Once a month, we invite you to take a look at what’s going on at H&R and to see what happened last month from the small celebrations we had to the big projects we completed. Ever wanted to get an inside look at H&R? This is your chance. These are our Big Shots from October.

It’s going to be all hands on deck for salvaging this gigantic Caterpillar 390F excavator. This baby is big.
Two giant Cat excavators in the yard in one month! Here, you can see it can take a whole team to get these big machines off the transport truck and lined up for salvage.
This cylinder is fresh from salvage and a technician is taking notes for inspection. The housing looks pretty solid, but just like the main character in every inspirational animated movie discovers at the end: It’s really what’s on the inside that counts.
This 544K wheel loader is just a shell of its former self.
These planetary gears are looking nice and shiny and the whole part is ready to be closed-up, painted, and shipped out to a waiting customer.
On a nice fall day in Teardown you get to work with the big doors open. It’ll be snowing in Buffalo in no time, so it’s good to get it while you can.
A parts tech is swinging this valve into place with the help of one of the overhead cranes.
This was early in the month — this Komatsu excavator has already been through Teardown and it yielded some great parts. (Infomercial Voice) And those parts could be yours with one simple phone call.
Surprise, it's TWINS! In one of the Recon and Rebuild shops we're rebuilding two identical 988G transmissions at the same time.
And that’s a wrap … on this big slewing ring shipping out from the H&R warehouse.
