    Operators and Booze

    That show was simply masterful in its original run. The Netflix reboot was ok but it just doesn't hold up well against the first few seasons.

    Ol' Ray was hard on the booze too.

    Cat 257 Final Drive leak

    That's what I was afraid of. I've run into that issue a couple times, Cat wants you to buy a new/reman assembly IIRC. Might have to give the aftermarket a shot and see if that seal is available elsewhere.

    Cat 257 Final Drive leak

    Duo cone seal's gone. What's the oil level in the final drive? A blown motor seal will fill the final drive up and then blow out the duo cone seal.

    Strange buyer's

    "What's the lowest price you'll take?" That line really rubs me the wrong way. I don't even want to deal with them anymore. Make a reasonable offer and we'll go from there.

    O-ring boss caps

    ORB is common on components like pumps, motors, cylinders etc. Its not often you're going to see hoses with crimped on ORB male fittings. The vast majority of the time the component is going to have an adapter fitting threaded in to it to go from the female ORB in the component to a male JIC or...

    Your friend is not wrong. Its a dumpster fire lol.

    Strange buyer's

    That is true. I try and stick to only looking at things a 1 hour radius from home for the most part. I've got no issues sending someone additional pictures, video or information on something I'm selling. I'd rather they decide against coming to look at an item before they drive out to look in...

    Lazer Welding

    Makes a nice bead but I want to see how it stands up against the tried and true processes.

    Strange buyer's

    I don't accomodate anybody. They knew damn well where the item was located when they inquired about it. Not my problem, either figure out how to get here or pay up for my time. Going forward I'm going to start holding people accountable for their offers if they make one sight unseen too...

    O-ring boss caps

    I've never seen an ORB cap before, they might not even exist. Kind of pointless since you'll usually have to take the line off the fitting anyways. The vast majority of crimped hoses don't have swivel ends crimped on. Just cap/plug the open connection and if the fitting is in the way, just...

    Operators and Booze

    Case of beer usually lasts me 6 months. I hardly ever drink, might crack open a beer or 2 while working around the yard or in the garage on the weekend but that's really it. Can't afford to drink in the pub anymore, a pint is around $7 now. Stopped in at the pub for a plate of wings and a pint...

    How to fix my bent chassis

    I'm no frame expert but I don't think frame rails are something you want to be putting a lot of heat in to. Seem to recall they cold bend frames to straighten them. I could be wrong on that though.

    Final Drive Oil Analysis

    I'm of the same mindset when it comes to final drives. Run the oil no longer than recommended and if there's no sign of water contamination, no brass flakes in the drained oil and no chunks on the magnet then put in fresh oil and go back to work. Final drives make so much fine metal during...

    What is the common nickname for Caterpillar brand equipment ?

    Millennials are old now. Even the youngest Millennials are closing in on 30.

    What is the common nickname for Caterpillar brand equipment ?

    You seem to have more on the ball than most folks in their 20s do.

    What is the common nickname for Caterpillar brand equipment ?

    I'd have guessed you were a little beyond that.

    Uh-oh.. Hydraulic Line Failure Under PC60-7

    No way the line can be fished under the cab? A lot of times if the clamps can be accessed I'll just tie the new line to the old one with a union fitting and pull the new line in while pulling out the old one.

    Seeking Heavy Equip Techs - Where to look?

    Yep. I don't need some fresh out of highschool kid telling me how to do my job when I've been doing the job since before he was in kindergarten.
