Hancock Scrapers


I know it's an oldy but I found a 292b for a insane $. Machine is tighter than some 90's machines I looked at. Old screaming 471, 75% chains & flights. Tires at 50% only rust was around battery box, has erops edges and bowl straight, few minor leaks. All sheet metal straight. I have a few jobs starting and need a second to the 613c. If the machine makes it 3 days it's paid for. Believe it or not I'm going to run this one myself. I think my guys won't care after hearing it run today. I ran it for about an hour today and to my suprise hydraulics were very responsive, not clunks or bangs it and out of gear. As tight as that neck was I would almost believe that the hour meter was right at 2600hrs. By the way one of those jobs the developer wants to pay the earthwork by the hour, he believes that some contractors might inflate yardage amounts in order to bill more
So this machine doesn't have to win any races. Oh well enough, I'm psyched.

By the way any sites for Hancock info or pictures Thanks
