Spent most of today working on the equipment. The bulldozer and front end loader were easy. The took right off as soon as we had fresh fuel in the tanks and the batteries charged up. The excavator proved a tough nut to crack. The left track was seized and we had to rock it loose, then several hoses on the boom arm split when we tested it. it’s a mess. We got some of it fixed but we’re short on hydraulic parts. The radio gov Rounds sent back with us hasn’t been set up yet so we cant ask. The mechs made the call to leave it for the next trip and move onto something else. They chose two. A light duty backhoe and a pavement chipper. The chipper choice I thought odd until they explained their main source of concrete had been old concrete they tear up and re-use. The chipper would make it easier to dig up. Those two were running in a short tiem as well. We had ot change the back tires on the backhoe as they were badly weather checked and poor. We’ll load everything tomorrow and get the truckers on their way.
