    Machine control

    I'm looking for an entry level machine control system to run my scraper. I currently have Specrta LR60 receivers so I would like something compatable with them but it's not a deal breaker. All I want is a simple electric valve that controls my blade height via the receiver. Any recommendations...

    Kobelco loss of power

    This might get a bit long but I want to include all of the details. Kobelco SK200Lc Mark IV. 5.9 Cummins. A couple hundred hours ago the engine started to surge at low idle.

    Steiger ST280- 3406 Cat issues

    I have a Steiger ST280 series IV that I use around the farm and for a few construction duties. It's got a 3406 Cat. I'm having troubles with the electronic tach.

    Honda GX630

    I'm having a small issue with a Honda engine. It seems so simple but I'm stumped. It's a GX630 on a portable pressure washer so it has the remote throttle and choke controls.

    Pettibone 4

    I bought an old Pettibone 4 on a sale the other day and now I need to go retrieve it. Does anyone know the approximate weight so I bring enough trailer? The owner figures 7-8000# and looking at it I'd guess about the same. Thanks

    Opinions: D41P-6

    I'm looking for a 6-way dozer to add to my fleet. I've ran JD 450G & a D31P and while they did what I expected, I'm looking for a larger machine. I already have a 45,000# straight dozer for the bulk pushing and I need a clean-up and grading machine. I don't really have space restraints as I...

    Winter dozing

    I have a little 10 acre patch of trees to take down for a customer. Mostly poplar. 8"-12" diameter trees for the most part. I tipped them all over about 10 days ago then let the ground freeze-up a little. We had some-25*F nights so I figured it would be hard as heck but I still have to be...

    I'm a bit stumped and looking for advice. I have a D65P-8 Komatsu dozer. A little history first... Auction sale machine that looked very nice.

    GL422 calibration

    I purchased a new Spectra GL422 this spring to use on my ditching projects. I noticed some off numbers when checked against my old laser so I checked calibration. My new laser is within specs but barely. I'm currently cutting .05% so I need this unit to be as close as possible. Does anyone...

    Komatsu steering

    I have a D65P-8 that is having some steering issues. I believe the seals for the steering clutches are out. I have a new steering pump & the brakes work correctly. It seems the oil is spraying out where it shouldn't be & the clutches barely move. My point is; how big of a job is it to...

    Torque converter help

    I picked up a D65P-8 Komatsu at an auction to do some work around the farm. The previous owner said it was a good running machine that he just replaced the steering clutches in & the brakes needed some adjustment. I picked up a manual, adjusted the brakes, checked the fluids & took it for a...
