    TD15c trans problem

    I found the model number and serial number on the plate by the engine. I should've done that in the beginning but I'm not the sharpest knife in the cupboard. Thank you guys for the help.

    I currently operate a TD 15... but I don't know what exact model because it has been all repainted..it does have the steering in which you can put either lever forward (high low)??? The drive shaft does spin as soon as the machine is started...does that signify any problems? Where can I find...

    Largest V8 Rc Skid Loader High Rpm

    Here I thought there was somebody in there the whole time until the end when I saw the guy with the remote. Guess I ought to learn to read a little better. Imagine the land clearing/excavation you caould do with the tracks alone.

    Need ideas

    Wondering if anybody can give me any input on wheel loaders that have the quick couplers to go from bucket to forks to other attachments. Looking for a machine which provides the best field of view clear of any obstructions when picking up a load. For transport purposes and work loads I'm...

    backhoe frost ripper

    Here in WNY the ground freezes up really fast and I could really use one of those attachments. The 1 ft bucket does well on the hard ground but the larger buckets have to do a little more pounding on the ground but will still do the job after some abuse.

    How to lock the boom, 580B

    On occasion I can get it just like the video but most times it's just a tad rougher. That's all I use at work is a Case 580SM.

    attachments

    Do skidsteer attachments, forks in particular, match up with only one brand or can a JD set of pallet forks go on a CAT? Or does each brand have their own forks for their own machine?

    ISO/ASE Controls

    That ISO/ASE thing is just another name for backhoe/excavator control pattern right? At work we share some equipment with the utilities dept. and their operator always switches the controls around. I can mix and match but everytime I get in I have to double check with slow movements before I get...

    ?? on equipment numbers and letters

    Can anybody enlighten me on the way a machine is classified? I understand CAT dozers are D 1-12 meaning smaller to largest and some terms like LGP for low ground pressure. But what does D6N XL mean? Komatsu D41 E, Case 580SM. I just don't understand this. Do excavators get their number by the...
