    "Shrinking" Mini Excavator - too wide for boat

    Jack up the back of the boat ( or hold the front down) and drive over the closed ramp ??? And, ya, doesn't really look like enough boat.... do you want to take that chance or find a bigger boat/smaller ex ?

    Bucket choices>corner gussets & other things

    No. I decided to wait until I could afford a much better custom made bucket that would be the same size as I have and probably last longer.

    EV

    That Edison truck only has one kind of drive (power) system and a way to charge the batteries so it's not hybrid any more than a train locomotive is :) Kind of splitting hairs but the line needs to be drawn !

    EV

    That electric truck is just GReat !!! Really refreshing to see logic and common parts used to create something useful.

    580 K parts needed.

    The latch assemblies are very expensive. $120? 15 years ago. Almost twice what the glass cost back then. A talented person could probably make them or something like them. A little hunting and you might find some similar heavy duty foam and make your own seal. I don't remember what the pull...

    JCB movement

    Solenoids often click when they aren't getting enough battery juice. The contacts on all but the forward one may have dust or grease or something or your battery voltage may be low.The contactor for the others may be misaligned. Check voltage. Check clean-ness. Many JCB service manuals are...

    510-40 landall

    This should be a link to the manual. https://www.slideshare.net/fjsekdmmme/jcb-510-40-telescopic-handler-service-repair-manual-all564542579365 You will need the serial #. I didn't read it and don't know if the color of each wire will be given. Are the batteries good and connected properly ?

    What's your hoe doing?

    25 years ago they had zero concern about burying a 30" gas line in wetlands. Made a major, permanent mess of the drainage on my land ( that I didn't own at the time) It only goes to industrial users even though they are in a small city.

    What's your hoe doing?

    My wiggely old Case went for a foliage tour today. Foliage isn't very good this year as we've had excessive rain all summer but I'm sure it liked getting some air in it's hair. ( There is moss growing on it ! )

    Overload of the Day

    I had a large wheel from the pickup behind me pass me on a country road (40 MPH) I'd seen the idiot steering back and forth, looked like he had spacers. It damaged the siding on the house it hit. Interesting that it accelerated after it got off the truck. I've also almost been hit by a set...

    Dump trailers, why does everyone love them?

    Here in New Hampshire there are no older trucks to buy. Turned to rust long ago.

    Dump trailers, why does everyone love them?

    They can get into places a big truck can't, dump under powerlines and carry a small load when you don't need a big one. Use mine lots. I've also carried 20 foot culverts, firewood and trash.

    6cyl industrial ford governor

    Thanks for the explanation. I have seen the Hoof governors but had no idea how they worked. I've seen the 223 Industrial installed in snowcats ( Thiokol 601, for example ) I'm more familiar with Ford 300 Industrial which also uses that governor sometimes . I'm curious what Seth316 is doing with...

    Overload of the Day

    I don't think that GMC is attached to that tank. The wheels don't line up right and the trailer is too far back.
