    From Desk Job to Diesel: Chasing My Childhood Dream

    Nige could help better than I can, with me looking in from the outside. As you indicated programming and electrical work, the large off hiway trucks are electric drive. How is your industrial electronics knowledge ? Can you work on power electronics ? IIRC the Cat literature is showing 2300...

    What can you tell me about this r.g. blueprint?

    It's an assembly drawing. I don't see any dimensions in which you could make parts for it. Probably was sent out to the customer when they bought the plow kit.

    Transformer Move Through My Town

    Used to see one like that once in awhile going into Erie Press systems. They build and re-build giant presses, like the kind you see stamping auto hoods, and forging press's. IIRC it was 250 tons. A double gooseneck affair, could have been rated at much more, as 250 tons is not really much in...
