Not new just been away too long

[Big Block 88]

Hey all just checking back in, been gone for about a year and a half. Sold the LBZ due to my new job its about 150 miles a day and I just racked up miles too fast on it. So i have been rocking the little gasser truck lately and the old LB7.

We just picked up a new LML for the ranch, pretty sweet rigs, but its gonna have to stay stock for that kinda money. Anyway glad to be back ya'll

Hey Jordan, nice to hear from you again.

There's not much you can do to that LML anyway, so just leave it alone.

Thanks guys and gal:hug:, glad to be back. I've been welding for Cat now for a couple years, it keeps me more than busy.

It's time now to start digging into the old LB7 threads and find me some ideas to help the old high mile tow pig out some.

Thanks for the warm welcome back.:thumb:

Welding for Cat? Where?

 

[Big Block 88]

Wamego KS we build 992-994 wheel loader buckets d9-d11 dozer blades, and we just started the new dragline models up. The new 6090 should be starting next month,

 

[dordtrecht5]

Ya, you guys are going to be getting a piece of the 6090, I think your getting the clam shovels. Have fun trying to pass UTs on it from the transition from the cast to forged. There's definitely a learning curve. It's bullshit that they are taking them away from South Milwaukee though. I weld Main Frames on the 6090 and 6120 hex machines. Cat can suck it! Worst company I've ever worked for.

 

[dordtrecht5]

Are you guys using hard wire or dual shield E-80T-1 wire?

 

[Big Block 88]

Sorry for delay, we are hard wire on pulse, before i was laid off I just finished the 6090 front the cast to forge wasnt bad. Never had an issue with UT, I started in structure welding so I am used to all UT'd joints. There are some guys getting there ass kicked by it.

Cat moved the 6090 over to wamego because of the new supper shop that was finished last year, I built 994's for 2 years before being moved to the 6090 and drag lines
