    Found one of my leaks….

    I can drain the tank easily, I think I will do that and see if I can get a small torch in there to burn the fluid away, then clean real well with brake clean…epoxy and see if it holds…muh job is getting in the way of my fun time tho

    I cannot get to the spot to weld it without pulling it…I may could clean and epoxy it in place

    Is explosion an issue of a drained tank?

    Found one of my leaks….

    That was what I thinking…drain the tank so it doesn’t seep, clean really well

    Found one of my leaks….

    On my komatsu d41s3 I had a mystery leak on the hydraulic rank area. Turns out it is the tank itself. You can see where the fluid had washed away the dirt, I cleaned it and literally watched the fluid seep through the metal. I am guessing a hair line crack I cannot see. Is the only repair...

    wrench set / braker bar / impact sockets

    I have yet to break harbor freight big wrenches or 3/4” socket set with an impact wrench. If i did it regularly I would invest in good tools but I rarely use them

    Has anyone ever fabricated a blade to bolt on to a track loader?

    Not a bad idea, my loader pins and bushings are all new

    Has anyone ever fabricated a blade to bolt on to a track loader?

    My bucket has big teeth so backing in float shreds the ground…this is sort of what I was thinking

    Has anyone ever fabricated a blade to bolt on to a track loader?

    Just farm use, my roads are going to crap with all of the rain…seems a dozer would fix it ricky tick but I have a loader…thinking about buying a piece of maybe i beam..not sure something I could bolt onto the bucket for road smoothing…maybe I just need more experience running what I have

    Cat 933 realistic capabilities

    I have a similar situation, farm use, etc. I got a Komatsu d41 which is 24,000lbs, for clearing I wish it was bigger But it does OK, it will dig a livestock grave in minutes though.

    Help me push trees over and not die

    Jet A is considerably cheaper but you burn a lot more and the mx costs go up a lot….way lot. It is a rich mans game. Brake job is 100+k on what I fly for my job

    Help me push trees over and not die

    I am such a chicken I don’t think I would run a topless machine. I really don’t know much about what I am doing either

    My buddy has a 414 ram 4 with winglets. Very nice machine but 40 gallons an hour at avgas prices is $$$$$$$$$$
