It's been like this since day one. ( the tractor is a 2011 ) You can see the witness marks on the gasket where it was clamped out of shape between the castings. It started as a slow drip that I noticed in early summer and by the time I got my hay in the barn it was pissing fluid everywhere...

This is the part in question. You can see the deformity in two places. I don't know how it ever not leaked.

Long time no post... I'm in a bind. I'm looking for a cross reference for Bobcat PN# 6697252, Gasket, for the hydrostatic assembly. It goes between the Front Cover casting and the pump body. Bobcat CT235 SN# A9JY11001 & above. Hopefully Kioti still carries the part, but I don't have a...

Buy a simple infrared gun and take measurements on the head. You do want the oil temperature up high enough to boil off any moisture.

Ford Brings 218 F-15 Power Stroke Diesel to Detroit Auto Show

Funny, I stumbled across this not five minutes after reading this thread.

This is what we use. 2011 IH 4400 with a 20,000 lb rear axle, air brake, air ride, air suspended cab. It is still a rough sob to ride in and I would not be happy using it for daily duties. It was $90K new plus the custom deck. If you're going to use a gooseneck or a fifth wheel over a flat deck...

Surprised this hasn't been up here yet. Not sure what Nissan was doing when they tuned the diesel, but it got smoked by the new version of the 5.6 Gas motor... Over a minute faster up the hill with the same load! Plus they had to keep lifting to stay under the speed limit.... hmmm....

I'm a little late to this, but I use a pallet jack. Very easy to manipulate the tire, but you have to be careful that it doesn't topple over when wheeling around. And the floor has to be smooth.

From the Deline NWT ice road this week. They had just lifted the load ban on the road that morning.

Seems timely...

This is a 20+5... I would encourage you to get at least 2 more feet on the deck. Very difficult to get the proper tie down angles on this short of a deck. Two 10 K axles are a little light for your application. You'll also want 12~14 ply tires for your weight.

Re: This is what I ended up with.... Thank you all!...Learned something too. You'll need to get some angle on the front links. The machine is free to move rearwards as you have it. Also the bucket has to be anchored entirely to the deck... not back to the machine. If you can get a solid...

Did mine today too...

That is all I have to say...

Lol... our JRT was the first ever failure with a very well respected trainer here. It was pretty interesting to see this guy lose his cool with Ignatius Maximus....

It's war :censored:!! Never get used to the onslaught of the little fellas at this time of year. :muttering: :bumblebee:

A visual on what's happening inside a turbo'd engine. You'll notice that peak pressure is delayed by a few degrees because of the different ignition timing curve and that the total area under the curve is much larger.

Does anyone know what the stud size is on these machines? And can you confirm that the bolt pattern is 8 x 8".

Has anyone used the plaque removal products they sell now? Seems too good to be true....

Picture's worth a thousand words. The hoses have an anti abrasion cover on them, that's why they're so fat.

It would look very much like this, although this is an AN fitting. Note the safety wire has not been installed on the Female fitting yet, but you can see the hole for the wire.

I have two -16 JIC fittings on a machine that are constantly backing off due to vibration and hydraulic pulsing. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to lock these down? I've looked at jigs to drill the fittings for safety wire, but the ones I've found only go up to -12. Loctite makes a...

Anyone have any experience with these in a cutaway chassis? Both would be max payload and fitted with the base gas V-6's. Can't go diesel because of long idle time requirements. Are the 3.7 / 3.6 really up to pulling around a 10,000 lb vehicle.

Couldn't help myself Thank God it wasn't a ram

Hey, So last year I bought a new FS90R trimmer with the 4-Mix motor. I have to say it has not been a great experience, and this coming from someone who has always owned and used Stihl powerheads. From the factory, it had no mid range. It would idle fine, but you could not ease into the...

Must be less than 400 L and bolted to the truck. Should have a type 3 Hazardous sticker on it, saying what's in it. ( Diesel is UN# 1202 ) Do not need placards or any special license for under 400 L. If it's a commercial vehicle the tank must be steel, not aluminum. Google "Transfer Tank regs" .

For five bucks I'll translate for you. lol.

Thanks Bullitt. Alright, well we can see the baseline for the other graph was lifted from this one from Ford, which is reported to be an engine dyno. What's the source and standard for the other three makes. From that Article we can also see that the wheel dyno profile does not look anything...

What's the source for this? They look like chassis dynos, except for the Ford's. Of course.

This new diesel actually has more area under the curve than the ford, but it stops pulling at 4K. It should be a very nice towing combination.

How it's done mathematically, where the fulcrum would be about 12" in front of the front axle.

So.... almost 25% off the sticker. Pick it up on Monday. 2014 Big Horn 1500, with tow package. Pretty stoked. :dance1:

Have been looking for a new rig, and was hoping to find a suitable 2013 for a good discount. Last year at this time the lots were half full of previous years models. This year, virtually none, and no salesman following me around the lot. So I drove a new 2014 Sierra 1500 crew with the d.i...

Blake, couldn't find the invoice, but here's the box. It does have a number on it, BCT200 if you look closely but it also says "custom maintenance kit". So it may be dealer dependant.

Would like to close in my 2 bay garage, and would like to hear ideas for something other than drywall. It will not be heated continuously, nor cooled in the summer. Thanks.

This is some of the heaviest snow I have moved. Don't wait until it's over to move it!

That's pretty much what I wound up doing. My cross bracing is Architectural Al C channel. Structural C channel would be stronger, but you don't get the nice flat bolting surfaces.

We've had a number of strong wind storms here this summer, leading to a lot of blow downs. A local man was helping his neighbour cut up a large tree, and he didn't realise his young son was playing in the hole left by the root ball. When he cut the trunk away, the root ball rolled back into the...

So it poured rain here for about 12 hours, which then turned to snow, leaving an accumulation of about 12". Went out to start the machine this morning to blow the snow, which had spent the night outside in the rain, and the start position on the switch does nothing. Went through all the safety...
