    Purchased Deere CT332

    Seems like really low hours for that idler to be worn out..... Only thing I can think of is maybe the original owner only turned one direction? Make sure to find out the appropriate torque spec for those bolts!

    Hey mechs, What's in your box?

    Does anyone have a MAC Macsimizer series box? I am looking at them right now, but have never even seen one. How do they stack up to the Tech series boxes? What are your guy's thoughts on them?

    stolen machine

    Lo-jack. That's you're hands down best bet. If so equipped, unplug the ECM. Take some time and install a 1/4 turn ball valve some where in the fuel line close to the pump. Also, if at all possible, try to park all of your machines in a real crappy way for thieves. Excavator bucket...

    Ripper Balance

    It's up to the operator. Some guys like it this way, some guys like it that way. It's all what *feels* right to YOU!! Don't let anyone tell you what you like is wrong. I have two Dresser TD40's. One has a ripper, one does not. Some guys will only run the unit with a ripper, some guys...

    D10 getting some serious work.

    Hey mods, I know that this forum software has an option for a "Reputation" button. Why don't we use it? I would rep you if I could. That is exactly correct my friend. Edit: Long before, I would say not. Within that last 22 hours of operation I would agree with. That was the last time I...

    D10 getting some serious work.

    Well, Last number I heard was around 10k. Recon'd parts and labor. It has about 20k hours, but was overhauled not THAT long ago. Not fixing it really isn't a financial option right now. We pretty much run'em till they won't can't run anymore. I have a locomotive that is still in operation...

    What is or Was The Most Day in Day Out Reliable Engine Ever Made?

    Flathead Ford 4cyl, Ford 9N. Built in 1939 and never been opened up. Not even a valve job. I don't know how many hours, but it's 70 years old and doesn't drip a drop of oil. Been in the family since new, have all the records of maintenance and original bill of sale.

    D10 getting some serious work.

    Here are some more pics of the jacked bogey. Note that these are AFTER the removable liner was dislodged. All that is disfigured casting. That last shot is what I happened to pull out of the suction screen (trans) of the same dozer..... Looks like the fun isn't over yet. At least it's...

    What's The Craziest Mechanical Problem You've Experienced?

    Not exactly the same. A shudder is caused by lack of flow, not lack of pressures most time. If the spool was just sticking a little in his machine, the pressures could check fine (as he said) but the flow can be way down. No real good way to test it.

    Hey mechs, What's in your box?

    Maybe I wasn't clear. It's all mounted on my F550. I have to stay mobile.

    D10 getting some serious work.

    An important thing for you guys to know is that I work for a private contractor. We hold the contract for the local utility provider and service all the equipment at the coal power plants. These guys just don't care about the equipment. They have a real strong union and will not be fired for...
