I just found this video of cutting pumice and you did a great job of showing removed this material. I think this material is turned into a paste and used to sharping all kind of woodworking hand tools. like your girls too.
We'll you never know what you may come across watching videos. Been there.... hauled a load or two over to the plant in Idaho Falls. It was a few years back early 1990's... Had an old loader there we loaded with. We were using double belly dumps. Hot and dusty!!!
We don't work for them anymore, Old Castle wants us to be MSHA compliant, not worth all the hassle for just one customer, and I don't miss it, it was so hard on radiators undercarriage, cutting edges, it was like dozing grinder discs
Your video was good, not only did you give us commentary on what you were doing and why but you also showed every angle of your operation. I thought that was very good. I would have liked to have seen more video of you pushing the pumice over the bank though.
Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete is also very inexpensive if your close to the mine
so is this a alluvial deposit or from a ash cloud , so how close is your nearest volcano, ours are about 100km away we had one chuck some ash out couple of weeks ago just a lite dusting . but have a 1 foot cover a work 2 foot down from about a 1000 years ago, makes our trees fall over easy.
swn02 well considering it is a couple hundred(if that ) from craters of the moon and from Yellowstone National Park and was covered by lake Bonneville st one point in history.
Don't know, we used to buy reject stuff to sand blast with from them but they don't make the product anymore, guess nobody needs to polish tv screens any more, there's no reason anymore
OH WOW !! i just love the ripper view that is awsome man! i have never seen a view like that before is the final drive whining a little or is the closeness of the camera making it sound louder than it is?
Lol yup dam sho bud looked at it on the Google map there You should just load that Ole Komatsu dozer up and taker home! Boise sand N gravel just shut down BUINESS years ago and left the poor Ole girl up there to rust away there used to be 2 of them! and an old ass Michigan loader too but ain't been up there for awhile we drove our chariot team up there all the time for work on the soft ground growed up in that pit byhell!
At the 8m35s of this video, I was 'surprised' the blade side frames would have needed 'metal build up' as I would have anticipated the blade being wide enough to deflect any material from "wearing out" the side frame.
What would cause said d8 to be under powered where it can't even pull itself out of a hole and if you didn't have it being put under a load it will run like nothing's wrong.
Do you get excessive smoke under load? whether your getting smoke or not put a gauge on the pressure side of the intake manifold to see how much boost your getting, also you need a good gauge to check fuel pressure, if you can't get the proper fuel pressure to the injection pump it can't deliver the fuel necessary to make power and produce the boost necessary to burn it, fuel makes boost and boost burns it, there can be some other problems also, fuel rack not able to make full travel, governor not functioning , a serious restriction in the fuel supply line like a flapper in the rubber, even if its a new hose, also if its a supply problem check the fuel shut off valve to see if it will allow the free flow of fuel, you could have something inside the tank that is stuck inside the entry to the valve, do you have an operational fuel pressure gauge? I would need some more detail to understand whats happening,
Jpaydirt I'm not the owner of said d8 I'm just giving you full explanation of what my family friend told me. He took the pump and governor to a shop in Phoenix Az but they don't know how to work on the governor. Do you know any shops around that have parts tractors or pull salvage parts. Anything you are willing to share has/is much appreciated. I'm finishing my degree in diesel mechanics but never been around yellow iron of this age.
I'm going to assume that he has determined that the pump and governor are the problem, so he's going to have to find a shop or Cat dealer with an older person who has experience with the older scroll pumps, These old pumps are pretty simple, if a competent fuel man had an old service manual it would give a very detailed description of the operation, disassembly and assembly and the specifications needed to rebuild it, he would also need the rack setting info, which you could get from a Cat dealer, I would google any parts you need by the specific part number, I use Machinery Trader's used parts number search or what ever comes up in a search, and I also use Regal for new aftermarket parts, check ebay for a service manual, there a great source, if you are going to school you would love the information they have, they give detailed descriptions of how components work, like transmissions and the valves, with colored diagrams of the oil flow in different gears, you can't get that stuff anymore in a manual
Thank you,that was mighty kind gesture. I do enjoy hearing the D9,no matter what your doing.Thank you again and be safe working.
Yet another interesting video,great sound too.Never get tired of hearing a Cat D9.
Just love all those different camera angles.
Keep up the good work sir

Very cool, man. Thanks.
My God a million tons of pumice right THERE!
That engine shot would be cool with a infrared cam, expensive though, nice work, I have never mined.
some really cool and different camera angles.
Good video
muy creativo, gracias por el vídeo
se intiendo
Thanks for the video.
Are you able to charge an increased hourly rate when working in abrasive conditions like this to account for extra wear on machines?
I like the different camera positions you're using. Good stuff J
Well I try to make them interesting, I hate watching the same thing for 10 minutes, thanks

Yes, hard on the metal parts....!

+ATOM09 Thanks for the feed back, glad you enjoyed☻

Jdirt you rock
niceto know where pumice comes from since I use it in my potting soil for my houseplants and orchids! thank you
This deposit could have been layed down in the last eruption of the super volcano at Yellowstone, only 70 miles away.
videoclipits That is true
Their probably isn't a fungus in pumice like CA dirt causes.Valley fever
Those older push pull scrapers we used to drop our bail on the stinger of the one in front so the fuel guy could just walk across
But not over the hook
so is this a alluvial deposit or from a ash cloud , so how close is your nearest volcano, ours are about 100km away we had one chuck some ash out couple of weeks ago just a lite dusting . but have a 1 foot cover a work 2 foot down from about a 1000 years ago, makes our trees fall over easy.
swn02 well considering it is a couple hundred(if that ) from craters of the moon and from Yellowstone National Park and was covered by lake Bonneville st one point in history.
well if you ever had to clean a part for welding like the blade or ripper you sure have a good way to do it
Love that pumice.... just like rock that will float.
Wasn't Hess one of the biggest haulers? Pulling doubles down south down I-5 ?
I-15 of course. Northern Utah people can't spell. Or figure out how many wives the have. Just know that Morrison'/Knudsen was what built the West.
Hess Pumice. Pulling doubles.
Don't know, we used to buy reject stuff to sand blast with from them but they don't make the product anymore, guess nobody needs to polish tv screens any more, there's no reason anymore

STILL COOL AND WET HERE IN MISSISSSIPPI. I NEED DOZER THERAPY.
hell jeff your just up above my place in this one I do believe!

+Mike McInerney Maybe a full U dozer might its a foot or so wider on each side
Hey jeff what year is your d9? Have a friend who is having problems with a 66 D8.
69 dude
What would cause said d8 to be under powered where it can't even pull itself out of a hole and if you didn't have it being put under a load it will run like nothing's wrong.

Maybe it's for lava soap
Yummy I'm in heaven, pumice is crunchy gritty and earthy tasting I love eating pumice. Sorry it's my pica.
That's alot of Hand cleaner
Some of my old girlfriends didn't smell like they used it
