    Wheel loader buckets

    I have a rookie question. We just got a Cat 916, bucket is useable, but would like to get a quick connect and use other attachments. I see buckets and quick connects advertised for Cat 938's, 936's, 926's,etc. Are buckets that machine specific? I realize that there are some machines that have a...

    Anybody ever done this?

    I have a friend that has a Cat 920. There is about 11'6" from the pins to the ground at max height. It would be real handy if the pins were around 12'6" to fill the new feed trucks. Has anyone ever extended the booms? or seen the booms extended. He is loading cattle feed so there isn't a lot of...

    Backhoe snowplow wing

    I came across an idea I thought was so good, I needed to share it with the forum. I've never seem this idea before, if it's old news, humor me. A friend plows alot of roads with a blade on the front of his hoe and was tired of making several passes. He took an old pickup snowplow blade and...

    ASV Control conversion

    A friend just bought a ASV 4810 and was wondering if there is a conversion made, or how big a job it would be to swap out the 2 lever drive controls of the 4810 and replace it with the joystick controls of the newer RC machines? Could it be done, and could you afford it? Is it a...

    Case 580 (not-so) Super D

    Well we fianlly got the backhoe running on all 4 and it sounds great. Thanks to all who helped. Now that it is running a couple of other problems reared their ugly head. We checked the fluid on the front planetaries and found one dry and rusty, how it didn't blow up when I was driving it is...

    JRB Quick Couplers

    I am curious about these. If you have a JRB on your loader, can you use any attachment that has a JRB hookup on the back? I saw a bucket that was advertised from a JD with JRB connection and one for a Cat 416 , will these buckets fit any JRB equiped machine, or are they machine and JRB...

    Snowblower

    Does any one have any experience with 3 point snowblowers? I see so many different designs, I suppose they all work to some degree or another, are some better suited to hard drifts, some to fresh snow? I found some with 2 augers(Intenational, JD), 1 big auger(Loftness), one that has big...

    Case 580 Super D backires

    Hi, I need some new brains working on this. I got this backhoe and it was only running on 3 cylinders and I paid accordingly. I took the valve cover off to find that the pushrod was stuck beside the #3 intake rocker. I thought easy fix. I placed unbent pushrod correctly, adjusted the clearance...

    Cat 916

    Does anyone have any experience with this model? Any problems? It seems that it was produced from 87-92 and then disappears. Cat mechanic guessed that it was too close to another better selling model and it got rolled into something else. I am looking at 920's but guy down the road has one of...
