    Which hoist is better scissor of 3 stage cylinder?

    I have a sissor lift on my F600 single axle dump truck. It's requires greesing it every day that I use it. Off the top of my head, I think there are ten zirk fittings. You have to have the bed up to greese it, and I use bot a fixed and flexibe tip grease gun to do this. Twice now, I've had...

    Hitatchi ex120 please help diagnose

    Sounds like what happened with my Case 1550 dozer. It worked great for awhile, but then one day, the left track didn't respond right away. Then it started doing the oposite of what I wanted it to do. Then it got to the point that it didn't work at all. It wasn't consistant, some days I'd work...

    Hoover Dam Bypass pics

    I never heard of this and enjoyed seeing the pictures. One thing that I never thought of, but noticed, was the porta potties. Obviously, you need a place to go when it's that time. I wonder if they have them at every location, or if they just take care of business where they are and anybody...

    letourneau

    I picked up his biography at a garage sale a few years ago, and couldn't put the book down. It turns out that I grew up in the area where he did allot of his early dirt work and created his machines. The Holt Cat in San Leandro was less then a mile from my house. Anyway, reading that book and...

    Equipment of the future will have?

    I'd like to see more versitility in a backhoe. I've added skid steer quick attach to mine and it's now ten times the machine it was before. I can take off my bucket and put on pallet forks or my grapple in a few minutes, then do work with it that was impossible before. I'm thinking of a way to...

    A Couple Videos

    Fun vids. How about some details on the pond? How big will it be? How Deep? How tall and wide will the dam be? I think that building by 4 acre pond was one of my all time greatest achievements. It was definitely my biggest undertaking, and now a few years later, it's still shocking to see it...

    FD7 repower

    I'm interested in your rebuild and following along with your progress. One thing that I'd caution is to change or modify anything. I learned the hard way that it's very rare to outsmart the people who built it on what works best. Build it stock and you'll avoid allot of headaches down the...

    A few Cat 235 pictures

    Interesting. Are they just abandoned and sitting there? What were you doing there? fishing? It's too early in the year for hunting, but I know some of the Outfitters spend allot of time in the spring and summer getting camp ready for hunting season. Eddie

    House Demolition - Aussie style

    Great thread and very informative. I thought the same thing as some of the others in that it was a shame to destroy that old building, but after reading the replies and what it takes to fix them, realized it was the smart thing to do. I know that if it was on my land, I'd remove it too. As a...

    square pipe????

    A fried of mine had some land on the Pleasonton Ridge. The park was trying to take it from him and they were fighting legal battles with them for years. One of their gimmicks was to accuse him of endangering a certain type of salamander. A quick search of information about that salamander...

    John Deere 850B dozer?

    I did this about four years ago, so I don't remember exactly how long it took to put it all back together. I replaced the filters and soaked the hoses in diesel, then I filled them with clean diesel and blew them out with my air hose. I did the same with the hard lines that didn't come off. I...

    John Deere 850B dozer?

    I have a Case 1550 dozer and it has the same Sundstrand hydraulic pumps in it as the 850 Deere. I don't know what model 850 they were used in, but it is hydrostatic drive. When I lost control of one of my pumps, I was told by Case that they no longer support those pumps and that a retrofit...

    New Hitachi EX3600

    Probably not allot of people who have even seen something that big, much less operated one. Me for one!!! LOL Just how big is it? What is involved in putting it together? I bet it would make a great episode on Discovery. If you can, I'd sure enjoy seeing pictures of it being assembled...
