I think this huge building near the end of the line of buildings composing the Mill A complex was a kiln drying facility. This is the one with the winch along the side.


Judging by this air compressor pressure tank permit, this building was still in use until sometime between 2007 and 2012. Think I took these pics in 2015. I see now that is sez "Mill A Dry Sorter"....

Here's an odd one for Jeffus.

Some sort of JD scraper based on one of the big later 2cyl diesel wheel tractors starting with the R. We fired it up. Runs like a top. Owner is a Cat/AC/IHC guy, but got this one for a couldn't-pass-up deal. Same guy that owns the Diamond-T dump truck.

Based on an 830 IIRC.

The newer ones based off the 5010/20 tractors were a lot more common, likely still a few in use today.

BTW, we hauled a lot of water during Desert Shield/Storm in rubber "blivets" strapped to our 40 foot flatbeds. You either hauled em plumb full or empty, anything in between caused havoc with sloshing water. Even full, they were a little hairy on corners or a quick stop.

what kind of pressure did you get from her? i had a whole stack of little problems affecting the DB and i'm not done chasing all those yet. i still may have to get a new pump. i did have her lift doing all it supposed to but at 450psi if would raise a back blade. lots of rotten o rings in it. since you had her apart i dont think water is the problem. could be the wrong fluid? the uk guys are telling me to use motor oil straight 30. eye dont see a difference between 30 motor oil and 30 hydro but they say it is?

so, i just got this fuker done last week. i did not have to buy a new pump. 4 o rings and it now makes 2400psi. it should unload at 2200, not sure whats up with that but so be it.
the valve......about 8 times i had that thing in and out. i had lift and hold but no lower. you have to set these up with a dial guage, that spool valve only moves whats stamped on the plunger, in this case .097, i set it to .099, i read to much is better than to little. you can not tell if its out by eye, dial guage is a must. all good, but still no lower. i figured out i could insert a long screw driver, give the spool valve a little bit more up and it would lower. contrary to what the brits say, i wound up removing all the shims from the abutment plate which limits the upward travel of the cam pushing the spool up. ah, lift hold and lower. this move renders traction control feature of the valve in operable but i dont care for blade and chopper work. most tractors dont have that any way. i know, tl,dr. fuck off, its in print and may help some poor fuck some day.
