From what they told me American Dollars went a long way in Poland, and if you had 50 or 100k in US Dollars you were a very wealthy man CAN i GET AN AMEN . Polacks can't be all bad; they were the center of all the jokes years back;;; why all you jealous people.

Joseph Cummings Posted Saturday at 04:51 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 04:51 PM These trucks full of Portland Cement belong to SIG. They are like the largest Portland cement producer in Asia. These guys aren't playing. They are doing business like it's combat, and here in the US we are doing business like it's a day care center for preschool girls Quote PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (known as SIG) is a state-owned holding company providing building material solutions. The company has 17 subsidiaries located in Indonesia and Vietnam. With a market reach to Asia, Australia and Oceania, the company's main business is in the cement sector and its derivative products such as concrete, mortar, precast, and aggregate. In running its main business process, the company has supporting business lines such as construction and manufacturing services, land and sea transportation services, industrial packaging provider, mining services, international trade service, and building material solution applications. In addition, through several subsidiaries and business units, the company also does business in property, industrial estate management, industrial waste management, informatics solutions, and health services. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74929-obsolete-head-gasket-just-go-to-the-flea-market-and-see-this-guy/page/4/#findComment-565386 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted Saturday at 09:08 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:08 PM so long ago I don't remember the spec's. Might have been a tad heavier as well, there were a coupla loads I moved in that weight range, I don't remember all the stats on them.

I think they were using a one megawatt 1800 RPM unit here. Voltage is at least 4160. You can see the generator load every time the feet go down. I didn't watch all the parts, but usually lots of greasing going on when they walk them far. Hey @Mark T, How far did they walk the Anthracite King that time? I think it was some crazy distance. I think they told me it was to make the cut for RT81.

Mark T Posted Saturday at 11:00 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:00 PM I'm not sure how far it walked. I thought they were talking about using it again. I know the Marion down in the cut below it was running not too long ago. Isn't that Marion in the picture over The Shaft ? And yes Jojo, you would like to see those. If you stood by the cut where the big Marion is and looked down you get dizzy for a second. Then you realize the D9K sitting next to it is a D9K (lol) I might be wrong, but from what I understood, the 250 ton end dumps at the time couldn't make it from the bottom of the pit up. The big Marion cast up to The Anthracite King (a huge Bucyrus Erie) then material was loaded to go to the breaker. I always thought that was a Marion. Knew it ended up blue and white. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74929-obsolete-head-gasket-just-go-to-the-flea-market-and-see-this-guy/page/4/#findComment-565424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays hell with stuff like the electrical cabinets, connections, all kinds of stuff. Back around 1990 I worked moving that one for Booty from Penn Terminal to if I remember correctly right behind the brick plant. He bought it from British Steel and it came on a ship to right below Philly. 122 truckloads. All up 309. The boom point was 18 feet wide. Almost all the loads we had to go north up the southbound lanes to get through Tamaqua because north took you up the side of that bar that had the horse on the roof, and then you had to make a hard left 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74929-obsolete-head-gasket-just-go-to-the-flea-market-and-see-this-guy/page/4/#findComment-565431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted yesterday at 07:33 PM Share Posted yesterday at 07:33 PM both the B61sx :20 and the DM811sx :18 speed I drove part-time were fun. today I couldn't do the two stick same time method; if I could even properly shift two stick one at a time.
