    This has been parked in my yard for a few days:

    Having some landscaping done this summer and they are using this machine. Not sure but I think my wife told them to take the key out when they leave for the day! I mean I have run a 988H Cat loading haul trucks so how much damage could I do with this??

    Question about posting images

    Is there a way to post more than the four in one file that seems to be the limit? Say is there a way to combine 10 or 12 into one file, maybe a PDF? I have some old Sales brochures I'd like to upload but don't want to overload the forum if that is a problem. Maybe is a posting site that could...

    What the heck is this tool?

    Trying to look smart on another forum so does anyone know what this tool is used for, thinking it is something only used in colder climates from the person who posted it. Someone guessed it was for tire chains but was told NO!

    Problem attaching a file here

    Not sure why but as of today and from what I can tell it's only on HEF, tried a couple other forums I'm on a lot and have been able to post image there. Seems like it locks up my Google Chrome browser as soon as I click on the "Up Load" file blue box. Only way I can get anything to work again...

    I'm working on getting my computer back to working after a hard drive replacement. Thought I had most of the addresses for things saved with a list of passwords but right at the moment I'm not finding anything for the SIS account.

    Thread says Computer Applications so I'll give it a try!

    Thought someone here might have some suggestions. I'm looking for an easy to learn program that can be used to draw up things like say some cabinets or work bench. Fifty years ago I took a couple courses in drawing at the local community college but even the guys building moon landers hardly...

    How to determine the best oil for your motor!

    I know a thread about oils can cause a lot of debate so I figured I would toss a bit of fuel on the fires. Actually could have posted this in the Joke Of The Day thread as it borders on the humorous. I was looking around for information on my old 1947 Farmall BN and got lucky and found a site...

    Wagner Power Clusters, looking for parts

    Just trying to help another guy on this site and thought I'd post here to see if I can get some ideas. I dealt with many machines back in the 1970's and 1980's that used these air over hydraulic power clusters seem like they are ancient history and the few places that even hint they have parts...

    Cat 416? S/N SPV04140?

    Came across a guy on another forum looking for help on his 416 Back-hoe and he says the S/N is SPV04140. I tried looking on SIS and there are 30 different prefixes for 416's but not the SPV. Just wondering if anyone would know if this is a Grey market machine or just a case of miss-reading the...

    Question about an fuel oil/kerosene heater

    Trying to remember what it is called and if they still make them. As I recall it was a galvanized tub about the diameter of a 55 gallon drum and about a foot tall. It had a domed cover on it and out of the center of the cover was a 6 or 8 inch stove pipe chimney also seems there was an elbow...

    Cat sealants and Chemicals cross reference chart

    Guess this could be posted many places but I'll try here. I know many years ago Cat got out of the sealants and much of the chemical business. I know at work I had a brochure that gave recommended Loc-Tite products part numbers for the Cat Part numbers. Any chance some one has a literature...

    Anyone have a 966B Parts book to look up some filter numbers?

    Or an ancient copy of One Safe Source that shows filter used in a 966B? Another person has private messaged me asking for information on hydraulic filters. I'm thinking the filter would be the same as a 966C which uses 2 of the 4J6064 new number 1R0741 but not sure if the "B"s used one or two...

    Just wondering if anyone here just bought an 1845C off of Iron Planet Auctions, think the bidder was from Texas? I did not know a 1989 machine was worth the final bid price of $6,900.00! Spent many years with that machine! Have about a quarter a century of notes on it!
