    Cat E series excavators

    We had the machine onsite for a short period, but I was impressed with how quick the machine was. It was easily faster then the other D's that were onsite.

    Removing cab speaker in JCB214S

    I have a 99 and im guessing its the same. all you need to to remove is the front part of headliner that the speakers are in. theres a few screw heads around it and you also need to remove the interior mirror.

    choosing the right dozer

    Those 650J's are real nice machines. I ran one loaded out with a full cab last summer for a bit it was smoother then any cat G series machine.

    Wanted: Grader that fits do-mor 707 loader

    Alright yea i kind of figured that they wouldnt want to split them up. The whole value of the machine is with the blade on it.

    Wanted: Grader that fits do-mor 707 loader

    http://www.rockanddirt.com/equipment-for-sale/DO-MOR/none/invnum=35532852 The add isnt for just the backblade, but theres a chance they may be willing to sell the blade.

    1995 CAT 928F loader

    With only 2000 hours on a 17 year old machine you should be golden unless the loader was beat on left and right.

    Snow removal question.

    Its a thought, one thing is a dozer doesnt have much speed and if you just put rubber pads on your tracks I dont see much traction happening. I could be wrong though

    Reclaimed asphalt as gravel on driveway?

    I would reccomend RAP in a second for a rural driveway. It binds great and if you have a way of compacting it well after the initial grading, there will be minimal grading needed. As for any needed grading it would depend on what type of machine youll be using to grade.

    JCB Return-to-Dig problems

    I have a 1999 JCB 214s backhoe loader with the return to dig parts on the machine yet it does not work. If anyone has some pointers on spots to check out to fix the function it would be much appreciated.

    I dont remember the guys number but i can tell where he lives. He lives right where main and brickyard meet coming out of eastlake. There is usually a domor or two sitting out there along with a couple of older machines

    Plannin on purchasing my first backhoe

    Being an 05 its hard to believe but, but maybe they still had parts built when they were fermec's and yellow. Our 01 is yellow and says fermec but other then that its identical to the terexs today.
