Found it on google searching for forums discussing machine control. I've been in business surveying and supporting machine control for two years and this is the first place I found with topics on it.

Hi Steve , I am a personal use heavy equipment owner. I am a Aerospace Engineer that was once served a Tool &Die Maker Apprenticeship.
I started working at the boatyard near my house at 9 years old scraping and calking boat bottoms and eventually running heavy equipment at the age of 12. My first taste of equipment was operating a Link Belt Speeder crane dredging out Travel lift launching bay with a clamshell. I purchased a handyman special property in 2001 and bought a Case 580 B to dig out stumps and drainage ditches and to install my outdoor wood boiler which was the best investment I ever made. I recently bought a Bobcat 864 with a Quick Claw to grab the logs and make my wood fuel handling much easier. I am eager to post a problem I am having with the Bobcat but first I need 3 post and this is my first. I can probably help alot of people on here with my knowledge but I will be the first to admit that I am still learning everyday. Well I have a complete machine shop and welding shop at home since I left the union and went into the engineering dept and the machine are off limits to non union employees.

I found this site thru a member from Australia. He asked if I knew about the site and added a link. I've been "lurking" for several months and have enjoyed what I have read. My interests are more towards the transportation end of the spectrum but I enjoy reading the equipment posts.
Great website.

I recently acquired an old, obviously, Poclain LC150. I have a really poor copy of a parts manual that is incomplete. I am looking for all the help I can get. ( The previous owner tried to correct what was probably a dirty filter issue by removing valve parts.) I'm not sure which ones and I'm looking for Hydraulic schematics, etc...
