    Cat 289D Roller Leaking??

    Yes, its the large rearmost idler with triple flanges. It did warm up here today and I cleaned it out and drove it some, it didn't appear to be leaking anymore but I know it lost some fluid. Is there a place to add some more? Not sure if it could possibly reseal on its own? Also my quicktach...

    I figured it would need a new cab. That old cab is totally destroyed. A new cab was around $7k.

    Kubota Mini Excavator boom repair

    Okay. Hopefully I won't regret it but I canceled my bid. Didn't want to get into something deeper than I was thinking. They are about $70k new so was thinking if I got it for about $25k I would be alright.

    Kubota Mini Excavator boom repair

    It actually was on a trailer and hit a lower overpass taking the whole cab off and it needs replaced. Its an insurance deal so am trying to figure out how much would have into it if I got it. That is the only close up picture I Have.

    Kubota Mini Excavator boom repair

    I attached a photo of the problem. The boom works great but has some cosmetic issues from hitting something. Its a brand new KX057-4. Do you think it could be fixed by a welder without having to buy another boom kit for $4-5k.

    Rolled 2011 Cat 320??

    Ok I see what you mean. Maybe batteries are dead from sitting to long. Does it look like it rolled? Could you see any hidden visual damage? Other than cylinder, cab, and that side panel.

    Rolled 2011 Cat 320??

    Sorry folks....I actually missed the first online auction but they have it back up again on a minimum bid. They are wanting $60k for it. I imagine they would take alittle less for it.

    Thanks for all the helpful replies. Not sure what it will go for. Its on a no reserve auction going off tomorrow in Tifton, GA. We are from IA so can't really go look at it. I wouldn't want too give much for it with all the unknowns. I did email the auction to see if they have any additional...

    Bobcat 864 Track loader drive motor problem??

    We also tried out the drive motor without the track on and couldn't feel any resistance or hear any strange noises or leaks etc. But when we sight up the sprocket with the skidsteer it is not going straight, something is bent but what?

    Bobcat 864 Track loader drive motor problem??

    Just got a 2000 864 Track loader with 1600 hours from an auction and we noticed that the left side rear drive motor is on an angle..if you go to the back of the loader and sight it up and down with the big lower idler pulley in the back, you can definitely see that it is leaning down. It still...
