    Best Method for removing and sealing rust

    No pictures huh? probably knotted wire wheel on a grinder, then ospho. Needle scale it first if the rust is bad enough. Sandblast is better, but messy.

    Prevodovka clark zle preradenie

    original: Hello, I have a forest tractor with a Clark 3-speed transmission, I don't know the exact type, but the year of manufacture is 1995. The problem is that the shift between first and second gear is so sharp and jerks shifting from second gear to third is nice and smooth What could be the...

    Wilson alternator

    Wilson doesn't make their own designs, they're aftermarket copies, so that looks like a leece neville or prestolite or something. Those are probably AC outputs that are there for testing maybe? not usually hooked up on vehicle alternators, you could use one for tachometer drive, but the others...

    Moving to USA

    Doing it legally is a long process, do you have that taken care of already? Doing it under the table is quite possible, as demonstrated by thousands every day... I'm familiar with both, what would you like to know?

    Hydrated lime to dry mud

    Using it for soil stabilization is common in TX and OK and not much elsewhere from what I've seen. Highly dependent on the chemical composition of the clay you're dealing with, as far as I can tell. It wouldn't be my first choice given your area, and at that price, I'd compare to portland...

    Hydrated lime to dry mud

    More of an emergency fix. Expensive and short term compared to more rock. Quick lime would be more effective, chemically absorb some water turning it into hydrated lime, so much more concentrated. And heat up nicely at the same time. I have not used it to dry mud, but used plenty in masonry...

    Anyone have experience with large portable pressure washers?

    Well yeah you have to hold the trigger, the pump can't pump water against pressure while sucking air! If it's draining back that might be an air leak, not a pressure pump problem. Add a test port to the suction side high spot and see if it leaks back or stays full. Don't rebuild it if that's...

    Question on Starter for 4-53 Detroit

    a 24v alternator is easier to swap than a 12v starter, and BETTER. If you don't use it often, I'd hook a solar panel up and forget about the alternator, or even add a DC to DC charger to charge the second battery.

    JCB 1550 engine knock

    Any pictures of this 3/16" piece of magnetic metal? How did the oil pressure look? My impression is that is a heavy slow low powered engine, so not likely to hurt the bearings by overheating it.

    JCB 1550 engine knock

    Not a lot of JCB experts on here unfortunately. What's the history of the machine? how fast did the knock develop? anything else happen at the same time? has the oil been kept up? changed, ever? I'd loosen the injector lines one at a time to see if you can isolate the knock to one cylinder...

    Stuck in the middle of the road

    I can't help with the electrical part. If it doesn't get better by shutting it off, disconnect the battery for a minute, then try again. If you just need to move it off the road, does the backhoe and loader still work? put a some scraps of wood under the buckets and wiggle off the road...

    Anybody put a winch on their backhoe, so they don’t get stuck in mud

    A winch on a backhoe is like lingerie on a young bride, nice idea, but it's not needed and just gets in the way. A 2wd backhoe is not going to be able to load and back out of mud holes. If you keep within the limitations, it can do loader work on soft ground, but not slippery ground. Once you...

    Babbit counterweight stroke adjustment

    Babbit is bearing material as far as I know. You sure that's not just lead? Probably doesn't matter one bit, just curious. Either is going to shrink a bit if you pour it, so it will have to be pressed into place. I'd try either a large shop press, or a tool of some sort to place on the "soft...

    Cat overcharging

    They're not that bad to figure out, unless they're not working, then it takes a little longer :). If you wanted, you could probably find a new regulator online, but the Delco is easier.

    Hydraulic Cylinder Rod End - Grease Won't Flow

    If you can't get a good enough bit to drill the bushing, then a masonry carbide bit will drill hard steel if you sharpen it to a little sharper angle on a grinder.

    Cat overcharging

    He has one bad battery, and both being overcharged. This is not just one bad battery causing an issue with the other one.

    Hydraulic Cylinder Rod End - Grease Won't Flow

    I wasn't expecting those pics. Take a right angle o ring pick and find the hole in the bushing, clean it out, remove the zerk, clean the hole. There's usually a groove around the inside so the bushing alignment isn't critical. If it won't push grease through, try oil in a grease gun, while...

    ihi 35j engine ran away on me today?

    No, that's not the way the fuel system works. I'd pull the valve cover after running for a while, I suppose it's hypothetically possible that worn valve guides combined with backed up oil would suck enough oil to run. Usually the crankcase breather is away from the intake, but if that was run...
