    stick seal for Caterpillar 307b

    Hello all, been dormant for many years but this old Cat is bringing me out of hibernation. I need to purchase seals for the stick cylinder on this machine and finding parts for it seems a challenge at best. It is a 97 307b, does not have the swing boom, has a Mitsubishi motor and from what I...

    c70 steering box adjustment

    Hi Bill, I got most of the slop out of the steering in that truck with the adjusting bolt. As you can see from that post it was a few years ago that I had that truck but as I recall the adjustment bolt was quite obvious on the steering box and had a locking nut on it so that once adjusted it...

    Schaeffers Grease

    Thanks for the concern Ron. I live about 60 miles towards the coast from Bangor. I don't get the paper or watch the news very often so I wasn't aware of that accident. My full time job is very demanding in the summer months. I have managed to read most of the new posts on here from time to time...

    Schaeffers Grease

    As promised I am posting my overdue report on Schaeffers Grease. Upon receipt of my case of grease I popped the top from a tube and stuck my fingers in it. This stuff is indeed very stringy and tacky. After greasing my machine I jumped on and started slamming levers like a mad man. The machine...

    Chevy C65

    I recently purchased this 82 c70 for 4000.00. It has an 8.2 diesel and had a previous life as a fire truck. I have had no problems with it so far and am quite happy with it. Kevin

    Help with Buying a Backhoe

    About a year ago I sold a 2wd case loader backhoe that was built in the early 60's. It was a model 2424. It was worn out when I bought it and I owned it for over ten years. I was able to get any parts that I needed from the local case dealer. They got me a complete set of parts manuals for it so...

    Offroad diesil

    I don't know much about politics but it seems to me there is some waste product in the White House that needs refining. These high fuel prices are putting some major hurt on people here in the Northeast. Everyone from the elderly to the truck drivers. Most of the people that I know have not had...

    Schaeffers Grease

    Sorry guys, I was just having a little fun with the palm greasing thing. I didn't mean to rock anyone's boat. I talked with Salesrep today and have a case of grease on the way. I will admit that in the 11 years that I owned a marine business I dealt with many company reps that were less than...

    Schaeffers Grease

    Hello All, Call me old fashioned but a person that uses a product and braggs it up means more to me than all the technical data in China. I hope Salesrep hasn't been greasing any palms.LOL When I did a search for a retail dealer in this area I noticed they were all Napa stores but the Napa...

    Schaeffers Grease

    Steve, I have been off line for a while. I am glad to hear that you are trying this grease and anxious to hear what you think of it. Kevin

    Powered grease guns

    Thanks, kind of hard to forget a name like PowerPunch. My local Gulf dealer doesn't carry Gulf grease any more and the stuff I bought at Wal Mart was running out of the bushings as fast as I pumped it in. I don't use enough to buy a 50 tube case of the good stuff so I'll check out Napa and get...

    Machine rate info

    This thread brings to mind a question I have asked on other sites. If a guy uses a 10,000 lb excavator and a 7yd truck to do small jobs such as dig ditches, driveway repairs, and landscape work what percentage of hours worked can be charged for? What is the weekly average of chargeable time...
