    John Deere 310 turbo

    I have a 310 with the 3-164 engine and wonder if Deere ever made a turbo version of that engine. I’m thinking the N/A 16:1 comp could handle a turbo as is. Anyone who’s ran one of these knows how sluggish a 50 hp backhoe is as a loader. I would even entertain cutting up a 6 cyl. manifold so...

    Carrying metric and inch wrenches

    I often have wondered how it is in other parts of the world, do you cuss when you run on to US built machines and have to break out those crazy inch wrenches and sockets? As an old man I have grudgingly bought my metric wrenches and sockets and taps and dies, and I can measure in metric, I just...

    90 psi on your air tools?

    I was waiting on the compressor to almost shut down trying to get max pressure to get a lug nut off of a Advance mixer when I thought who, if anyone runs the recommended pressure. I know all my pressure switches have been tampered with to hit 180 psi at least.

    New Holland L-35 specs

    I have a l-35 with a scattered motor or really no motor at all. I’m planning on a Diesel engine repower in the future and am curious what the stock power rating was and if it was up to the task. I’m sort of a machinery hot rodder so work with me here! It also has mismatched tires on it, what...

    Old Lincoln Welder

    I was back in the shop burning some rods(a/c obviously) and wondered who is still using something similar in age or older? I bought this as is for $20.00 from one of our drivers and it just won’t quit, smooth and quiet as a mouse. Let’s see your machines.

    Throwing away new bolts

    I was recently at one of our sister garages and out of habit looked in the steel scrap bin (don't you judge me). Lo and behold was about two buckets full of new bolts of random sizes dumped in there. I couldn't help myself and went off on the guys there and they told me they were "cleaning up...

    A question for the indy mechanics

    What do you guys do for health care insurance? I've had a lot of calls lately for short work and have entertained the thought of going on my own. I believe there is enough work to make decent money at but the insurance keeps me where I'm at for now. Let's keep this civil and non political, I...

    Repowerguy's crane repower

    Follow along ladies and gentlemen for my latest (Mis)adventure as I repower a Drott carry deck. I will take a dead Case gas motor out and fabricobble a Perkins 4.203 diesel in its place. This won't be fast as this is a side job, but please be patient with me as we move along.

    Combination wrench rolls

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for roll up pouches for wrenches. The one I have now is 3/8"-11/4" and the field use and service truck riding around have pretty much worn it out. I like just grabbing the whole set and taking it out to the job. What do you all think?

    Massey Ferguson loader

    Has anyone ever heard of Shawnee Manufacturing? I've had this ole gal for awhile and am gonna get her running again. It's on a TO 35 tractor without a pto or a internal hyd pump. I've not used it in 10 years because my JD 310 is a lot better machine. Does anyone know if the ring gear and...

    Hydraulic oil change or just a filter

    I currently work for a ready-mix co. and run a outpost garage. The main garage insists on a hyd. system drain and filter change at 1000 hour intervals on mixers. I contend that a filter change at the 500 hour service mark with the oil top off is better because the oil is already cleaner than...

    Equipment dealers who have gone on

    I responded to a thread about Cat dealers and it made me think of some dealers who have closed for whatever reason. What are some old dealers you can think of?

    Turboing a UD236 IH diesel

    I have a low hour UD236 that I am thinking of grafting a H1c turbo onto. I wanted a 4bt for a repower but got to thinking I have a motor already. These old motors were low compression so I think it would take a few psi. Does anyone have any experience doing something similar to this? I would be...
