    Overload of the Day

    One of my F450's was recalled for a frame brace. Had to disassemble the truck (utility body and pump hoist) so they (Ford) could install plates on the frame.

    Cat 12E control box

    Everything seems to work smooth. Block the machine and see if the blade will drop without binding?

    Cat 12E control box

    Thank you Nige. I have manuals, so I should be able to find part numbers. Grandpa, down pressure on the blade is the worst. I can't hold the levels in hard enough to put major down pressure on the blade.

    Cat 12E control box

    So, I think the bevel gears in the control box on my 1964 Cat 12E (99E 10298) grader are worn. Is there a good place to get these rebuilt?

    Not much info here on JCB/Volvo machines

    I own a Volvo excavator. Volvo no longer supports it, parts are almost impossible to find. I've been told anything over 20 years old, Volvo no longer support, no parts, no info, nothing. My 60,000 pound excavator might be headed to the scrap yard. I own a Cat grader, 1964. I needed a part, went...

    Finally got the seal out, apparently there is a special socket needed. Well, the seal is out and a new one on order. I have a guy doing this, so I don't have much more info than that.
