    Gehl RT210

    Local used equipment dealer has a gehl RT 210 for sale. Its close to the size I want. He said that the gehl is a takeuchi with different paint, but I don't think the 210's are one of those. It says Manitou on the tag, and its yanmar powered. Anybody familiar with these particular...

    Semi truck Import/export Canada to US

    I've shipped some small items from canada into the states. I'm looking at a truck that's in Canada, its a 1998 KW and it has the epa tag on the engine. Its more than 25 years old, so I think from what I've been reading, that makes it easier. Anyone do this with a truck? I know hallback...

    2003 cummins Air clutch cooling fan

    2003 cummins ISL 330 (basically a cranked up 8.3) Has a air fan clutch, the fan kicks on by temp/ECM, and the clutch engages, but it just seems like it isn't moving the air it should. We have two cranes like this, and the other one sounds like a helicopter taking off when the fan kicks in...

    Local towing company facing fines/ jail time for running "deleted" trucks

    This is the first I've seen where the epa was going directly after a company for driving trucks that were deleted. Several local to me diesel shops have been hit by the epa with six figure fines for deleting dpf/ egr etc., but I hadn't seen the epa go after the companies driving the vehicles...

    I smoked a doe this week with one of my old fords, there was a group of 8 on the road, and I slowed down enough to bump one over and drag it a ways with the snowplow mount. Not even any fur on the truck. But I'm thinking 13 bison and there's going to be some damage...
