    Help with grizzly bar size/spacing.

    I guess I should have did a "Paul Harvey's.....And the rest of the story" LMAO...... We have a feed conveyor underneath my grizzly, hence why it tapers to the center. Only move it if I want to, not because I have to. It is 2 3/8" oil pipe at 6" space, right around 7' on high side that...

    Who ACTUALLY manufactures their own jaw crusher???

    While looking for crushers, wayyy overpriced to begin with, I started noticing that some "sticker" badged brands look exactly the same as the Chinese stickered ones. The housings on either the faces or the corners have all the same curves, gussets, mounting area and whatever else...but some say...

    swing gear oil level???

    Hey flekr, Yes but not really. Got my manuals and all that jazz. Redrained and started to refill to the 8 or so quarts what the book said and I had oil running all over the housing at about 7 quarts...so I really don't know what to say. Maybe that's where the JD 690"BA" they weren't sure how...

    Brief introduction of Jaw Crusher

    It is a known fact that crushers get MUCH quieter the longer you use them. Cuz the longer you use them, the more deaf you get, and are oblivious to the noise that they make:D

    Non traditional excavator uses....

    Looks real nice like....the wood part perhaps scetchy...I'd feel a whole lot safer with steel, plus once you got your harness on and tethered to the rail and if you should happen to slip and fall you wouldn't have to worry about the 2x4 or 6 thumpin' you on the head after you hit the ground:tong

    That really raises the pucker factor. Definately probably takes the cake.

    If that don't work...start parting bit by bit.. load...haul...repeat many times..heck, this way the important parts could be stored inside and half the battle is over already. Just a couple cents worth.

    swing gear oil level???

    Thanks Komatsu...I sure would have figured that of ALL the early JD excavators somebody had to of checked the oil. I mean at some point in time there might have been a slow leak and somebody had to add some oil. So apparently they didn't know what the full mark was either, so they would drain...

    swing gear oil level???

    What?!..Doesn't anybody check their oil level? Do I really have to drain it and measure out the 9 1/4 quarts just to answer my own question:eek: Daygommit anyways

    Whats the smallest truck you would pull this combination with?

    Also, anything with air brakes, gotta be licensed for that. The places you are going in and out of. Future other uses if you look at a 550, up keep and price of either single axe or other option. Like everything, to one up side with one is the down side of the other and vise versa. Good idea...

    swing gear oil level???

    On my JD 690B (or probably any excavator) I know how many quarts it takes, but what is the "full" level visually when you look into the fill hole? Half way up the big gear..three quarters...right at the top..anybody know??? Thank you

    Hitachi ex100-3 dies when warm

    When the engineers get done making equipment, they give them a standard workshop toolbox and throw every part number in a hat and tell each one to pick one out and then they get to take that part off with the given tools and SPACE that they provided...I wonder if they would make a little extra...
