdoor furniture becomes a sex lounge for those little bastards. My Ring cameras have seen more porn than a Motel 6. I'll need a solution after seeing all of the kittens running...
Trucking these mosters has it's chalenges. Here is a CAT 5130 Shovel sliding off the trailer. I've been in the equipment industry since I was 17 and I have so many "fail" photos. :p
I was just starting out in the industry. I was about 17 when it was completed, and they started filling the reservoir. I worked at the CAT dealer who supplied all of the machines to AWZ and Kiewit.
Or here's a CAT 5230 Shovel (721,000 lbs) that we had to replace the swing bearings. Not broke, just a product impovement. You can see the guys having lunch under the house that is sitting on wood blocks! Located at Diamond Valley Lake, CA
Here is a Hyundai R1200-9 that I tore apart and shipped to Florida. It was a 285,000 lb unit. As you can see it was lifted the proper way. Loaded it on eight trucks.
I’ve sold millions of dollars of equipment south of the border and you always get a wire transfer up front. No deposits or bank checks.
I won’t get too deep, but the cartels love to buy equipment too. Laundering money with tractors is quite common.
Avoid that place like the plague. They will get you in on the price and then upsell the shit out of you. I walked out and bought a vehicle cheaper at another dealer without all of the BS.
FYI, My Ford F250 diesel Tremor has had zero problems. 76k miles and counting........
I sell off all of my used company vehicles once they have reached an odometer milestone or useable life. I always have some person asking is I have a car fax. I simply reply no, but if you provide your own Carfax, I’ll knock off the $40 off the sale price if they don’t beat down the price and...
