    Help me with a certain type of Ford L series

    We had lots of LTL's here with Cummins and Cat engines. They had a real good reputation. Still see them around a bit. I've never seen a triaxle one here. Is it a tri drive or does it have a lazy axle?

    you know when you're in deep doo-doo....

    It would have to be winched out if there was a solid anchor point near by. It may be a write off anyway. Hyundai aren't a real class machine and with water through everything it would be a massive job to clean it out. I bet the operator died in the guts waiting for the boss to show up.I bogged...

    Ray, You got Bucket Wheel Excavators over there????

    The blade lift rams are hooked to the radiator nose cone so I would not be surprised if the frame was twisted. I would not be surprised if it was good for components and ditch the rest

    Could i make this fit in a superduty????

    Might be easier to put in a 3208. There are quite a few of them around in F350's

    That must make it around 50 ton then.Thats a lot of weight for that wheel to toss up :eek: My son recently spent 3 months at a mine with a large bucket wheel. He said it was awesome standing out on the end of the boom with a remote control and manouvering the machine from that postion

    Backhoe Bucket

    Mike the advantage with hydraulics is the power you can get to the bar and the torque at low revs. We are using hydraulic power pacs with 8hp motors and we can get nearly all that to the bar. The hydraulic motor is very compact,maybe 4 inches diameter by 4 inchs long.Much differant to a 8 hp...

    Got lots of them here. I can tell you it takes 3 month's to line bore all the holes on one. Do you know where the pics where taken?And what size is the Dozer. Can't quite make it out. Looks like D6R but I doubt they would have anything that small cleaning up around that monster

    Backhoe Bucket

    Thats off a 250 ton machine and weighs around 18 tonne. It takes around 30 tonnes of ore per scoop. We have done work on bucket wheel reclaimers and ship loaders http://cms2web.fam.de/english/Products/Stockyard%2520systems/Bucket%2520wheel%2520reclaimers/ and also the hydraulic excavators are...

    With Matt talking about Backhoes I thought some of you might like to see this back hoe bucket I line bored last week and fitted the bearings to today. It fits onto a Hitachi EX2500 digger
