    What do use to hide your equipment from the weather?

    For cheapness I'd go with a couple of the metal carport covers. Not very hurricane proof, but they will do great keeping the sun and weather off the equipment.

    Case 450 advice

    depending on how hard of dirt you are in 2" might be all you can peel at a time, but if you can do 2" for 50ft i'm sure you have a decent blade full of dirt. now back to the power problem. if you are on flat firm ground (not in mud) you should have no problem having one track in low and...

    2006 Bobcat T190 Turbocharger

    look at taking it to a good diesel pump and turbo shop for rebuilding, most likely going to be a lot cheaper, unless it is completely tore up.

    boom crack

    it's a pretty easy fix like everyone has said. just don't let anyone that thinks they know how to weld do it. get a really good welder to do it.

    Case 450 advice

    could have..... the one i rebuilt had one of the centers tore out of it and was well stuck to pressure plate and housing. to the point of having to hammer and chisel it apart. so i'm more of the opinion that the brakes where gettin really sticky and not releasing, then machine was parked for...

    Case 450 advice

    you can steer by running one side high and one side low, you can just put one in neutral and leave the other in hi or low. or once you get your brake system working you just press the correct peddle to turn. light peddle you dissengage the valve pack that it goes to the side (we'll say right...

    Case 450 advice

    it's been awhile since I rebuilt the brakes on a 450. the old 450's don't have clutches in them. they have a dual transmission in them. one for the left and one for the right, you have a two speed forward and reverse for control. the high low lever controls the main torque converter output to...

    Run from Ford 555a with welds on bucket linkage?

    I agree with KevD. Those welds are horrid! but nothing that a grinder and some proper welding can't fix. Fords are known to have stronger hydraulics then others which lead to more cracking then others. if it runs strong and the hydraulics are good, I'd say 6k would be a good deal I think.

    Excavator Redesign

    on the idea of an extending counter weight, what about a ZTR when the weight is in with some reduced capacity, then when you have room for swinging safely you could extend it out and have a more stable machine with more capacity.
