The year was 1955, I (and the girl) were 6 years old. What´s so strange about this? :lmao:

**#1007** » 12:21:35, 22-07-2018

Nothing "strange" Boyo :vissla:

.... been a lot more 'interesting' if it had been 1965 :grin:

..... pretty normal-ish at 6 yrs old :vissla:

LOL

top layer is all 'block stone' ... mudstone again under it .... a lot of block to come out yet ! Better go get a load of pallets !! :grin:

but running out of space to pile it all .... more than enough to trim off a level where needed so decided this morning that some - a lot - had to go, so been loading out most of the afternoon and tramping it up to me neighbour's stone stock pile in his field :vissla:

Chatting with him last weekend, at his kid's birthday party and he's over the moon with the pile .... "keep it coming" was his expression ... :cool:

..... happy to oblige :thumme:

.. backwards is the only sensible way down here, with pushing 7-8 ton of rock in the skip :eek:

getting it up on the heap can be 'exciting' :vissla:

..... that doesn't look much of a heap with the dumper sat on it ... it is though!!!! :huh:

if next doors hadn't pissed me off, this'd made a hell of a nice shed base/hard-standing area for his gear :vissla:

.... and'd been a bloody sight closer !!!! :sad:

tea time ..... 'bout half seven tonight ..... back from the last one of the day .. would've done another hour or so ..... but I was bloody starving !! :eat:

still a lot of 'block' to pull up :eek:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180724_20_43_48_Pro_zps6gt2jajo.jpg

but the pile of stone and crush is diminishing ... IIRC about 10 or 11 loads this afters :thummar:

reckon I can ship out most of the pile ... a lot more mudstone, under the block layer and most of it'll need ripping up :thumme:

Is this part of a plan to clean up and expand your workspace or are you now running a small scale quarry?

Min Youtube-kanal · **#1010** » 11:45:38, 25-07-2018

It might be just to keep the machines from rusting shut... :mrgreen:

**#1011** » 12:00:35, 25-07-2018

LOL gentlemen .... might as well be quarrying :vissla:

..... some real nice stone though :grin:

co-pilot's been at it again :eek:

In/out, in/out - I'll just lie here / there / here - where-ever :vissla:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_17_19_59_Pro_zpsyah4utby.jpg

he's been on my lap, on the floor, under my feet, sat behind the seat, sat on my shoulders ..... laid on the deck of the machine - front / back, on top of the tool locker .. he has been everywhere today !! :screwy:

he is one spoilt cat ... he cost me a bloody fortune when he was 18 months old ... has had a full back end rebuild ... both hips wired, pinned and screwed and his lower rear, right leg completely rebuilt. :cool:

you'd never know, apart from a few small scars .... we were very lucky to have one of the country's top orthopedic veterinary surgeons practicing quite locally. :thummar:

the bill how-ever was :eek:

last but one load, from yon pile, ready to depart ....

kept the last one - still in the dumper ATM ... in case I want/need it ... :vissla:

and set about getting it squared up, with what was left on the floor

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_18_18_48_Pro_zpsfz48ml0y.jpg

still got a lot more mudstone to rip out in places, so might not need said load.... but yer never know?? :vissla:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_18_45_00_Pro_zpsglxjddpi.jpg

looking a bit more like it .... :thumme:

the big question is ....... how many more pallets do i need for this lot ..... :skratta3:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_20_09_00_Pro_zpsz5uw0ics.jpg

looking a bit flatter than it was ... there's always one big b'stard that pops up as yer's pulling the edge across :aaargh:

!!!!! getting there though :grin:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_19_27_33_Pro_zpsolyru4xa.jpg

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_20_09_44_Pro_zpssk5qus9w.jpg

then there's the question of dealing with those bloody lumpers :eek:

... and sorting this end ..... think I may have to relocate some pallets ... again .... to give me some space for this corner.!!! :huh:

Plus .... quite a few of 'em are sat on some of what needs to come up !! :sad:

load count .....

this morning

put very near five hours on her today :eek:

Originalets URL: http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y450/v8druid/my%20bucket%202/WP_20180725_20_22_26_Pro_zpsvmycbj2z.jpg
which I know is sod all for all you guys who spend day in, day out in 'em .... but ... :vissla:

couple of min.s to load the dumper from the heap .... turn her off ... pilot dumper prob.s 2/3rds of a mile each way .... and repeat .... :grin:

for me to put hours on her is 'unusual'.

she's approaching about 850 hrs since I've had her .... so five in a stint's a lot for me - sort of!! ..... 4504 on her when she arrived at Druid central ..... four years ago!!!! :eek:

explains why I was 'in the groove', edge grading rubble, this afters !! ... LOL :skratta3:

as per ..... lots more pix here for the masochists amongst you

problem with scaling up the crusher is that, one needs to scale up the propulsion too :eek:

**#1017** » 14:15:49, 26-07-2018

True!

( I cant help it, but that sounds more like an up side to me .... :eat:

)

Deutz V12 aircooled diesel engine!! :cool:

Then you can size up the crusher :thummar:

Oh Mighty Druid!
The green one´s most like my F4L 514.
Same rattling noise from the cylinders as there´s no " engineblock" with waterchannels to muffle the noise.
That noise can blow yer ears out :cool:

Imagine me RV with that V12 cylinder engine in it instead of the 4 cylinder, inline engine :mrgreen:

Well.. I keep on dreaming :levitera:
