    Is anyone else getting this on the forum main page?

    For fun, ask your favorite AI platform like Grok to summarize your HEF username profile. Rather disturbing. I don’t like where this is headed in the long run. My wife had AI read some X-ray’s the other day and compared it to the radiologist report and AI was pretty close. Or, maybe the...

    2024 Cat D7G

    Apparently, it’s a Chinese clone, marketed as a Cstar-Dozer-CAT. Zhengzhou Carstar Vehicle Sales is the dealer I could find.

    Makes me sad we are not allowed to have these and that we are forced to drive big American pickup truck.

    Pickup bed toolboxes and gooseneck trailer.

    I like a good pickup flat bed thread. I hear that our Australian Bros call them “tray backs” down unda. Is there any truth to that?

    Toolcat 5600 has hydraulics but will not move

    That’s a story of the ages. A hydraulic line gets replaced, machine works for a short time, then it doesn’t. Is it a coinkydink? Or, does the narrative suggest a contaminated hydrostatic system? A little dirt or debris from the new hose, that went unnoticed. flushed right into the drive...

    Curious about IEEE 387 Class 1E backup power

    I’m not following specifics nowadays, but I’m fairly certain new installs have to be tier 4. EPA can provide a waiver for certain remote Alaska installations, tier 3. S.163 - Alaska Remote Generator Reliability and Protection Act 116th Congress (2019-2020) Funny story. I got invited to...

    Curious about IEEE 387 Class 1E backup power

    3406 c misfire

    It never fails. It had the misfire before you touched it. Every single time. I learned not to touch bonnet o-rings, unless the customer signed a warranty consent. Want a warranty? Fine. The pump is coming off and going to the fuel shop for a complete reman and test bench. Because...

    Welcome to the HEF. Good to have you. That’s a mighty fine engine. You're never late with a V8. Knowwhatimsayin? The fuel transfer pump is bolted to the guvna. But, it’s a gear pump and they just don’t die unexpectedly. They usually start leaking before catastrophic failure. Yes, I’m old...
