    Spoke/Dayton wheels

    When removing the wedges i always like to leave the lug nut threaded on about one thread until the pressure has been released from the wedge.

    JD 310c Starting intermittently...

    I had problems with the neutral safety switch on my 210c,which caused the same types of symptoms. The switch was located under the cab on my machine, and could be bypassed for TESTING PURPOSES ONLY, if your really careful.

    French Drain Installation

    In an average month in this area, we get about 3 inches of precipitation. I couldn't find info on daily rainfall, but I know last week Irene sent us about 5'' in a day and a half. That isn't however anything that happens more than one time in a lifetime. I'll take the pond idea into...

The majority of the water from the beer plant's parking lot (paved) as well the neighboring truck terminal's lot (gravel) drain into this naturally low gravel area. Their...

    bushings

    I changed a pin and some bushings today. A bead of weld on opposite sides of the inside of the bushing. Don't be afraid to put a fair amount of weld to it. I was nervous it would go through the bushing, but it didn't even discolor it. I then used the old pin to smash it out the other side. I put...

    deere 210

    I own a 210c, i've owned it for a year and a half and all i've done to it was have the transmission/hydraulic cooler repaired, easy job to do and cost me 70 bucks. Their a good machine and can do almost as much as a bigger machine. My meter is stopped at 3800 and I would say it probably has...

    Questions On Starting a Backhoe business

    I do alot of stuff, where people need only a small amount of material, dumped in a back yard (topsoil, mulch) or someone wants some gravel in a hole in the driveway.

    Questions On Starting a Backhoe business

    I started a backhoe business like you are thinking of about a year and a half ago, and i've been happier at work than i've ever been. A man can make a decent living at it, as long as he realizes that you won't be sitting in the cab pulling levers all day. During this season ive been a...

    366 GM truck motor

    This is my old girl after a fresh coat of paint. It turned out halfway decent for my first paint job, using $30 a gallon tractor supply paint.

    366 GM truck motor

    I wish my rig had air brakes some of the time, except for it not requiring a cdl, it stops halfway decent, but air pto and tailgate is something i would install for sure.

    366 GM truck motor

    I have this motor in my dump truck, an 85 GMC 7000 5+2 hydraulic brakes 23160 GVW. With the split rear end this thing pulls pretty strong. I've heard that these engines are bulletproof and i believe it. Ive wound the snot out of mine pulling heavy loads up big hills, and although i was barely...

    1988 JD 210C 4x4

    I just bought a 1989 model of this machine with 3600 hours on it as my first backhoe, about four months ago. My machine was well maintained and mechanically sound, and i bought it from a guy for 16000 and he wouldn't budge either. I had been looking for a while for a lighter machine like this...
