    143H Slope Control Systems

    I use a Trimble WM-Drain on terraces. It requires a base station. The one I use It surveys elevation, but only in a single line. Then you can change the cut/fill of that line in the design tab. The gps will hold that grade following the line you surveyed and will hold grade on each side...

    Question about purchasing heavy equipment

    I am not knowledgeable on the emissions and rules of older equipment. Aside from that my opinion is don't buy anything you're not prepared to rebuild. Are you going to run it enough to justify the expense of fixing it if it breaks?

    D8H Engine Swap

    I like the idea of your conversion, and I would think you could fix a pump to run the trans. To me the concern would be shifting forward to reverse without a torque converter. That's gonna hurt. And if you use the clutch I think that would end badly. Unless a guy came to a complete stop to...

    Well I am disappointed that I got the wrong service manual. I should probably just get the one for the 1AL series? Seems the things I look for like fixing the speedometer aren't the same. Anyone have one to sell or trade? The Pic is the sn's the 2 service manuals cover. I was also looking, but...

    So got the transmission and hydraulic oil changed and got a look at the filters. Magnets were good, not perfectly clean but no pieces of anything, a bit of fine black stuff.

    Big thanks is in order...

    Ever see people say "ohh my back hurts so bad?" Then they bend over and pick up something? And then put on their shoes? With out having to work at it for 5 minutes? Hope it's getting better Dave!
