    Small Stick Welder

    Correct its a little mig running .030. But I tell you its a magical little machine. I had broken roller bolts on a D6H yesterday and instead of burning my expensive arctec uni-chrome rod I just used my little mig. By no means is it a power house but has it unique places.

    Small Stick Welder

    Here is my go to little machine. I have it in a plastic action packer ridding around in the back of the service truck. Instead of like everyone says stringing our the cables it’s just a simple extension cord. I plug it into my eco plug on the Miller 305 and it doesn’t even rev the welder up. I...

    Lower cost fuel...

    I’m sure it’s in the works to get shut down. I heard a rumour that 16,000 people getting sent out of mc Murray. The camps were doing all the distancing precautions ex: bringing food to your room, everyone had a certain time slot to leave their room ect. Then all of a sudden they just pulled the...

    Lower cost fuel...

    Unbelievable prices. But the sad part is that all the guys/girls working oilfield are out of work in town. And if they are working there has been pay cuts. When your area relies on the oil and gas industry it’s kind of a bad thing to see low fuel prices because you know your just waiting for a...

    Cat 950 F loader leaking oil from starter flange

    I’ve done several on d6t’s. The bottom two are easy but the one at the top is a night mare. I reposition the nose cone one set of holes, roll the motor and solenoid to allow more clearance between the starter and block. Makes life so much easier. The only way possible to get it off I find is a...

    This is very common. I believe the part number for the balls are 3T-3434 if I remember correctly. Simply just remove the with a o-ring pick and then put some coper coat on the new ones and push them in.

    Equalizer bar and hard nose pin repair on D6H XL

    D6H has no pivot shaft seals to worry about like the larger dozers. you can raise the nose until your segments hit the roller frames. if you need extra room you can remove a section of segment to get more clearance, but you should not have to. although check to make sure that there is oil in...
