How many I must have rebuilt or repaired.
I know many won't care, but I have to show the size of it.
263 cubic inch per cylinder.
And I did do load tests on the generator also.

 

Did you ever work on something this big?

 

I worked in a Machine shop building, repairing, trouble shooting and designing machinery with a combination of Hydraulic, Pneumatic and Mechanical parts. I would fabricate custom parts from stock and manufacture parts for other companies. Biggest machine I worked on was a 25 Ton Beam Clicker in the shop, but had larger immobile machines in the fields we would work on for repair calls.

 

No, but I did go to Caterpillar corporate in Peoria for Marine PAR classes and while there went to the building that made high track bulldozers.
Walked under the largest one D11. Had a 3508, new name is the C32 Acert (Electronic version).
The video i posted is a 3516 (16 cylinders) 3508 has 8.

 

I've seen alot of the D-11 dozers in the coal strip mines that I've hauled from. I also like the 992 loaders. Now I haul from the deep mines. Not too many strip mines left...A sign of the times in Eastern Ohio...john

 

How deep are the holes now ?
Or is a strip mine one that looks like a bowl ?

 

Never heard of a Beam Clicker.
Is it a type of metal break ?

 

Typical haul truck in a strip mine. They haul the coal to a stockpile where it's loaded on a semi truck, then we haul it to a wash plant or to a powerplant if the quality is good enough. Hopefully I'll get back to work next week and I'll bring my camera with me..... john

 

This is one of the deep mines that I haul from! They asked me if I wanted a tour of the underground mine? after watching this-I don't think so...john

 

They use a die ( blades mounted in shapes on a board of sorts) to cut leather or gaskets.some can cut shapes 4' x 8' or larger
