    12v Hydraulic Pump for Dump trailer- Ground wire stud is roached

    OK this is similar enough to mine. The stud on the far top right, and the short length of cable that's burnt, taking it to a starter guy, and ensuring my battery is fully charged before it goes back together. (probably freshen up a couple of hoses too, with the money I save, hydro oil change...

    12v Hydraulic Pump for Dump trailer- Ground wire stud is roached

    OK GREAT MANY THANKS to all of you replying, you've given me hope- except that part about finding a good starter rebuilder. Mine retired last year. The other guy in town has a bad reputation. My old guy recommended a business in the next town, so it will get sent to him. I live on the beach and...

    12v Hydraulic Pump for Dump trailer- Ground wire stud is roached

    Well KHansen- this picture below by Cutting Edge shows that stud. Are you saying the stud can be unscrewed from the outside and a new stud just threaded in without taking the end cap off? As far as labels or data plate on the existing unit? I doubt it. But the unit is similar to the picture.

    when did you decide to go full time in your business

    When you can afford to NOT work. Its tough, but I've been there. When I was in business for myself, I made less money than the men I employed- until I got out of the field and stayed in the "office". I adjusted my prices according to the amount of work the crews got done without me in the field...

    Rodents

    The Bait bags are good, they eat and go somewhere looking for water before they die. the poison dessicates them, so with no "liquids" in them, they don't stink while the decompose.

    12v Hydraulic Pump for Dump trailer- Ground wire stud is roached

    It would have to wait, back at home office and trailer is at my daughters house- most of the way down to my ranch. I know most threads are useless without pictures, but I was fighting darkness and a hangry wife last evening.

    12v Hydraulic Pump for Dump trailer- Ground wire stud is roached

    My 16 year old pump motor has a ground lug that is rusted to the point of it being half its original state. The wire has melted off all its insulation, and last night it made its last up cycle. Power up Gravity down. I am thinking I am replacing the whole set-up as a kit, but hate to throw away...

    So what’s the asv all about?

    They are now back to being fully owned by the men who built the company. Their website does detail some of their history. They used Caterpillar engines- which were Perkins. Most people (PARTICULARLY the blind brand loyalists) don't understand that NONE of the big names make their own small hp...

    500ton trucks...

    What is the run time for fuel on those big trucks? Can you go four or five tanks before shutting down for other lube and filters? In most powered equipment, you should use a tank of gas a day operating.... Just curious.....

    Experience with a mini-skid steer?

    I've got an RC 30 that I paid 19k out the door. I can get you one for 20k. I have no complaints other than the quality of paint on a couple of pieces that aren't ASV or the maker of the cab. I wouldn't have a walk behind for any reason, for any money. News to me that they made the...

    asv

    Wrong attitude, sorry. What I should have said was.... Testing a pull off is pointless, testing with materials is accurate. When was the last time someone called you to grade out their CTL down the driveway, or load a bunch of skiidders?

    asv

    No, it didn't I had the time and the conditions to set up a test. I had sales reps bring their machines, knowing the other guys were going to be there, and I sent them all home. The Cat did fair better than the Bobcat and it was better than the Takeuchi. The cat could make the transition...

    Some pics of my ASV RC -30 logging

    I primarily use Pedro down at the Ranch, but I do haul it for hire on occassion to help it pay its own way. I still haven't found a single thing it can't do.

    Some pics of my ASV RC -30 logging

    You'll have to go to the webshots link, but I have a few albums of equipment, the Woosmoke Lounge, and the Phoenix Smokehouse. http://community.webshots.com/user/thegeevee?vhost=community Anyone want to question the RC-30's ability, have them ring me up, or show them this album.
