    So I went up north to put in a new hydraulic filter, moved the 555 to a convenient spot and one of my bucket clam hoses blew! Haha, can't catch a break! So now I need to order a new hose. It's the one that goes to the lower end of the cylinder that operates the clam or thumb. I can't seem to...

    Case 310C what do I need to know?

    Howdy all, I bought a Case 310C. New to owning a crawler, wondering if there are any foibles or things I should look for? Or heck any stories about using these things? Was hoping to find a pdf of the operator/service manual, but no luck so far.

    Hello, I am new to these forums and new to using heavy equipment. I have a Cat D6 5R Ag crawler. I believe it is a 1946. So it is a 70+ year old tractor.
