Hi. I’m Dick Eisert’s daughter. I saw where you located it in Smethport and I saw the guy posted his phone number I’m sure my brother Jim would be interested in seeing it when he comes to town but I can’t get back to the post. Can you send me the number and the guys name. I thought I posted to it but I can’t find that either
Thank you

Jerry Brenan from Eldred bought a D6 from across from Roundsy's Garage back in the late 80's. I know he was moving his Drill Rig with it and other Oilfield related work (I use to operate his old D6-5R). Jerry passed away about 10 years ago(?) Been so long now its hard to remember if it was an 8U or a 9U? Anyways after he died his daughter sold pretty much everything due to PA DNR harassment. Last I saw it was parked up Tram Hollow with a leaking head gasket. It was worn out in the undercarriage that much I do remember.
Terry, Hi! Welcome to an Olean person! Jan as you probably know is from Portville, while I am from Allegany. If I remember correctly John Williams from Allegany worked for your Dad for a while? If your Dad was the one that built Case Lake up in Franklinville back in the 1960's?

Hi guys. It’s nice to see some local folks. I own a 9U and I’m over in frewsburg. Near Jamestown.
Joel59,
I was hauling rip rap rock out of the woods west of Frewsburg along hwy. 60 and up to Lakewood for a creek lining job when I quit to go to work for Eisert Contracting in Olean. Before that in 1968, I helped stock a construction company's batchplant a little east of Frewsburg when they were paving a new road but not sure which one. We were hauling down Hwy. 62 from a pit near Leon. I remember having to dodge the Amish buggy's and skidding through wet horse manure with an empty dump trailer. Loads of fun! The buggies at the most were making 5 miles an hour and my Brockway was doing 50 or 55! Everyone one lived through it except for one rainy day when I hit a snake, a rabbit and a ground hog, all on the same trip down. As I watched in the mirror, the ground hog hesitated as the tractor passed but he never saw the rear trailer tandems! It was bad!
Thanks for saying hello.

Jan the fellow who drove the truck from PA to CA and brought you the D8 from Chum's was the same Bob who owns the Heiliner scraper, just a little known fact.

Hi Jeff
Yes he was. And thanks for the welcome. It’s quite interesting seeing where dad and Uncle Bill’s equipment have traveled. I actually was just messing around googling Eisert Contracting seeing what would pop up on the internet. I was surprised to find anything. But glad I did
