    Tree/ Branch chipper information needed

    Thanks for the input and ideas. I can rent a 6" 25 HP Kohler for $230/ day, OR 12" 85hp Cummins for $500.00/ day. I have burned for years and I enjoy spending time out in the woods with a fire but it takes forever. I'm thinking trying a chipper to improve my production/efficiency and not have to...

    Engines that run out of control

    A long long time ago, on one of my first days of driving a dump truck I showed up at a construction site and no one was around. It was before cell phones and I was about to leave when a service truck came flying up and the operator jumped into the excavator and fired it up. I backed into...

    Missing

    My dad took me at 15 years old to work for his friend. His service station used Snap - on tools. The sign in the truck said " When you buy a inferior (Cheap) tool you feel good when you buy it, and Not Good every time you use it. When you buy a quality tool you don't feel good when you buy it ...

    ted load 4400LB, 8 Ply Rated load 5360LB, 12 Ply Rated load 6600Lbs. I think my machine weights about 12-13,000Lbs. Would 6 ply be heavy enough?

    Case 580C fan/ alt belt replacement

    I had the splines soaking for a few days, and the pump came off relatively easy. The parts store didn't have the OEM 17515 belt, they had 17510 and 17520. I got the shorter 17510 belt and had to remove both alternator bolts to get the belt on. Once the belt was over the pulleys the bolts were...

    Case 580C Fix up

    For the brakes... first pull the floor out. On mine with a cab and heat, I slotted the floor panel to be able to remove the floor without removing the heater hose. Use a hole saw to cut 2 access holes through the fiberglass dash panel on the left side to get to the Master cylinder bolts...

    580SL Manifold Heater vs Ether Injector

    How about a portable Honda generator supplying the 120 volt block heater? How big (watts) would you need? Then Go for coffee or breakfast. Probably better for the engine. I always have 120 V, but the block heater in my 580 C was a great investment. Is there a remote/computer controlled start-up...

    Lowest safe starting temperature 580C

    Success! I installed the block heater today all went very well. One note to anyone who is performing this task is that I was able to remove the plug, run a tap through the hole and install the heater without loosening or removing the fuel lines as the instruction state. I was just able to just...
