Good point. At the same time I wouldn’t be surprised if the hydraulic tilt is electric…. Definitely would be a conversation starter at the campground. 😎

Congratulations on your retirement Bob! Looking forward to hearing about all the trouble you get yourself into with the newly found time! 😎

@Firemack do you know anyone in the market for an L85? Beautiful truck @Angelo

Thank you Bob. Dad had a great run of nearly 77 years. 3 bad days at the end and a few hiccups over the decades, but overall a great life. 😎

Have you been in since the sale to Century?

Unfortunately we lost my Dad in 2018 @Red Horse, but I’m pretty sure that he trained Heidi before he retired in 2007. 😎

A friend who lives in the area brought to us to my attention the day it happened @Red Horse . Not knowing there are other quarries in the area I assumed it had happened at the former Pandolph-Perkins quarry where my Dad worked for years. Appears from the videos I’ve seen that Onyx is in the process of building a new plant at an older quarry. Hard to say why that corner had been left the way that it had. May the operator rest in peace.

@Humbird when you have the truck hauled across the county you should be able to get the truck doing the hauling weighed before and after loading - depending upon what else the driver is hauling - unless of course you are trying to get it registered before you move it… Any photos of the rig? We all love photos! 😎

I’m 99% sure I saw @farmer52’s “Roll Hauler” MH at the show. Was a little thrown off though as there was another very similar light blue MH there also. Perhaps a sister from the Martins fleet?

From LinkedIn Thought everyone would enjoy seeing this… 𝗔𝗨𝗚𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗥 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗦 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗬 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗣𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 For four decades the late Bob Jones operated this 1967 Mack lube truck. Years later mechanics Mike Foley and Rich Liska in New Milford are still keeping the quarry’s heavy equipment fueled, greased and oiled every workday. As mechanics they appreciate the midcentury truck’s spare simplicity and ease of repair. Riding in this “old iron” is to step back in time.

Looking forward to seeing some photos of your progress @hicrop10!

Not sure what options you have out there Bob, but you may find a “local” rental place is more “price friendly” than the big box store. Last time I priced something (it’s been a while) the local “Taylor Rental” was half the price of HD….

You might be able to pick up a few sections of scaffolding on Craigslist or facebook marketplace and then sell them when your done Bob. Or you’d have them around for future projects… 😎

I saw that too @tjc transport Figured maybe posting would send him a notification that I had dropped his name - or that someone might know Andy and provide an update for him. 😎 How’s bout ya @hurstscrambler, got your ears on?

Unfortunately I see Andy hasn’t been on the site in over a year. Does anyone know @hurstscrambler and the status of his project?
