    Oil and Gas industry people, what are these pipes used for?

    Our grass has decided to start growing now. Had 24mm about 1am last night in a storm and it was quite widespread. Overall though another disappointing season so far. As for prices, getting a bit sick of reading how grinding beef into the US is at record high prices, meanwhile the abattoir...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    I have a cobbled together thing of my own creation here. A 3 cylinder compressor head about 40cfmdirect coupled to a hydraulic motor what all goes on the forks of my Dingo. I also have a large air tank I sometimes connect to it to clean out bores on the odd occasion, but it runs hot and the...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    I have heard about those VW compressors before. Never seen one though. I apparently must be a tightarse as I wasted my time going to the auction. There were 5 on offer all ex hire company. 130 and 185cfm all went for around the $10 000 mark. Even the one with the out of ser4vice tag. And...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    Yea I am not familiar with US emission laws, but I do know that some small things here powered by 4 stroke Honda motors have a sticker on the side saying "Not for sale in US or EU". Also I remember reading quite a few years ago people who were importing Indian made Lister CS clones into the US...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    Over here there are zero legal requirements on emissions for any off road engine. Only road registered cars and trucks have emission requirements.

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    Always found it interesting the way in the US you had industrial machines with petrol engines. You never saw that here until you got down to the single cylinder stuff like pumps and lawnmowers about the only other thing with petrol motors were passenger cars or small 2wd commercial vehicles...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    No not looked at them. Probably a bit more then I was wanting to spend. Although I do feel used screw compressors might be a bit of a lucky dip. Looking at online auction results and it is all over the shop price wise for machines that look the same. Looks like Genelite is another importer...

    Small diesel rotary screw compressors

    Looking at buying a small (130-180 cfm) diesel screw compressor. Something like an Atlas Copco or Ingersoll Rand (Doosan) I know how they work, but that is only theory, practical knowledge is very little. What do you look for when buying a used compressor, to be used for machine blow downs...

    Oil and Gas industry people, what are these pipes used for?

    Nothing substantial here. In fact it is getting a bit concerning for a couple of paddocks that got burnt. Those couple of weeks of stupidly hot weather sucked out of the ground what moisture profile we had. It is quite green again now but we only get 5mm here and 10mm there. Nothing of any...

    My D6D

    Getting a bit sick of this. Stripped a bolt on the idler block or whatever it is called. Put in one of those threaded inserts.

    D9H vs D8H blade

    I think it highly unlikely.

    Shipping a couple D7Fs overseas by container

    OK so I watched the videos on fast forward. They put no packing between the dozer frame and the track frame. As it is sideways the entire front weight of the machine is supported by the dead axle acting like a giant lever all the way to Africa. A sizable chunk of timber jammed between the...

    Cat d6c final drive leak

    Here is a used spare I had in the shed. Should be about a 1/4" gap. This photo is of a machine equivalent to yours.

    Cat d6c final drive leak

    Did the sprocket push on to the correct dimension? When I had to replace the bull gear hub on my D6D, one supplier told me they tested each aftermarket one they sold (just by laying a master part on and measuring a dimension) as they had experience of some aftermarket parts the tapered spline...

    Shipping a couple D7Fs overseas by container

    I have a cousin who is currently struggling to get two old rooted D7F's of the same vintage going so they can do some pulling work. He could do with some spare parts. Starting with a D7R.

    My D6D

    If we go back a year I posted an image of what I had been up to. Here is a follow up photo. There has been a bit of "fertiliser" spread over the weeds to help the grass.

    My D6D

    So this is what happens when you blab to others that you managed to get snapped roller bolts out in situ. They come and drop off their old D6C with the exact identical problem. Admittedly a really nice condition early 60's D6C. But since the operator also ripped the rear guiding guard off the...

    1980 D4E Transmission fluid level rising

    On these machines the torque converter is integral to the transmission. The flywheel is dry.
