We may need some pieces of 3/8 plywood for the rock crusher. Dragline rebuild has taken way longer than I imagined not leaving me a clear mind to build the ramp and larger hopper to accommodate the big 785 Kiitty truck. I figure plywood will work till a better steel ramp is fabricated. My idea is to cover the electric motor and have it concealed under the dirt pile since it's way out of scale and it will make the conveyor have a clearer shot under crusher to pile up whatever we crush. Stevie and I had a talk about it this morning. He may have some cement blocks to build a wall we may need.

I'll get some sizes and maybe you can rough cut some pieces.
I don't have any plywood at my shop. Only some 1/4" Luan.

Bo, Here is all I need:
3 pieces 24" x 32"
1 Piece 24" x 24"
I will try to make the hopper out of steel and attach to the wood. Basically the crusher needs to sit inside the three sided wood box cover that will be buried in the dirt pile.
The trucks can back up to the hopper on the plywood. Maybe some type of guard rail that Cooper's 785 can fit between. Stevie had a nice setup on his bridge guard rails bevel cut to look like Jersey Barriers last year.

Bo and the rest of the gang,

Looks like I might make it to Lebanon mid afternoon WEDNESDAY. the flying forecast doesn't look as good on Thursday so I'm going to head out Wednesday and hope to find a place to stay. I have reservations starting Thursday nite at the holiday inn.
