Little Grinder Work.

admin

The root rake will have to wait for a few days. I'll be working in Charlotte, NC at the other yard. I have to gouge and re-plate a grinder. Man the piles were steaming in the cool air this morning. The boys went up last week and tore it apart and pressure washed it for me. Pic 3 is the grinder head setting on the ground. This is one of the larger 1500hp grinders.
