    Dump Cylinder Plumbing Pics

    These are pics of the cylinder I'm trying to use, and the type of valve arrangement that is on the truck.... Hope these will clarify what I'm up to, and thanks for the input and suggestions.....

    Dump Cylinder Plumbing

    I recently added a dump body manufactured by Perfection-Cobey to my 88' International 1900. The truck has a central hydraulic system that powers an old school Frink plow and wing setup. What I thought would be a simple swap has taken a bit of a turn when I went to do the plumbing.....The valve...

    Engine Swap Questions

    My 1986 International 1600 has informed me that its 6.9 diesel is no longer interested in going down the road. The reason I know this is the muffled rapping sounds coming from low in the block, and that any resemblance of oil pressure has ceased to register on the dash gauge. Having driven...

    1986 International 1600S Wiring Issues

    My 1986 International is giving me some wiring issues. Particularly with rear tail and marker lights. This truck plows snow and also spreads sand and salt for the town in which I reside. Some connections broke due to corrosion, which is an easy fix. Remove crappy butt splices and replace...

    Winter wipers

    Having completed plowing in the recent blizzard, I'm looking for details on what needs to be done to replace those absolutely USELESS fairweather wiper blades on my 86 International. My local International dealer in Manchester suggests I need to replace not only the wiper arms, but other wiper...

    Waldon

    Nobody got any ideas or suggestions on why I might be getting this "fading" of power with this machine? Should this question go in another section? Thanks.

    Waldon 5000

    Maybe somebody could offer some diagnostic help..... My early 70's Waldron has an issue with its pump (I think:beatsme). I've owned this little machine for a year or so with the intent of doing a little work to it and then flipping it to move into something a little newer/larger. Good plan...

    Final drive question....Again! Komatsu PC30-5

    Well, I salvaged all the good parts between the two HY-DASH drives that I had, so I could assemble one that works. After careful cleaning and inspection, assembly and installation, it seems to move forward/reverse smoothly and quietly. I'm thinking, I'll put the track back on and see what...

    Road Millings

    I've recently acquired several loads of road millings that I spread on my gravel driveway to fill in the ruts and regrade some low spots. The material is somewhat coarse and a bit difficult to pack. Careful backdragging and running back and forth a few hundred times has helped, but is there...

    Bobcat 100/ Komatsu PC 30-5

    Looking for a operators cab door for my mini. I'm looking for the complete assembly in salvageable condition. Frame, hinges, hardware, with or without glass. I've tried some local distributors and have gotten little more than sympathetic smiles and references to the Smithsonian Institute...

    Locked Drive Motor Follow-up

    It took some time to get this off the machine and disassembled for inspection and evaluation. What was found inside isn't pretty, and not a sight for the squeamish. :eek: Still not sure why this occured, maybe somebody might look over the pics and get some idea. Thanks for looking.

    Locked drive motor

    Got the drive off the machine and brought it to a guy that deals with obsolete machines and unusual problems like mine. We disected the thing bit by bit looking for metal shavings, or broken pieces. Crankshafts, pins, top gears and bearings all looked good, so the problem had to be in the...

    UH OH! Drive Motor Has Locked

    Just when you think things are going well. Found a "good deal" :confused: on an entry level mini excavator. All she needed was a final drive motor to replace the one that self destructed on the Left side. Not to mention a bunch of other items that were worn out, no longer working, or missing...

    Installing/Adjusting Steel Tracks

    I just took delivery of a replacement final drive for my Bobcat 100, aka Komatsu PC30-5. Would someone be able to offer suggestions or tips on replacing the track. I'm doing this single hand, and I've dragged that track around a bit to know it's heavy and awkward to manage. It looks as though...

    Bucket modification

    Picked up a grading bucket on Craigslist for a reasonable price. I thought I could make it fit my machine with a few minor modifications. You know, cut this, weld a couple new bores, patch it together somehow....I actually needed to change the distance between the ears, and the more I thought...

    Bobcat 100

    There sure are some really nice machines posted here, and I wouldn't mind owning one of 'em for sure. The prices on these have kept me at bay for the most part, until I came across this little gem. Found it on craigslist, met the owner, looked it over, and made an offer that I think I can live...

    Boom repair

    Hi All, Continuing work on my obsolete TLB. Making some progress and I could use some suggestions at this point. Openings in the boom which enable the dipper cylinder pin to attach to "links" which operates the dipper were quite worn and peened over. This was a result of lack of maintenance...

    Dental work

    The teeth on my backhoe were worn nearly to nubs and I wanted to replace them. I was also missing one of the stubs that was welded on at some time in the past. Off to the local supply house and got the base, new teeth, and these pins with rubber in the middle to hold everything in place. Job...

    Boom Repair

    Could use some advice here, I've got a 1986 Sperry/New Holland LB480. I'm sure there are some people that may be saying, "Jeez, to bad", and others staring and saying "Tsk,Tsk", but it's what I could afford, and aside from its flaws, I'm starting to like this machine. So here's where I...
