    Can a hydraulic winch be used on rgn?

    I had a salvage company get a burnt 322 I had. He had the winch on the tail of a trailer like yours and backed the truck up to the rear of the trailer to power it. I don't know if he chained the trailer to the truck or not. He did pull the axles on the excavator so it rolled easy. That's all he...

    811 bobcat backhoe

    I've had several of the bobcat backhoes on skid steers from the 743's, 863's and a 953. They all locked on a bracket mounted solid on the skid steer. He might be better off getting a decent older skid steer that can be used for other purposes and get a backhoe to go on it. He is spread over...

    811 bobcat backhoe

    I've got a friend that needs a backhoe randomly like once or twice a year. His problem when he needs one it's right now as he has around 26,000 hogs on confinement floors. He has a backhoe but it's usually got a flat tire or batteries down when he needs it. It's hard in our area to get someone...

    Root rake for 973

    Have you thought about having one made you can grab with the 4-1 bucket? Maybe have a slot that fits the bucket side so it would be secure even if not clamped tight. The ones for dozers sometimes hook to pin holes welded on the top of the blade. It would be a lot easier than unpinning the bucket...

    973 won't move

    Already killed this one, put the motor in another 973 this morning that blew up and took all the track frames and undercarriage for another one. We pulled the axles and it pulled on the trailer and off but when we swapped all the worn out stuff back on it the right planetary locked up. I'm...

    end dump trailer for semi, what do I need?

    Mine shuts the pto off when you lower the bed. It's a little bit of a pain if the bed needs lowered spreading rock. I've left the pto on with the old controls. Never left the bed up, don't really see how that can happen.

    Looking for tandem dump truck.

    I've had a 1994 int 9400 for 13 years now. 4 spring 855 9 sp. Was a tanker hauler,I stretched it to put a 15 foot bed on. Kind of ugly but a really dependable truck. I had 11,000 in it when I put it together and just basic maintenance since, all the leaf springs which were probably worn out when...

    951C Discontinued Injector Pump 4N2914

    I've got one, it would be a 150 hp pump from a blown motor out of a 963. Ran great till it threw a rod. There is a shop near me that's real good on pumps also. It shows your machine is 95 hp so a pump like this would definitely have to go to a shop and be set.

    d85p stops moving

    973 won't move

    Good idea on the brake circuits, i'm going to kill it but would really like to know what parts I have that are good. Pulling the engine Monday as I have another one that still has a blown motor. Putting one together but this will get it running quicker. My other one that I use for brush has a...

    973 won't move

    I can't answer that, it was taken apart when I got it. He told me the grinding was on the left side and said it locked up while he was driving it. I've had brakes fold over and lock one side before. I'm thinking maybe it locked up solid as I didn't see where they spun around a bunch. I'm...

    973 won't move

    I bought another 973 to kill or fix up not sure yet. Guy I bought it from said he was running it and it started making a grinding sound when he turned left I think it was. Done it a few times then locked up and wouldn't move just pulled the motor down when he pulled it into travel. They...

    Falling Scrap Iron prices

    I think DMiller is right on that, I've worked tearing stuff apart only to learn someone would give three times the money for it whole. If you have time that's the way I would go, you can always salvage them later.

    Falling Scrap Iron prices

    Got 140 ton for shred at Mexico Mo., all the other scrap yards are paying around 110 close to me. Had a farm I was cleaning up for a guy and he gave all the scrap to me. Worked great since I already had equipment there to load it.

    Dump box floor

    I have 500 dollars in this one after I sold the bed it was in. Just got lucky, was going to put a new floor in till I remembered it. You could do a wood overlay to get by depending on what you haul.

    Dump box floor

    I did a plastic liner floor in mine. It was thin and beat. Just happened to have a bed that had one I had bought.
