    Max and Al---Chevy trucks

    I haven't seen the commercials, but I have two of these trucks, 2500 HD Z71 and they pull very well and are very fun to drive with plenty of power to spare. They drive like a truck and are pretty stiff. May be the 20" rim/tire combo and the heavier springs. My best mileage so far was...

    Added new Bobcat to the fleet.

    I was just burning some time, searching the internet for pros and cons on the s630. This is the only thread I found here on this board. I bought a new s630 a couple or few months ago and so far I love it. Tons of nice features and every option available. Cab is nice and air tight. Quiet...

    what papers are needed at the mexico border?

    Well I think if there was truly an issue with the spanish words then the mod should just send me a PM rather than this but then again this is just the internet. Who cares. It's not like I wrote the entire post in spanish, just a few words to make sure the original poster fully understood me...

    what papers are needed at the mexico border?

    Here's an invoice for a generator that was exported by somebody. In fact, Rojas Heavy (the seller) is actually a Mexican owned company operating in Texas. Most of the equipment they sell goes to Mexico. They accidently sent me this invoice when I requested my excavator invoice the other day...

    sorry, that's supposed to be www.gambi.com.mx Just keep in mind that Gambi is the freight forwarder (door to door trucking company) not the forwarding agent/broker.

    what papers are needed at the mexico border?

    You will need a forwarding agent. Check with Transportes Especializados Gambi. Mi amigo Cesar es el dueno. He can get you an agent. If he can't, I'll get you one here in Laredo. www.gambi.com/mx

    Anyone know anything about the Doosan Excavators?

    My doosan 300 started to stall on the operator after our first hundred or so hours. I traced the problem down to insufficient fuel delivery. Narrowed it down to the lift pump on the side of the injection pump. I removed the lift pump and found a small plastic screen on the suction side of the...

    Check out my hoe,.........please.

    Looks like a great deal. :drinkup Deutz air cooled engines have a good reputation for durability in my area. I don't know much about them other than a water pump I own has a 3 cyl one in it. By looking at your engine photo, it looks like the intake and exhaust runners are coming out...

    just bought an excavator. I have a few bucket questions

    Thanks man. I've been searching for the right machine for over 6 months now and looked at what seems like over 100 machines from old and busted to nice and fresh ones. That's good to hear. My local scrap yard had every brand imaginable running out there until they ran a daewoo. Now they...

    just bought an excavator. I have a few bucket questions

    Here's some pics of my Doosan now that we've moved her to her new home. I used it yesterday to air up a 29.5-29 that was being stubborn around the o-ring. This is a neat machine. Just pretty complicating to operate for someone that's never done it before. I checked out an (out of work) 68...

    just bought an excavator. I have a few bucket questions

    Just a quick question about the Geith setup. Stock said earlier that "it would appear to have a Geith pin grabber type hitch which should make it easier to locate a bucket" so if the pins on my bucket measure say, 3" in diameter, will I have the flexibility to use a bucket with 4"...

    old terex

    hey, thanks for the response Jerry. That's something to keep in mind if I ever end up with one of these machines. Do you have any idea how much a ts24b weighs empty? If I had to guess I would say ~125k? I looked at an old Cat 633 elevating scraper a while back that I beilieve had 33"...

    Case IH Steiger tractors........

    Nice setup! I bet they are at least $10k each tire! Michelin 29.5R25's cost ~$6,500 per tire in my area.

    just bought an excavator. I have a few bucket questions

    WOW, thanks for all the info guys. :drinkup I had expressed my interest in a larger bucket to the seller of this machine and he offered to trade the pictured 30" bucket with a 48" bucket off of a 2002 Daewoo 300 that he uses at his ranch. But when he said he might have to take the quick...

    Clearing mesquite?

    The mesquite is all over my area down here. The best way I have to deal with them is with my dozer. They are tough trees though. Here's some pics of some mesquite clearing I did at my entrance after installing an electric gate opener a few weeks ago. The backhoe helps too.

    What type of trailer is this?

    Those look like mobile home style tires and wheels. I'm guessing they are 14.5" diameter wheels. They can handle quite a bit of weight and are easy to come by at or around your nearest trailer park. :D
