Old d8 I was running at work. Thought the pic turned out well.
Hi Billy,

Way cool! I consult for the University of Arizona's School of Mines and they have mining equipment that I helped maintain as well as operate...the LHD was quite cool machine. You sit sideways in it. I got pretty good at getting it to Load, Haul and Dump, but the first time was not pretty....It gave me a renewed appreciation for those folks that have the skill set to operate big equipment!

Best,
Phil

Why did it have 36 for the year?

Hi Billy,

Well...the 10th digit of the VIN is the model year... The date of production 4/36 may indicate the 4th day of the 36th week, but it is my guess only...Not really good on door labels but trust the VIN for the model year....

Best,
Phil

My office today.
Billy, is that a ”jackhammer“ attachment? Looks like it shakes the heck out of you. Is it as bad as it looks?

Lol yeah kinda. It's a hammer, or hydraulic breaker. If the trackhoe is big enough, and you set it level, it's not bad.

Thanks Billy, by the looks of the other equipment, and the appearance of that hammer, it was clear you were in something bigger than the Bobcats I see busting up sidewalks. ? Always happy to learn about the work of others - thanks for posting.
