    I got the front differential on my wheel loader out and the gears are heavily rusty and pitted. So I need to rebuild it which is close to impossible without having specs/manual. There are usually special procedures on getting the pinion and wheel aligned. Anybody can help ? Joe

    Clark 55, anybody has a shop manual l?

    The saga continuous with my Clark 55B. Now the mid mount bearing assembly is toast. I took it apart and the bearings turned into grinded dust, amazing that it still kind of worked. I have the parts manual but no shop/maintenance manual. There are shims I need to put in and I do not know the...

    I have an old P&H TC 440 crane. The manual says that for a 100' boom, I have to do sequence 20' Base, 10', 20', 30' 20' Tip. I only have two good usable segments and guy lines. Why is is 10/20/30 and not 30/30 ? Manual says max 50' of add ons can be cantilevered, but that does not work either...

    How to move crane truck with 100 foot boom at construction site

    I have an old P&H 440TC lattice boom crane. I need to move around on the construction site and do not want to unmount the boom every time. I see that crawler trains always move around, so I assume this should work with a crane truck ? What is the usual procedure for such ? The terrain has...
