    Hitachi 40 bucket shims

    By chance would anyone know the bucket pin size for a ZX40-3? It has a pin on bucket and either never got shimmed proper at last install or it's really worn. Bucket can move size to side easily 1/2". Trying to order a shim kit ahead of time and am 800 miles away for a couple weeks, do can't...

    1990 Mack RD wiring info

    Anyone know where I can find wiring diagrams for a 1990 Mack RD? Someone, or several people butchered a bunch of wiring. I’ve removed most of the added stuff... complete with house wiring, extension cord, black taped splices, etc. Still have no headlights other than there's a "courtesy flash"...

    Back Up Cameras

    Anything decent that isn't $500+? Thinking about one for my big dump truck. And before I get "HEY BOYYYY, REAL MEN USE MIRRORS AND CAN BACKUP 6 TRAILERS AT 60MPH UPHILL IN A BLIZZARD" good for you. I have a cheapo on a small dumptruck and it's slightly better than nothing. Terrible delay...

    Vertical lift so has the black bars to hold the back lift frame. I've found these used fir sale, but trying to see if there's a bushing i can replace, or even a new end to weld in?

    Hitachi crane mode

    What does "crane mode" do on a Hitachi excavator? Not sure what other machines have it, but my ZX40-3 does. Only thing I can tell is it makes an amber strobe come on. Has a bubble level off the armrest, I'd guess for crane work?? Has a built in hook off the H link. The info I can find is...

    Trying to source a cap for a 30 gallon tank that has a ~5psi relief instead of free venting. Cap is the type with a basket filter to fill, though I could weld that up and use something else. Any ideas?

    Bobcat S250 filters

    Was looking up filters. Wix is generally good for filter listi g, especially on commonish equipment. Any idea what the hydraulic filter is? The only one I know of is behind the cab, have to tilt it. Wix shows that as the trans filter.

    Grousers on over tire tracks?

    I have a "cheap" set of over tire tracks (ott) on my S250. Basically 2 chains with bent 1/2" plate "pads" running on the tires. I think 16 pads on each side. Pics here: https://tractiontracks.com Has worked great, way better than tires, aside from ice. Awesome in snow though. Machine is...

    Tilt trailer loading edge

    Bought a cream pie of a tilt trailer at RB auction in December. Early 80s Miller 25k tilt deck. Problem is the loading edge is full thickness of the deck, so maybe 8". Wouldn't figure that to be an issue, but even with my skid steer I have to bump it hard or try and nose wheelie it. Forget it...

    Huber Maintainer

    Have a 1960s? Huber Maintainer. It's sort of a tractor/finish grader, often used by asphalt contractors. I bought it mostly to grade my driveway and "lay down yard" (ie where the RB auction finds gets stored haha) It has 23.1x26 "turf" tires that are completely useless. May be orginal to the...

    Gasboy diesel pump

    Have a 1000 gallon diesel tank I setup this fall. Tank hadn't been used in probably a decade and was bone dry. The pump worked fine after filling the tank, but was leaking between the pump body and motor and getting worse each use. Like a gallon or two leaking while pumping 40 or 50 gallons...

    BOBCAT SEAT COVER?

    Anyone know a seat cover that'll fit an S250 seat? The vinyl cracked a while back, I put "vinyl repair tape" on it to get a bit more life. Well, it fixed the seat, but the tape glue warms up and sticks my pants to the seat, not to mention leaving black lines all over my butt. Ruined my 1...

    Mitsubishi 5k worehouse forklift

    FD25? I think they call it. It's early-mid 90s, has a 4G52 engine. What's the proper hydraulic oil for it? It was fine this summer, but now that it's winter, it's super slow to lower. Even with a few hundred lbs on the tines. Thinking of draining the tank and adding ISO15 hydraulic oil. I...
