As I've probably stated or overstated I've been shopping for a Ford F550 with little promise for quite awhile. (I'm really cheap er... frugal.) I have come across several ads recently for International 4700 lo pro's or LPX's. The IH trucks in question were 7.3 IH with allison autos. The GVWR...

The vehicle is a '99 F350 with original tow package. There's a factory square plug for the original tow package 7 wire RV plug (missing). Someone added a 7 wire plug in the bed for a gooseneck hitch. What I want to do is retain the bed 7wire, and add another 7wire to the bumper without...

As promised, I rebuilt 2 rams on the 580 over the last couple days and took a couple photos of the pieces and parts to give an idea of what's inside. This first one is what the inside looks like when the end is unscrewed and pulled out. This pic is actually after I got it back together. I...

I've got an outrigger cylinder apart on the Case 580D to replace seals and as of yet I haven't taken the bolt off the end as..... well I can't get it out yet. My question is the bolt left hand thread or just on there really tight? I've got some pb blaster working it's magic now so I'll try...

Re: \"Bad Boy\" ZTR mowers... My uncle had one while he was mowin' for money. They rarely had any problems. If they did, they took it back to the factory that's around 60miles from here and they fixed it right up. Best I remember, theirs had a 23hp Kawaski (sp?) on it. I never heard him...

How slow must one travel for proper harley rake use? My current tractor will travel 0.8 mph in its' lowest gear. I'm researching another tractor which goes 1.8 mph in its' lowest gear. Opinions?

I was curious; What is the speed of the lowest gear? I think the tractor is near perfect size and power wise but it needs to go slow enough for a harley or possibe tiller. I've seen a post with the proper info but I can't find it now. TIA...

Evening all... I've begun to shop at various trailer dealers for a gooseneck, Probably dual tandem... I'll need a hitch, B&W turnover ball. So far pretty straight forward... Brake controller... I was thinkin' prodigy and then I found this: Brakesmart Seems highly recommended on the RV...

The local highway is in the process of being widened. This equipment junkie is lovin' it. I spied this big boy as they were getting it ready to work but forgot the camera. I found it again a few days later and here it is. This is a Cat 385, 500hp and 90 tons of beauty. That's a 7-8 yard...

Since many seem to be having snow (and snow removal) er..uh... events, I thought I would post pics I've been holding awhile of a mega snowblower. These were custom made for Winter's Rigging in PA. I snagged them off another public site awhile back from an employee of Winter's. This is a...

An accident happened at my work this week. I wasn't there so I don't know all the ins and outs, but here's the short version. At the big box, a forklift must have a spotter where customers are present. Two guys were moving sheetrock with our large lift which weighs around 11,500 pounds...

Since a few here share my dozer fetish, I thought I would share my treasure. These were posted on the antique caterpillar site awhile back and since it's snowing outside, what better time to share. This is one of 3 specially built D8s left on Antartica still working, the oldest being a 1957...

I was just looking at the Freedom Hitch website and I am intrigued by this device. I searched the archives for awhile but I didn't find the answers to two questions: 1. Does the unit self center to a certain extent? It seems to me that the meshing triangles would shift the implment 2-3 inches...

Let's see now, Where to begin... Guess we'll start with Case/drott. Here's a Drott 50. 4-53 Detroit diesel. 1yd If I remember. Case later completely absorbed Drott and made machines until the late 80's as the 980 and 1080 Case excavators.

And larger...

Agco bought the designs and factory for the large, track, Challengers and a big new dealer network and Cat gets a rebadged ag machinery line. So, when looking for info for Challenger, just figure out which agco machine it is and look that up.
