    Help, my excavator is sinking

    The old Aussie farmers used to chuck a stick of dynamite or diesel/fertiliser charges under dozers stuck in mud/clay to break the suction then gun it as soon as the charge went off. They also used it to remove stumps, dig holes, loosen up gravel......you'd never get away with it these days...

    941 grease point????

    Thanks for the info guys. Can confirm nothing under the seat that looks like a grease point. Smitty,do you have to crawl under the machine to grease that point on the 951 or does it point outwards of the frame,or do you remove the floorboard plate in the cab? Cheers
