    Building a Lake

    I don't have a comment about the iron other than take someone along who knows what they are looking at and get some oil samples. I will caution you, the size of that lake is going to require a lot of paper work. I'm not sure of the regulations in Indiana either, but in PA, you enter into a...

    Landpride PR25-72 Disassembly

    So here is where I am currently. The collar has the set screw backed all the way off but I am not entirely sure I even needed to do that. The shaft should be smooth all the way through to the gear in the drive case. There is an extra "key" in the gear that I think is a broken off bolt. I...

    Landpride PR25-72 Disassembly

    so I have a new wrinkle, I got the snap ring out of the groove after I got the right size 90 degree pliers to remove it. There is still no movement on that shaft so I pulled off the cover on the gear case, Lo and behold there was a second "key" in the drive gear.... The OEM square key and...

    Landpride PR25-72 Disassembly

    The bigger the better right? I have a map gas hand held torch that I am going to give a go at first. IF that doesn't work, I'll have to dig out the acetylene torch I suppose. :) Never hurts to have the phone in hand....

    Landpride PR25-72 Disassembly

    Landpride PR25-72 Disassembly

    Greetings all, I am currently working on replacing a seal on my Landpride PR 25-72 and I am having some trouble getting the bar out of the drive leg and idler leg. I have the set screws on the collars completely removed and I am waiting on snap ring pliers to show up in the mail to be able...

    Moving Dead Tractor from a shipping container

    Sure can. I have a 5083E and I believe it has a similar transmission. 12x12 with Power reverser. Just slip the sticks into neutral. (range lever and gear selector)

    Best automatic transmission for 8.3 Cummins

    Let me preface this by saying I am not a mechanic. The MD3060 in my International 4700 had a separate TCM for the tranny that was behind the back seat. What inputs does it need from the engine to work correctly since its a separate unit?

    Cost for 25 acre lake use spoil to increase elevation

    SO some rough math just to put this in perspective...... At 10ft Depth.... 25 Acres X 43,560SF/Acre=1,089,000SF 1,089,000SF X 10FT=10,890,000CF 10,890,000CF / 27CF/CY=403,333.33 CY I don't know what your budget is but a project of this size is almost assuredly going to get into dealing...

    Overload of the Day

    Looks like a tandem to me?

    Climbing power needed

    I think it has more to do with the piles being at the angle of repose for the material and any disturbance causes the material to slide down the pile. That and triple grouser shoes aren't known for their traction.

    Specs all over the place on simular machines.

    I recently rented a yanmar machine and I would rent another. I have rented bobcats the most and kubotas 2nd most. Of the two, the "locking" of the bobcat blade has made me appreciate it. Kubotas always seemed like the blade won't hold the machine if you hook into something while digging. I...

    Specs all over the place on simular machines.

    Trying to get the MAX specs on one measurement isn't the whole story either. I would think the smoothness of the machine and the ease of maintenance would mean more over the life of the machine than a theoretical value. Also, I would hands down take a hydraulic thumb over nothing or a...

    Went to look at a gooseneck trailer

    I for the life of me can't figure out why people seem to measure from the coupler to the tail on goosenecks. It seems to be a rising trend to get the trailer into a higher price bracket is all I can figure out. I wouldn't mess around with a wrecked trailer unless it was for scrap price or you...

    Compacting Sandy Forestry Roads

    Used to have a BeetJuice product for dust suppression, but i dont think it had much strength. On the shoulders for roadwork, we spec out an asphalt seal coat overtop of the aggregate to try and get it to hold. I have also seen conveyor belting bolted to 4x4's and buried to direct water off the...

    Rock? You may also try some cement mixed into the sand.

    CAT 963 - Right Machine?

    I am perfectly fine with a proof rolling with a loaded truck, the issue comes in with how consistent it is. There has to be alot of back and forth with the truck to get compaction. A sheepsfoot roller will do it faster and more consistent. Also, when you get close to the top of the dam, it's...
