    Need a grease gun and grease recommendation.

    My gun doesn't leak, but I do get some leakage sometimes around the fitting in the lock'n'lube. This can lead to some grease covering over time. Otherwise, it sounds like many of you get just just as greasy as i do!!

    Need a grease gun and grease recommendation.

    Several years ago I treated myself to an 18v Milwaukee grease gun. I put a lock'n'lube nozzle on the end of it, & it all works great!! The only problem is that whenever I use it I wind up "greasing myself" as well as the equipment. What's the secret to staying relatively grease free?? Maybe...

    Question about posting images

    You could create & share a folder in your Google Drive. Then post a link to either the folder or individual files in the folder. This is basically what I've ended up doing in my thread here https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/pin-on-bucket-mounting-specs.28775/page-6

    Finding excavator buckets

    Absolutely do NOT buy any buckets until you decide on what quick coupler you're going to get/use. Some years ago for my Kobelco SK80, I chose a manual quick coupler called a Klac from Werk-Brau. The advantages were/are: no plumbing, very close mount so no reduction in breakout, to change...

    Loose teeth?

    I have Esco Ultralok U20 chisel teeth on my E80 excavator. Once this past summer one of the teeth just came off in the midst of digging. Couldn't find it in the muck & such, so ordered a new one & another as a spare. They came in about a week later. I installed one of the new ones & moved...

    Tell me I'm not making a terrible mistake.. or maybe I am.

    While I have never run A WN ex, keep in mind that they are a German co., & they excel at efficient & thoughtful design & construction. Generally way ahead of our short-sighted US brands. I own a New Holland (Kobelco) EH-80, which is quite a bit bigger than a ET42, & I love that machine & its...

    NH L220 front wiring pin out

    Walter... I'm a little confused.... By "adapter plug(cigarette lighter), do you mean the 12v accessory jack on the bottom of the left pillar?? Is the winch power connected to the 12v accessory jack, or is power to the remote connected to the jack?? If winch, the amp load is probably too high...

    Ripper storage rack?

    My ripper uses a quick attach (Klac from Werk-Brau) that really wants the ripper to lay on its back edge, so sticking it in the ground doesn't even work that great. So, I finally cobbed together this wooden storage rack that works great....
