    JD's new Premium Circle

    Someone is going to have to get inside one of these circles. I also assumed it was a Rotek style bearing. Never an issue greasing these on excavators.

    JD's new Premium Circle

    I think the concept is great. We are running graders with well over 50000 hours and I just wonder how this idea would pan out in the long term. Kudos to John Deere for thinking out of the box. I like that. I guess there is no way to adjust for wear and that, I suspect, would be the issue

    MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. Red & White Iron, Past and Present....

    At one time a company called Custom Engineering pretty much made all the crew boxes and pickup boxes on the coast. The crew boxes were like a section of school bus that was mounted on a cab and chassis. These were used by the tower crews on the rigging and fallers. The fallers used to have a...

    Vancouver Island, BC. Logging at its Best!

    That upright log or pipe under the left front bunk is interesting. Presumably to save the 5th wheel, etc. assembly from being abused at the sort.

    CAT 140M Fumes and Carbon Monoxide into cabin

    Show us some pictures, please. If you are really worried about carbon monoxide, you can get a one the size of a credit card and put it in your machine. That’s what we have at work. You could go with a straight exhaust pipe and a rain cap or move the A/C intake to a different location.

    Needed parts book scan for scale model of a Cat D8H

    You might want to give eBay a try. Just checked there and there’s a number of parts books available. Best wishes.

    Has anyone considered a rebuilt engine as opposed to rebuilding the original?

    Cutting edge wear

    Our company has been experimenting with various edges for more wear life. They seem to have settled on the double carbide strips inserted in the bottom. They last forever but once the middle sections of carbide go the wear in the center of the blade is extreme. I tell them they should just...

    Ending a pass?

    Not sure how much road width you have. I work in mining with a 24M with lots of road width (10-11 passes to do the road width) so what I do when I’m coming to the end of the windrow is crank the front end hard towards the next pass, articulate to get a tighter turn and spin the blade so it...

    Contact at T-Mar?

    I’m sure you are right. Surprised they aren’t keeping the website up to date. I think this tethering business is going to put the squeeze on cable logging.
