    Heated Shop Or A Sheet Of Tin ?

    I presently work out of a 32x40 steel sided pole barn with concrete floor. Its gets you out of the howling wind for sure but absolutely no R value in steel. A piece of ply wood or card board like you guys mention gets you off the cold ground or floor. Had plans to insulate but was put on the...

    Careless Mistake

    Craft; It still runs fine, as a matter of fact i drained the oil and water from the pan and added fresh oil and ran the engine. How do you know if the head is cracked other than pulling it off? Did not notice any white smoke but then there was not any water in the system. The oil cooler is...

    Kamatsu PC 75 bucket hitting cab.

    I agree with you on the lack of room in the cab. I am 6'1" and 275 lbs which doesn't help I suppose..:D Other than that I love the machine for what I do. I find the zero tail swing and offset real handy.

    Kamatsu PC 75 bucket hitting cab.

    Pc 75 Mike, Yes it is clean thanks. I am a little confused as you stated you where moving rocks with a 12 - 14 ton machine and the Kamatsu is only an 8 ton machine and it's doing a better job ? Did you mean 12 -14 thousand pound machines? :confused:

    Kamatsu PC 75 bucket hitting cab.

    I am a fairly new owner of a PC 75 uu-2 with off set. Not paying attention I was curling up the boom and bucket to the upright position and was educated very fast when the bucket came down on the cab :Banghead It left a pretty good dent and cracked the window. I wouldn't think that such a...

    Well met with an attorney today to see what my options are. He said if it goes to court it will cost me a third of what is owed me for him. He is sending them a letter first to see what happens. I hope it works. I wouldn't think the company wants a law suit so maybe they will pay.
