Would like to hear from any of you old guys that used to pump high rises with gate machines and have a hearing loss.  biloximike@aol.com

waadusay,pump off?

Wasn't just my hearing that took a beating.But I can change out gates in my sleep!

Those screaming deutz engines.  Loads of fun, rebuild gates after every pour.  Removing fuel tanks to get at blown hyd. lines.  Mix designs that only look good on paper and they wondered why we drank!!!  And the blow outs at the end of pours.  I need a leather couch and a bottle of whiskey.  Oh I almost forgot a tower that snapped the bolts and it leaned over, no remote I was standing on the catwalk running it manually.  Thank christ for coveralls it covered up the stain in my pants.  I have to stop now I'm starting to shake where's my whiskey?

Just think in a few years we will be asking for people going death because of the Mack Fans!!

that's a fact

I don't think there is anything louder than schwing 5000. Twin 914/913 series duetz powering the thing.
