Had a blowout on the highway two days ago and the service truck that came looked at the other drive tires and noticed soft spots and rot on the sidewalls. So today I'm getting new recaps for the international. In a few years I'm parting ways with this truck so new ones aren't warranted
So wait, you're recapping the sidewalls?
What're you replacing this truck with?
Did you ever get that shop built?
Lol ty, but I ain't out to pasture yet there big guy; lol I'm still climbing at home and now with new cameraThis is such good news that you found such a cool job that enables you to travel and see new things like that!! Congrats, El Ropeo, you deserve it!!

This happened a few days ago, not really sure why. I have a feeling one of the heli coils pulled out of one of the repaired holes from when the shaft broke years ago. There Def is a weird looking spot in the metal on the right side tho. Was a fairly new set of blades.the drum shaft broke and the drum fell on one side and,,
Not a beautiful day, but I will look to the silver lining, that way I can say "it was a beautiful day",,
so, one of my crews was working a big job and I got a call that a chipper knife went thru the chute,
doing big removals and trying to chip all the big wood,,
all was going good until that big moment when they called,
it seems a knife went thru the chute,, Morbark 15",
what they did not know, was the shaft that the drum is on sheared off at the drum,
probably gonna cost mucho,
So, the beautiful part is no one was hurt.
