    End Dump Pup operation

    OK, so I picked up a pup (with some warts) to go with my end dump truck. Both loads I have hauled required a pull to get going again. I dump the pup where it needs to go, then when I dump the lead, it seems that I MUST be jacked at 90* or I'm not getting out. The last load I was jacked at...

    15w-40 vs 30w vs 40wt

    I'm not a petrol engineer, but the best way it was described to me is: dino oil molecular structure is - open a box of uncooked spaghetti and toss it in the air. The way they land is dino oil. Synthetic oil molecular structure is the same spaghetti in the box.

    15w-40 vs 30w vs 40wt

    The 4-71 is in a grader. It is usually my last choice for snow removal, but if nothing else starts, it gets the nod. No heated shed, yes, block heater if it is close to power. You are probably right about the D 330 and Case 504 running dino oil. The 3204 has low hours and I feel there is a lot...

    15w-40 vs 30w vs 40wt

    I did a search and it said that my criteria was too broad. So, I'm asking a question that has probably been answered 1000 times. These are the engines and what I am running in them. I run the a good number in the winter too for snow removal. 90's Cat 3204 = 15w-40 Synthetic winter/summer...

    Pintle Eye extension

    For this summer I can get by running it as is. By my math I can only gross 78 and change - shouldn't be a big deal this year. I'll have it set up longer for next year.

    Pintle Eye extension

    Pintle Eye extension

    I need to lengthen my pup tongue by 2'. It seems the easiest way to do it would be to use a 2" diameter piece of rod then weld/bolt the rod to a new pintle eye. My question is what type of steel does the rod need to be? I don't want it to bend easily, but snapping would also be bad. I can go...

    Bobcat 743 power issue

    It's autumn. I have firewood to get in, 2 antelope tags, an extra deer tag and a Cat 955H that I just replaced the turbo on and need to get ready for snow removal. All that, plus the 3000 miles a week that provides income for my household. I'm not a mechanic and can think of NO JOB that is only...

    Yes, primer bulb. I don't recall the engine maker, just that it is a naturally aspirated diesel

    Bobcat 743 power issue

    A year ago I noticed that my 743 (natural aspirated diesel) Would choke out after about an hour of hard work. I sounded like it was starving for fuel, so I put a new mechanical fuel pump in it and thought the problem was solved. I only used it for short jobs and not at full throttle until now...

    Tire size change

    I have a Case W20B loader that is just a little short when loading a dump truck with side extensions. It currently has 17.5-25 tires on it. If I go to 20.5-25 tires will that help with the height issue? Will it cause any other issues? Will I still be able to dig, or will I be too far off of...

    Torque converter???

    Yes, and I even dumped all the oil, put in a new filter and put in new oil

    Torque converter???

    It still doesn't explain why the engine rpm stays high and no power is getting to the wheels
