    International Workstar 7500 Baby tri axle

    So I have done a few things to the truck since getting it back from the dealer. Installed a JVC deck with bluetooth, USB and Aux inputs and also an 8" Bassworks sub to have some bass with the tunes. Also tinted the windows to 35% to cope with the heat while being loaded for hours on end(curb...

    Largest Wrecker in Northern Alberta

    I used to drive tow trucks... We had a 1990 KW T-800 with a Cat 425 with 1.8 million KM on it and still ran like a champ! That was a heavy rotator for its day. NRC Sliding rotator good for 80,000 off the back and 40,000 off the sides. Driving tow trucks(specifically heavies) is a rewarding...

    Ride control on CAT 924G

    I personally don't use it for plowing. I'm a trucker, not an operator. Heaven knows what the operators do with the machine! I will check what prefix of 924 we have to give you a better idea. Would there be a drawing somewhere online for these?

    Ride control on CAT 924G

    Sorry, I forgot to say it does not work in either auto or manual. I don't know if it has any power anywhere. We only use it in the winter for snow removal/big blade plowing but it's a job for a rainy day to work on. I'd like to have a little more information on how these systems work prior...

    chains vs straps

    When I was floating I used chains 95% of the time unless it was a load of wood or something along those lines. For moving cars I'd usually use chain and straps depending on where I could hook up to them. I have more trust in chain, but it can also get in bad shape pretty quickly if used...

    Ride control on CAT 924G

    Our 924G's ride control has gone all wonky. I am not an operator by any means but I am very mechanically inclined. I am sure I could fix this issue of it not working, but would anyone happen to have a schematic on how these systems work on cat loaders/backhoes? All the simple things have...

    Bucket Teeth/Wear Plates

    One of our operators is always ripping concrete and asphalt and for this he uses thin teeth. Every few weeks I will add a quick bead of weld with the MIG to help them last a little longer!
