    It Begins: Big Bud Tractor to be Produced Again, Simple and Repairable

    Look up Mike Mitchell on YouTube. They pull big air seeders and don't hardly have enough hp to pull on their hills. I read somewhere that they were planning on using 988 cat loader axles. I have thought about this and wondered why they would use loader axles and not use 773 truck axles or...

    Why drop belly guards.?

    I do kinda like queenslander said. I have a cable made up that I run under the machine and hook onto something on the other side and then it helps to put a block between cable and pan and then hook to crane winch off of service truck.

    My drawers already have plenty of stuff in them is the problem. I could probably reorganize some stuff I don't use very often and make some room. I have seen those racks before that go in toolbox drawers and wondered how the powered tools would hold up to being hung in something like that...

    JCB 530 Steering

    After doing more digging found that somebody had run a jumper wire with a separate fuse to the front sensor and that wire had got broke where it went over the driveshaft. After getting that all back together it all works now. It appeared like somehow they had run the back sensor thru the same...

    Portable press

    Depends what you are calling portable. I made a h style press where I work I would transport it wherever I needed it if I had to. I also made another press that uses the all thread I use in my hollow ram. It has holes in 1" plate that are braces so I can either use 3 or 4 rods whatever I need...

    My father has a JCB 530 with 4 wheel steering that isn't working. Checking the proximity sensors and was wondering on the sensor plug there is a black, red, & Blue wire. What is hot and which is ground? Is it supposed to have 12 volts to the sensor and then a ground? That is what I figured but...

    A few projects I have done recently

    Looks good CM1995. Per your ideas with making a bucket with removable teeth I built one a couple years ago and the guys on our crew really like it. It has held up a lot better then a regular bucket. The next weak point is where the quick attach hooks up the top flat bar in the bucket where the...

    Deere 850J LGP grousers

    Has anybody welded on new grousers? If so what is the process? Does the old one get cut off some to get squared up? New bars that were priced to me were 3/4" and 7/8" thick. Clears on dozer and end are less than 1/2" thick so do they get cut off so the total cleat height would be same as new ones?
