I took this interesting photo of the build up of lime dust on my bucket from Cabin Fever. I guess I moved about 4cy that weekend. I forgot to pickup on the bucket with my hand to see what a full bucket weighed with that wet stuff. I assume it was in the neighborhood of 13-14lbs.
That material was very wet deep inside the pile. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Yeah, my dozer and pan are caked up too.
It was nice finally seeing the 9 up close and being able to get the equipment together and move some dirt.

We finally weighed the 9W when we unloaded it from my trailer and I was pretty close estimating 175lbs. and it is exactly 180lbs. I figure about 25-30 more pounds of parts and she'll be complete. |

Steve. That's an easy fix, just put a small water canon on the machine. When they get out of hand a squirt or two usually puts the fire out. By the way the bucket looks good like that, sign of a working machine!
