MRS scraper - Mississippi Road Service built 'er for the Navy, in 1967- Sorry, forgot to snap a pic -
This buggy has 4 rubber wheels. 2 in front. ( Empty Wt. 36k# !! ) 18 yds.
Anyway, are any parts available?
The collar, bolted under the big gooseneck, and holding on to a big 12"? ball, is cracked.
Even worse, the dump linkage is busted...
Looks like somethin bound up and broke the 6-ft. cylinder, which has been fixed,
but the curved track going up the back of pan is bent up, flange is wrinkled,
which caught the little 4-in. clamping rollers, and broke em clean off.
(Luckily, the cylinder didn't bust again!!!)
The wide roller against the outside of curved track seems OK.
The whole design is a mystery, any one know how it works?
Does the bucket hinge near the blade? And the whole load gets heaved up and forward?
All that action from the cylinder between the back wheels?
The cylinder pins directly to a pair of 16-in. square plates, which seem new (shop-built).
Also 2 new shop-built arms, maybe 6-ft. long, pin onto plates and run way down under pan.
But may have been involved with curved track gettin twisted?
OK- why not re-mount cylinder so no linkage is needed?
Instead of pushin straight forward, move the base down & forward, then push on a 45-deg. angle... up against back of pan.
No, leave base where it is, but elevate ram 5 ft.
No, get a 2 or 3-stage dump-truck cylinder....
Hmmm... Time to start drawing !!
