As frustrating as it is dealing with and trying to help the up and comers of the industry I can't help but find myself feeling old....... It's been over 20 yrs since I was green and I seem to recall hearing the oldtimers complaining about us young guys!
I'm turning a new leaf.......The future is bright, and the young guys will turn out alright.
. Besides, I'll be retired and long gone by then.
That's all I'm saying about that! I don't like it when I bring my work life grief enter my happy time.
So here's a happy work update
the 992 axles are long gone and now back into rebuilding a R1700 underground scoop. the axles are out and I thought to take a couple pics of these cute little things.
Only weigh 5,500 lbs. the diff is just over 800lbs. A far cry from the 992 diff that weighs 2,000lbs!
The axle housing is a little different but can be compared to a 966 or 970 wheel loader size.
