Cement Mixer Bucket Attachments (Eterra, Wolverine)?
Thanks all for the input, y'all have got me thinking I should definitely talk with the premix company further. It's true that I like doing things myself, but I realize this is a huge project and I don't want to be stupid about it. I'm gonna need to hire help no matter what anyhow (which I'm...- roachven7

Cement Mixer Bucket Attachments (Eterra, Wolverine)?
The pour is 2 miles up an extremely rutted old logging trail. I was told it would be approximately 60 yards of concrete in about 6 trucks coming from a plant 80 miles away. I might be able to convince the first truck to come up the trail, but I doubt they would make a second trip. I plan to...- roachven7

Cement Mixer Bucket Attachments (Eterra, Wolverine)?
I’m planning to pour a 40’x72’ slab in a location a cement truck will not come to. I’ve been looking into buying a skid steer concrete mixer bucket similar to this https://www.skidsteersolutions.com/mix-and-go-mini-skid-steer-cement-mixer-eterra/ Anyone used one of these or the larger model of...- roachven7

Any good guess what it would weigh without that giant chunk of metal? Any other opinions? Thanks -
Empty weight? 97 Ford L8000 8.3L Cummins old county plow truck
I guess What I meant by "just bought" was that I bought it this past winter..... hence the snow in the pictures....hehe. Just now getting around to transferring the title. Thanks all for answers... I will probably just go with 21,000 since that seems about right? -

Empty weight? 97 Ford L8000 8.3L Cummins old county plow truck
So I just bought a 97 Ford L8000 8.3L Cummins single axel old county plow truck to haul gravel and plow my 2 mile driveway.... I figured it'll barely be on public roads but I'm best off going ahead and transferring the title over to my name just in case I ever sell it..... So I go in and they... -
89 JD 550 Too much transmission fluid... any Advice?
Hey all, thanks as always for repiles! Rick, I did follow the manual and check it with it resting on top of the fill tube. John thanks for explaining the washer, also yes the machine does have a torque converter and that is exactly what the mechanic at the John Deere dealership told me. He... -

89 JD 550 Too much transmission fluid... any Advice?
OK so it’s winter again and I’m back with more questions about this dang dozer…. Apparently according to JD it is a 1987 550B Crawler Dozer (I was told 89 when I bought it)…. So I finally got around to changing the transmission/clutch steering fluid. I let it drain overnight to make sure all the... -
Coolant exchange/transfer system for heating up diesel dozer in winter?
Hey everyone, thanks for all the ideas and input! Sounds like it can be done anyhow.... Crane operator, would the jumper hoses just always have coolant in them? Otherwise would there be a problem with air in the system? Anyone have any more details on the plumbing etc for this sort of set up... -
Coolant exchange/transfer system for heating up diesel dozer in winter?
So we bought an 89 JD 550b Dozer last year and plan on plowing snow with it this winter. We live off-grid 2 miles up an old unmaintained logging road. Last winter I had a lot of trouble starting it when it got much below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We live in northern MN so we regularly get low... -
89 JD 550 Too much transmission fluid... any Advice?
OK I think I figured it out...... The dipstick says something like "check with engine running at high idle", which I did. I don't think there's anything on the other side, since I've checked it over a dozen times. I think I found out how it go too much fluid in it though.....:tong As I... -
89 JD 550 Too much transmission fluid... any Advice?
STILL WAY too much fluid! SO…. Of course I got way too busy to actually get anything done before the holidays. We just got home from our holiday rounds of visiting family and (not surprisingly) we've got an extra 2 feet of snow since we were gone that I need to clear out with the dozer asap…... -
89 JD 550 Too much transmission fluid... any Advice?
Yep, it was running when I checked it.... I think that suck bucket is just what I need! And I got everything to make it on hand here so I don't gotta order a pump or run to town either (running to town is quite an ordeal with our road in it's current state). Thanks to all who replied... -
89 JD 550 Too much transmission fluid... any Advice?
Howdy everyone, I suppose I'm about as green as they come. New to the forum, new to heavy equipment and a beginner mechanic..... So please be patient and sorry if I ask stupid questions. My family and I live 2 miles back on an old logging road that has never been maintained. We've just...
