    t 190 foot controls wont work

    I had a T200 that did that back in 04. Flip the acs switch and your controls should switch to the joysticks. If I remember correctly the problem was in the acs switch, I ended up taking t to the bobcat dealer cause I didnt have time to mess around with it cause I really needed it.

    Best mini excavator?

    I like the Bobcats the best mainly because of the horsepower. I've run the 435 zts and even with a 3 ft bucket it was very nice. I had to bring in the stick as I spun over the side of the tracks then extend back out when loading a truck, but for the production its a minor hassle if you want to...

    Fiat Allis 262B's

    WOW, when I originally posted this thread I had no idea there were so many FA fans. Fiatallisguy, great pics of those machines, I especially liked the Christmas line up shot. I found this video for a 263b http://youtu.be/hCOnxqea724 not sure I did it right but the machine is pretty cool.

    Fiat Allis 262B's

    Any pics of the 262's or any FA machines would be great, if you can get some video of them it would be better. Glad they are still being used somewhere!

    Jason, Excellent vid man, there isn't anything wrong with the old iron actually its better than the new stuff cause it is paid for. A client of mine asked me to run his '78 dynahoe and his '78 jd 450c at his property cause he couldnt run the dozer. I jumped at the opportunity, love the sound of...

    Pedals or Levers

    When I'm digging I like using my feet to move, unless unloading from my tag trailer, then I use the levers. I dont want to put any pics on here from falling off the trailer if my foot slips off a pedal or something, THAT would be embarassing! EGS, they have my vote in '12! GO CREW! Steve

    Fiat Allis 262B's

    Stepp3360, Good to hear that there are some out there still, don't know when I'll be up to NC to look for them. I wonder what they are asking for them? On top of that its pretty slow here business wise, but I sure would like to sit in one again. Believe it or not, I have never sat in a 627, but...

    Fiat Allis 262B's

    Fiat41b, Were they selling those machines at that time? From what I remember they did have cummins engines in them and I loved their sound. Last time I drove by about a year ago I didnt see any 262's there at all. Hopefully, they had good operators on them and are running somewhere. Sometimes...

    ISO/ASE Controls

    I learned to dig on a bantam 166 and that machine had two longer sticks in the middle with 4 pedals on the floor. The right stick controlled the boom up and down and the left stick spun the house. When the company upgraded machines it was easy to adapt with the sae controls. When I got on the...

    Justed picked up New CAT 289

    Stick Pro, Thats also a nice 43 that you have there. My question is what is the difference with the controls that were mentioned on here? I haven't sat in one yet, I look at it as why torture myself seeing that there is no work. Are there more buttons to push? Do you have a good view of the...

    looking for a dump truck. is this one a good deal?

    92b16si, if you have long hills, unless you get an automatic, you need something with gears. I suggest 10 speed at the least, I had an '87 .mack 5 speed as my first truck and the truck got worn out Also, if you get something with 700,000 miles or up see if it has been given an overhaul...

    Fiat Allis 262B's

    I was wondering if anybody knows of any FA 262b's around anymore. I ran a few in the mid to late 90's up in Wis., but haven't seen any since. The company I ran them for has gotten rid of them(I think) and went with 627's. I've also looked on machinery trader and all they have for sale is the the...

    Slewing in some concrete with the old 225 today

    Special Tool, Thanks for the pic it gives me a real good idea of what it can do. I have just been looking around on machinery trader and I was thinking about the 225 or possibly an older 270 Kobelko. Like I said I'm just starting to look around, not in a big hurry right now but you never know...

    Who would like to see the "C" version of the 943 Caterpillar Loader?

    What really would be nice is if they made the 43's again with the ability to run attachments like you can with the ctl's. Could you imagine a tiller or a bush hog attachments on a 43, I have had a few job I could have used something like that on.

    963b or 963c? Pros and Cons.

    I would go with the 53B or 63B mainly cause of the computers in the C's. I have talked with owners of the C's and they would go back to the B's if they had the chance, but they have too much money in the C's to try and go back right now. Most of them have said the travel is slower along with...

    Slewing in some concrete with the old 225 today

    Special Tool, that 225 looks like a nice machine, when things pick up down here again that is one of the machines I'm looking at buying. Do you have any idea the rpm's it puts out at full throttle? Also, does it have good lifting power?

    New found love.......

    Back in 1996 when I got my apprenticeship thru Lcl 139 in Milw., I told them I didnt care what machine they would put me on and the next day they put me on a Fiat Allis 262B scraper and I loved it, call me crazy I dont care. I wanted to run anything and I loved moving dirt. I spent 3 months on...
