    Anybody Recognize This

    In turning it over to get a couple more pictures I noticed some writing. "Lanray Made in Australia" Apparently it's part of a camp stove. Made between 1941 and 1950. Makes sense, dad was there during the war

    We are going through some of my Dad's stuff and found this trinket in the bottom of his WW2 army duffle bag.

    Looking at old backhoes

    Mine had a bad seat on it when I bought it. Not only was the seat upholstery portion torn up, the pedestal was all loose and wobbly. I had just reupholstered by boat, so had some leftover material to make a new one. Welded up some the broken metal around the pedestal. It made for good weekend...

    Looking at old backhoes

    I bought the shop manual when my pump went out. Very handy to have. AND I got a lot of help from the guys here at HEF.

    Looking at old backhoes

    I doubt it is a 410D. My 310 has a tag on the engine that say 310D and that's how the guy I bought it from had it listed. I think the D means Diesel in this case. If it were a D it would say on the side of the tractor, They were available with a turbo and 4wd, 1991-1997. The straight 410 is...

    Looking at old backhoes

    I purchased a 1974 JD310 9 years ago with the same thought as you. It's been so handy, I haven't even considered selling it. Beyond the normal stuff like oil changes and filters, battery, starter rebuild and alternator replacement, I had to rebuild the hydraulic pump and replace a couple of...

    On the Road Again

    Does the picture make those power lines look closer than they are? Seems like they would be a problem with those tall cranes.

    Sawmill

    I would agree with Bumpsteer. Mine is for the most part all manual. I have cut a lot of lumber on mine, but I don't think I would want to make a living off of it. Another consideration is blade sharpening, you should be set up to sharpen your own blades including resetting the teeth, but I found...

    Sawmill

    I built one 20 years ago. This guy lives about 30 miles away. https://www.linnlumber.com He has since retired and sold to somebody else, so I don't know how it all works now. At the time he would sell his stuff as a complete kit with plans to build the track or as a partial kit and you could...

    MATERIAL STICKING IN TRUCK BODY

    I'm not so sure the vibrator didn't settle it in even tighter. I know digging it all out with a shovel was no fun.

    MATERIAL STICKING IN TRUCK BODY

    A friend of mine has a vibrator in his truck. He brought several loads of sticky dirt here last spring. The vibrator didn't do squat.

    Lumber Prices

    I used to work with a guy that had previously worked at a mill that made OSB. He was well aware of the cyclical nature of the business. He made a fair amount of money each year in the stock market buying and selling based on the price fluctuations revolving around hurricane season.

    JD410 needs some work

    I have a 310, but the same pump or at least the same type with the two ports. I had the same problem finding the right fittings, so I made my own. Pretty simple really. I welded a 3/8-24 bolt to the big end of a 1/2 x 1/4 NPT black iron bushing, drilled a hole lengthwise through the end of the...

    Farmland Tractor in Tangent, Oregon is a wrecking yard for Farm equipment. They tend to be a bit proud of their stuff, but a good chance they may have what you need.

    The worst repair job you ever performed.......

    Fortunately I never had to deal with the smelly and gross. My worst had to do with extreme noise mixed with heat and humidity. I worked for a company that did electrical control upgrades for corrugated paper machines (some people call it cardboard) We tried to do our work during plant shutdowns...
