    Any undercarriage experts here?

    ITP might be a good place to start. Industrial Tractor Parts, they are more east of the Mississippi but ship all over. Used to use them for years to order UC for our dozers, etc. https://industrialtractorparts.com/index.html

    clearing out a pond and patching dam

    If their is a decent bottom to it, one can get in with an excavator and cut channels to give the water in there a place to go and run out. Did one a number of years ago that was similar to what you are talking bout, washed out dam, silted in. Was able to take the excavator and just work...

    Solar panels on Job Shack

    To quote hvy 1ton. The Renogy stuff has been worked pretty decent for us. We have 100w panels set up in our truck scale houses to run the indicator, outside readout and printer. Most of the scales we have set up with a 12v battery, with some having 2 for extra storage capacity. For what we...

    miller welders..

    Have only used my Multimatic 200 now a handful of times now, running .035 innershield. Doing maintenance work with it so far and have been able to plug into plant power vs using the trailblazer. I will agree, its not Pelican type casing, however I've seen my share of busted up Pelican cases...

    Building a good burn pile

    No matter what you are using to make your pile a few things always are key. Keep the trees as clean as you can, shake what you can for dirt out of them and if need be wrap a chain around and drag them rather than push them if using a dozer. Keep everything going the same direction, or at...

    Water Pump question

    Been down that dewatering a pond project myself. Started out with an old 3" of ours and even went so far as hanging a "aux tank" from the excavator bucket to help it run longer..and still had to make a few trips out there daily to re fill it. Very slow process and just was not getting it done...

    pond cleanout methods

    I've done it a number of different ways, and sometimes one way would not work at another pond due to size, bottom conditions etc. On one such pond that had a dam that had blown out years ago we were able to take an excavator in, cut a main trench and many branches and got it to drain, then...

    Quickest and easiest way to strip top soil

    All depends on distance of push, where the dirt needs to end up, and how much you are moving. There are many variables that can play into this. Someone else will have to refresh me on this...but I do believe in the CAT Performance Handbook, it has you pushing in a slot...starting close to your...

    Digging/quarrying dolomite

    I wouldn't rule out drilling and blasting yet. About the time you go down 2 feet and hit a solid layer you might be to late to switch tactics. PM me as to where in WI your at...an estimate or quote from a blasting contractor shouldn't cost you anything. Then you will know for sure. Trbo

    Started plowing for the township bout 10 years ago for the township running a single axle IH truck with no wing. Few years of that they got a new truck for the patrolman I got the Ford which I still run today. Much prefer to be in the grader with the Vee on and busting roads open then winging...

    350C John Dere....weak in reverse!

    Thanks guys, Stump...he did say it was when backing out of a hole he had dug..so incline. Will pass along the information to him. He is a very mechanical minded person just unfamiliar with "yellow iron". I'll make sure he re checks all fluids, and linkages etc. Thanks again. Trbo

    350C John Dere....weak in reverse!

    350C John Deere....weak in reverse! Had a buddy of mine call me the other night, hes using an older 350C JD crawler loader for cleaning some timber he has. Says its pushing good forward and working fine but reverse it won't hardly move...acting as if its slipping. I'm not familiar with this...
