    420F2 CAT

    I have a lease 420F backhoe. Got it last Friday. It is real nice , loaded with electronics almost too much. It developed a problem after about 4 hours of use. The extendable stick hose caught under the retraction somehow and shaved it to where it started to leak. There was nothing overhead to...

    Deere 310J

    I'm considering the purchase of a 310J with 3000 hrs on it. The price seems fair has the cab with air and aux hydraulics. I have a 416C Cat and wonder if anyone knows how they compare. The 416 has been a solid performer and still is , fuel consumption is very reasonable. The CAT guy says a 416E...

    Eqipment repair tax deductions.

    There may not be an answer to this question but I thought I would ask. Just say you spent 10K $ on repairs , What % would you get as a refund on your taxes? I had a guy try to tell me 90% , I can't see that , my guess would be 25 to 35%. Figuring in that the business made money but it was spent...

    Hey repowerguy got a question.

    Is it possible to install a 4BT in a 943 powered by a 3204? If so what would the results be as far as power gain? I have a 943 spotted that needs an engine and thought this might be the best alternative.
