    JD 772, directing heat

    Run a JD 772 in the winter months for plowing snow for the township. I understand the concept of running a "cool cab" which is easy to do on a nice sunny day, even when the temp is below zero. But on them cloudy days we can't seem to do anything to keep the fog and frost off the widows...

    End bits

    Having some issues finding the HEAVY DUTY cast end bits for a Semi U blade on a Dresser TD-15C. Our Dresser dealer says they can't find them anymore, just the "light" edges which don't last for nothing. I did find one guy that said he could get some but it would be 5 to 6 weeks out and $250per...

    The Detonators

    Didn't get to watch all of it, but from what I saw it looked like for once a good show. For the most part all the blasters I have been around are very good at what they do and try to do things the safest way possible. I've only been around rock blasting though. Pretty good I thought. I know...

    Saw for hire on TLC

    Just watched 2 episodes of Saw for Hire on the TLC channel. Not a bad show as far as showing what they do for projects(lot of ice storm clean up in OK). They were working on a few large down trees in congested neighborhoods. However, the boss acts like a hot headed know it all big shot...

    Komatsu swing problem

    Having an issue with my PC220LC-6 excavator. When you swing to the right it will go a short distance and STOP dead. The quicker you are swinging the further it goes before it "Locks". I swaped relief valves in the swing motor to see if it did it the other way but same thing happend...

    Winter fronts for a D6, any of you done your own?

    Of the two dozers we have at work TD-15C dresser and the D6H only one is set up good for winter use. Way back when, dad and my uncle took both of our 15's and had side boards made and put some canvas on the side shields to aid the fans blowing warm air back toward the operator. I'm looking at...

    Boots

    For the most part I am sure all of us wear some sort of work boot. Why do you wear the type and brand you do? How long do you get them to last? I myself have worn everything from CAT, Work-n-Sport, Wolverine and now trying my first pair of Red Wings. I work in a quarry enviroment and can...

My only hope is that TH doesn't try...

    Seeing the big picture is hard somtimes.

    As some of you know, I had grown up in the family earth moving business since I was born. Figuring that I would run with my dad until he retires then take it over, thats all I had planned on doing my entire life. In 2004 that all changed, when my grandpa finally retired(at 83) and my dad took...
