    Cat 955L vs Komatsu D57s

    Anybody know if the undercarriage is the same on these tractors? We have a 955l and it needs rails, found a blown up d57s with 95% undercarriage for a song. Thought for sure I could use the rails and pads. Any help is appreciated!

    Terex TS14B Main pin bottom bushing falling out.

    Main neck pin has a bushing in the bottom that has fallen out. Previous owner got it back in but I'm sure it will fall down again, Gonna weld a strap on it to hold it in until we can get it in the shop. Anybody ever put one in? Looks like it could be a pain to do. Any advice appreciated!

    RB Auction Issue

    So, in looking for a service truck which are tough to find for some reason, we found a few at RB auctions around the US. Had my eyes on one at Atlanta auction. When the time came to bid the auctioneer called out for 70k, (Trucks similar have been selling for 45-60k) nobody hit. He got a 30k bid...

    Cat 955L right won't pull.

    Got it. Had some issues when we first got it with left pedal froze up. But thats been fixed. Weather here is good for next few weeks so we'll probably be working. But next chance we'll do some investigating and report findings. We do have a manual. Thank you for the guidance!

    Cat 955L right won't pull.

    Got a 955L 85J series and the right side won't pull. Just drags right side and does a circle. Backed off the right brake and it will freewheel. Got it on lowboy and to shop, jacked her up and it won't pull forward or reverse. Where do I start?

    New Terex TS24D

    I've seen a few items come from that area. Someone has a hobby of fixing up old equipment and making it look new. I've seen a few tractors and scrapers come out of there at the auction. I do like this scraper and would love to have it. Last I saw it was at 42k.

    what is this piece

    If its welded to the frame its just a piece of flat bar for a shim and wear. If its the square piece bolted to idler with a big hole in it and four bolts i call it an idler plate. If it's between that plate and frame its another shim or wear bar.

    Liugong 856 loader won't shift

    I'm renting a Liugong 856 series wheel loader from a friend. It's known to act up on the shifting. It's the electronic shift on the joystick. Has a clutch button on the front. It will be in gear and jump into neutral randomly. Its a pain sometimes as you mess with it and it will shift back in...
