The Resurrection

Today was the day of the resurrection. Finally, Hercules lives on and runs once again!

Earlier in the day Kevin, our diesel specialist prepared the engine for transport out to the shed, then Dave used the counter weight of the chipper, to bring it out for the installation into the frame.



Here they are, hard at work, but the big question is if this crank is the right one this time so it will run?


It was a tense moment and Bob, who stopped by to help, and I had our fingers and toes crossed. It must have helped, because after two cranks of the ignition, it fired right up. Problem, what problem?

The running was short lived when a hose broke, but that's just a minor issue. We still have three happy mechanics, especially the one in the middle!



Time to get back to work Herc!
