I'm willing to bet you have the same problem i do I bet you have a few Rockchucks, those bastards chew and poop on everything and are famous for crawling into equipment and chewing and pooping on everything. We shoot at least a couple hundred a year. I've never seen so many of them the last 10 years. Also might not hurt to put 2 gallons of Lucas oil additive in your oil so you don't have dry starts, i use Lucas for everything and found that their grease lasts twice as long as that very expensive mining grease that's in the silver tubes.
I swear that’s why Toomer Construction runs so many scrappers at once cause they always have one down. Scrappers Sure do move a lot of dirt in a hurry.
Hmm. You are a long way from any port,but what is the availability and price of oh,a couple of 20 foot shipper containers ? Mostly more useful than 40 or 45 footers. Nice dry winter storage. Raise them up off the ground some,and done. Lockable. Strong.
I have been using old fire hoses for covers on hydraulic and air lines. They are the shits to cut. I use a Sawzall. If you know someone at the fire department most of the time, you can get it at no cost.
I got to say, I sure do miss running our 637s Joe Vicini inc Placerville ca. We mined clay sand, gold, built roads, pads you name it. I almost got killed on one. Climbing up a ramp to the top of a 100ft cut it died empty .back down I came, the oil was cold and the can would not drop, breaks what breaks, I bit a hole in the seat with my ass, it ended up sideways on the ramp, the front was hanging of one side with 15ft of air and the stinger was the same. lucky the can socked in. if it would of gone forward I would have gone 4 to 500ft down though the brush. after I unfroze I had to clime up over the goose neck the steps were 15ft off the ground. Needless to say I was shook up. It was 20 years ago But like yesterday in my head . Thank God in still hear. John Wunschel Placerville ca OLD HANGTOWN ca
Also Jeff crop farming in Australia is somewhere between awful and bloody awful. Inputs are incredibly expensive and commodity prices are well down. Seems odd that it is happening concurrently there and here as well.....
for chafing gear on drilling rigs we would use spiral wrap or split fire hose or sometimes both. We had a lot of situations like around your bowls. Cheers.
Hey Jeff, with regard to that exhaust bypass gizmo, and the aftermarket you might look into a marine application. I've never seen such a thing on a 343, probly cause a boat is always at sea level. Cheers bud!
Jeff, you or mr griffy has to exhibit dominance. One of you is gonna have to crap next to the racoon crap and convince it that they are trespassing Better break out mrs jeff's special winter chilli and get prepared for battle. 😂
Jeff, Some of the best hose chafe guard I have found was canvas fire hose. A shop that I used to work at years ago used to make donations to the local volunteer fire department for out of date fire hoses
Jeff, really appreciate your expertise and tech tips. They are absolutely invaluable. I really dread the day you stop sharing tech tips and experience. Thanks for your videos. They are absolute gold!!
Great video Jeff always enjoy watching you work on your scrapers. To bad the raccoon got into the barrel and chewed the air hoses. Thanks for sharing stay safe Jeff and Mr Griffy.
Time for a live trap, and then take the Racoon to your best friend's house and let it loose. Oh, could you make sure it is miles from you? I mean miles, LOL
I remember in junior high ,friends were talking abought raccoons we never had any ,till some smart person brought us some ,how bought it jeff ,you notice a simaler thing up there,
Gee Jeff, I can let the boss lady hear you overlay your conversation. She will want to do it to me when I go off on democrat stupidity. She frowns on it
