    Hi guys! I'm coming in a little late on the discussion, but that's ok. I just wanted to say that I have a 580b. Mine is also a ck. Which simply means Construction King. Anyway, mine has the same problem when it is cold outside. I have to let it warm up anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes depending...

    Hyster C625B Roller

    Hi everybody! It's been awhile since i've been on this forum. I've never visited the roller section until now. I'm hoping you guys can be of some help. My cousin has this Hyster C625B roller and he doesn't have a service manual on it. The oil has been leaking out of the sides of the drum. He has...

    What is it?

    Thank you for that. But this machine doesn't have a steering wheel. It'll be a while before I get back up there to look. I will look under the dash area when I get back up there. We didn't think it should be that hard to find. I found out one thing. It was from the brochure that Steve mentioned...

    What is it?

    I have been doing some internet searching myself on the Ford Balmar. Haven't found much. It could be a D60 or G60. Don't know though. I haven't had any luck finding out where I can find the model and serial number on the machine. There has to be one right? Been searching also for a manual. And...

    What is it?

    I saw what was advertised as a Ford Balmar D60 that was being demonstrated for a auction on YouTube. It looked exactly like ours except it didn't have a hoe on it. I saw some other pictures claiming to be D60's and they are different. I sure wish I knew how to positively ID this thing. Thanks...

    What is it?

    Thanks Steve Balmar huh? Don't remember ever even hearing that name. And I would have never guessed Ford. I know Ford made tractors but I never thought that's what this was. Wow! You wouldn't be able to tell me where to find a nameplate would you?

    Advice for my first big job

    Advice for my first big job

    Congrats on passing your inspection Oldandworn. Yeah grounding differs a little bit from state to state. The lug provided on the neutral bar is for bonding a metal nipple. It has been a while since I have done a split meter and panel. Playindirt is right about the power company wouldn't be happy...

    Advice for my first big job

    Oregon has a lot stiffer standards on grounding. They are called addendums. They require 2 ground rods when you are installing power to existing buildings. On new buildings you are supposed to have a ufer ground. That is a 20 foot at least number 4 rebar run in the foundation of the building...

    Advice for my first big job

    I can see where that would be the acceptable thing to do when you simply cannot drive a ground rod norite. I haven't heard of it being done quite that way though. Very interesting!

But there was oil at the top. :Banghead Before I jumped to conclusions I thought, lets check the shuttle fluid level. The level hadn't changed...

    Advice for my first big job

    Oh. something else I was going to mention....... I don't know about where you are at, but our authorities here allows us to lay the ground rods in the trench, attach the wire with the acorn, and run it to your service as long as the trench is 2ft. deep. :Pointhead I am pretty sure that is in the...
