    Cummins new gas engine

    The school district where I live has phased out diesels for their school busses and are now powered by propane. The diesels were just getting too costly to run with all the emissions repairs. The Bluebird chassis use Ford engines, either the V10 or the 7.3 Godzilla depending on the age. They...

    Medium duty truck questions

    I've always been a fan of Ford trucks and the Cummins/Allison combo is a proven drivetrain in any truck. I have heard issues about some of the brake systems Ford used, some are both problematic and difficult to get parts for. I'd check on that with this truck.

    Would you buy an International VT365?

    A buddy of mine had one set up as a dump with the 365. I borrowed it once when my truck was down and I was pretty impressed! Hauled a full load of item 4 up a long steep hill very respectfully. He didn't have any trouble with that truck the entire time he had it while the 530 was constantly in...

    Brazilian landclearing youtube channel

    I watched the video with the drag chain and I have to wonder what the objective is? It doesn't seem like much of the vegetation is being uprooted and I would guess a couple weeks or a month later the vegetation would be standing back up and continuing to grow. Do they come through with a brush...

    Anyone else have trouble with the spell correction on this forum?

    Are you using your phone or a P/C to post? If a phone, it's likely the phone doing it, not our site. I use my laptop to post here and don't experience autofill at all.

    Sander

    Sell the spreader for whatever you can get for it and pick up a used electric spreader if you really need one. What you're attempting is a lot of time, effort and funds to make something that won't work as well.

    Really BAD Day

    We had something similar happen in my area a couple years ago, a driver in a dump trailer had a medical incident and drove the truck through an area bar that I frequented. It was about 11am on a weekday morning before the bar had opened. The owner had been sitting there doing paperwork but for...

    cat skid steer axle makes clicking noise

    Could be a number of things, bearing, chain slop, loose lugs. You'll have to listen closer and narrow it down.

    Coworker passed away

    Sorry to hear about your friend. When you reach a certain age you start to realize every day is a gift. I've come to that time. As sad as this is it's not such a bad way to go. Try to take comfort in that. God bless!

    Broken bolt / stud extraction methods - share some new ideas

    I've also had good results with the welding method, even when the bolt is broken off below the surface. If you clean the top of the stud as best you can you can build it up with a MIG to where it protrudes and then weld a nut to the stem you've built. I fill the center of the nut and get it real...

    Solar battery tender or trickle charger recommendations?

    I bought a Battery Tender brand solar maintainer and was very disappointed with it. I had it in a truck that wasn't used regularly and the batteries still went dead. One year Sam's Club had an after Christmas clearance sale on Stanley battery maintainers (plug in) and I bought several. I have a...

    new holland/sany

    Sany doesn't have a real good reputation on the forums. New Holland is an established company. I'd locate the closest dealer for each and check them out, what kind of service will their parts department offer? Eventually you'll need them.
