Opened the hatch on the mixer barrel. Geez! About a half yard of cured and aged concrete in the head plus a couple of good sized loose slugs. I'm sure the PO has a good explanation.
So do you get to climb in there with the air hammer?
That's pretty much the tired and true solution. I've heard many a horror story about making the new guy crawl inside the drum to chip hardened concrete out.
If that is your only option, please wear hearing and eye protection along with a respirator and please make danged sure that there is no possible way for the drum to move.
Makes my POs use of roofing tar as a rust balm look much less weighty. Yours is a very heavy, very loud, very slow solving problem. I'm glad we have our best man on it.
I think your best option is make a plan of air hammer diagonal cuts and let it crack some lines to break and lose its hold. I did hear of someone cutting 12 inch I beam in one foot sections and turning it but i wouldn't try it with that nice truck.
Love you guys, you're a hoot. Yep, air chisel, hearing and eye protection, respirator, and locked in gear. First is to get the loose big chunks out after I chisel out the concrete around the hatch.
I feel for you man. Been there done that a time or two. You might be in the market for a needle scaler in the future. Ear plugs and muffs. 3 lb. sledge and some hand chisels too. Put a fan in one hole to keep fresh air coming in. Good luck and be safe.
