    skidsteer OTT tracks

    Mine has got the spacers, already. The original owner added them and ran steel tracks. Camso said that spacers wouldn't solve the problem, had to be smaller tires. Maybe something with the boom clearing in full down position? Greg

    skidsteer OTT tracks

    So, I ordered a set of the McLaren rubber tracks. I need to be on pavement and concrete driveways. Hope they are worth it. Thanks for the input. Considered the Camso rubber OTT tracks as well, but was told by their dealer I would also have to change my tires from 12-16.5 to 10-16.5 for...

    skidsteer OTT tracks

    I've got a New Holland LS180 and I seem to spend a lot of my time in mud and soft ground. Is there a reason I'd regret over the tire tracks? I've never used them and they are a pretty good investment. I'd like to hear the pros and cons from those that use them. Are they a lot of trouble to put...

    Komatsu PC50uu-1 hydraulic problem

    They are fairly simple machines to work on. No electronics, fixed displacement (three stage) gear pumps, Komatsu engines. Dealer can find most parts, but John's right, very expensive. Ebay has some parts. Final drives may not be available as exact replacements, the -1 used Hy-Dash drives. Tracks...

    dump truck batteries, replace in pairs?

    I replaced them both. The old ones were Exide 31XHD. When I removed them they both had tags on the sides that said November 2016, so a little less than 3 years old. I've only had the truck a few months. One of the batteries still checked good and I should have kept it for some of the other...

    dump truck batteries, replace in pairs?

    I've got a chevy 7500 dump truck with Cat diesel. It has a pair of batteries. Just started going dead after sitting a few days. First thing I did was to put in a heavy duty battery disconnect, suspecting parasitic drain. That didn't help. I load test the batteries and one checks good, one...

    closing dump truck tailgate

    Yeah, this truck is just for personal/farm use. Maybe used a couple of times a month, so the high lift option is likely way over budget. A retrofit kit to convert from what I've got to swinging barn door style would probably be just the trick. If the kit hardware is reasonable, there's plenty of...

    closing dump truck tailgate

    That's interesting. I'd always been told that the tailgate had to be up, but never saw or asked for anything written. If I could legally drive with it down, I could get home where there's equipment to close it. I'm in Tennessee, anyone familiar with the requirements here?

    closing dump truck tailgate

    Any idea where I can find more information on that type? Does anyone sell a conversion kit? I googled it but haven't come up with anything where I can get a close look at how it works.

    closing dump truck tailgate

    that's what I'm doing now, but after dumping the load I have to close the tailgate to travel home. I can't lift it back closed by myself and there's no equipment available to help. Greg
