Idea on size

[W00DBar0n]

Just felt like giving you guys an idea the size of machines we work on(I avoid these trucks, I like tracked machines more)
This is a 797F, has less then 4000 hours, basically brand spanking new, had a tire fire in for repairs.

Do you life the tire onto the hub studs and hold it while your friend uses his 1/2″ drive impact driver to tighten them to 100 ft/lbs?

I did too, i remember the first 988 i worked on i was thinking to my self “How could it get much bigger then this?” Then i saw a 992, and that was big… then i saw a LeTourneau L-2350, then dragline shovel on the side of the road.
