Wow, that's a cool truck. Funny thing is it occurred to how much laundry would the mixer hold.

The shop doors are 10' x 10'. The mixer is 9'-8" tall and 9' wide. Yep, had plenty of room.

Nice video, looks like it's fun to drive! I was wondering the same thing John asked, did you get the concrete out of the drum?

I got a couple of the medium sized loose chunks out through the hatch. I have a larger air compressor coming so I can start chiseling away at that cured 1 yard mass at the bottom of the barrel, and needle scaling the outside. I swear it was never cleaned out the last few times it was used fifty odd years ago.

Did you try drilling any holes in the concrete to give it a place to fracture..?
