Stockpiled gravel for Bucks Construction, now JMB CRUSHING.
Started in the Lacory pit were 100,000 yds. was crushed, then moved and
set up in the Ardmore pit where another 100,000 yds was crushed.

Fat Allis Loader and hydraulic grizzly.
Was driving a blue MACK with no brakes, but after an electrical fire under the dash used this truck.
There was an on /off switch on a pole to load from the surge bin.
Stockpiles were for sure 12 and 13 levels high.
Also shovelled around Crusher, helped change gravel screens, lace belts, change a cone liner, tighten cone periodically,
and do other repairs.
Crushed 24 hrs./day. When it's cold you could hardly see because of the "steam" from the moisture in the pitrun.
There were 5 gallon pails of diesel burning under a couple conveyer belts to keep the gravel from freezing to them.
In January it got colder than -25C and the Crusher shut down.
