What makes your pictures interesting is you guys still use the old school way of doing things. You don't see too many contractors use Gradalls anymore even the highways dept very rarely uses them now, years ago they were very common.

They used to be very common out here but they have slowly disapeared I really doubt you can find a operator that can operate one. I worked with one guy he bought a G660 brand new and operated the same machine for 25 years travelled all over h*lls half acre with it.

He laughed and said I have had this machine longer than my wives, it was unbeleiveable what he could do with the machine.

Gravel Rat. In the north east they are very common almost every large contractor has at least one.

Lots of great pics John, how do those old macks do? do they have much downtime? Have you owned them since new or did you build them? Any idea what it costs to do a restoration on an old RD?

thos trucks are nice. we bought them brand new. ran them as tractors for about 10 years then built the dump bodies in our shop and turned them into ten wheelers. they go just about anywhere. as far as rebuilding the last time they were done was in house so it wasn't too bad. they are real easy to work on. we have more trouble with the two granites then anything.

The Granite series trucks are tempermental, one of the companies that works this area has 4 of them all spec'ed the same but all have their own personalities. No truck shifts,steers or handles the same the drivers said it is like being with a different women you gotta learn what she wants
