    replacing bushing

    Hello, replacing a steel bushing on my case mini-sneaker trencher. The frame has been worn a little and the bushing is about 1/32 sloppy. The replacement bushing will slide in, while the 3 that are already on the machine are firmly attached probably driven in. I am sure from the vibration...

    post holes 2" pipe

    I was wondering if anyone else ever put in fence posts (2" pipe) with either their loader bucket or backhoe pushing down? I need to run 350' of fence and am looking for an easy way out. I can get an auger, but it would be 18" which is kind of overkill for a 2" hole. Any suggestions...

    Case Maxi-Sneaker

    sorry to drum up an old post, but I have a problem with my mini-sneaker. the frame has cracked on the back. Basically part #12 on the photo. I am pretty good fabricating parts. Anyone have success welding the sheared off frame then reinforcing the parts? Also, I see two top bolts that keep...

    vibratory trenching attaching poly pipe

    hello, trying to figure out the best way to attach black poly pipe to the chain running off of the back of my vibratory trencher. I see they make those metal chinese fingers, but was wondering if there is another method that may be cheaper than that tool. thanks.

    left/right pedals

    disconnected the linkage. left pedal free. right pedal hard to move. sprayed wd-40 in the two points I could see (outside and the center of the bar). no real difference after. Any idea how I will get this out? I dont see how this will come apart.

    left/right pedals

    grease comes out in between all of the metal pipes so looks like lack of lube is not the problem. guess I start taking it apart.

    1971 Case 580 CK lift cylinder pin

    three cans of brake cleaner, about twenty heat cool cyles, one air hammer tip and then a 20 pound sledge got it out. not too bad when you consider what I was working with. you can heat both sides. the back side is wide open too. next to wait for the seal kit....

    1971 Case 580 CK lift cylinder pin

    This is the hydraulic leveler, sorry for the confusion. I have the bucket on the ground. I can remove the bucket and then block up. I have the hydraulic lines off of the leveler so there is no pressure or fluid in the cylinder. The pivot pin (large one) moves both side to side and will...
