Good luck to you, Be safe out there !

That looks familiar Dick, I just did the same job on my newly acquired 200-3 yours looks much easier with the help of a second excavator, I used a makeshift engine hoist in the back of my pickup, I had heard horror stories about the bolts holding the swing drive assembly in place, others back east t...

Another point I thought was worth a mention, when I got the Starlink working at camp it worked great… inside of camp (a metal sided trailer) but did not work very well outside in the camp yard, the router signal was weak and not liking the metal siding on camp, a few weeks later I moved the Starlink...

The feeder has the curved belt rollers, the hopper has belting bolted on it at about the same angle as the conveyor belt and overlaps several inches, the gravel lays on the “curtains” attached to the hopper making a seal of sorts, water takes the path of least resistance and most of it drains into t...

All, I purchased my first Starlink last year (12-22) to try out at my home address before moving it to my mining address, at home there were obstructions and they did cause some brief interruptions… overall it was acceptable and very fast, in March of 23 I moved it to the mine site and hoped it woul...
