    Need help with a Smith 100cfm Ford302V8 Tow Behind Compressor ?

    The manualslib has a manualslib.com watermark over the coil, making it unseeable. The other thing they did was use the 460 manual for 302, like there was no difference, and unfortunately there is. Besides that manuals lib's scan- if you have a 460 and don't worry about burning something up, you...

    Need help with a Smith 100cfm Ford302V8 Tow Behind Compressor ?

    Thank you. You saved my bacon. Green and Brown to Negative on mine, brown goes to a cutoff solenoid on mine. Red and black to positive. Brown is the oil pressure interrupt. Black is from the solenoid on the head. The only Gordon Smith or Smith I ever knew to be bad was the one the successor...

    Need help with a Smith 100cfm Ford302V8 Tow Behind Compressor ?

    Mine had an attempted theft in which the thief, deciding it was too much work to steal my compressor, decided to cut the wires on the coil, steal the coil, air cleaner, and carb. He got bit by a Great Pyrenees and abandoned the operation. Here is the info I need: On a Smith 100CFM Ford 302...

    Komatsu d20p-6 transmission

    most CNC machine shops will cut a spur but rarely will they cut a helical. they mostly only cut a cnc spur gear if they already have the code written. it is some tricky matrix algaebra, it is a 4 and sometimes 5 equation system, and if they aren't good with math, and the program doesn't walk...

    Komatsu d20p-6 transmission

    if it is a spur gear, there are at least two places in the us that probably have it in stock. if it is a helical gear, a little more tricky but there is at least one place that has it in stock. if it is a spur gear, you need to know it's number of teeth, the gear pitch, and its thickness. also...

    Section for komatsu d20,21 and similar grey market dozers

    A Google search will give you the full Factory Service manual for $9.95 on Tradebit. I have tried buying manuals, scanning them, and then offering them for just enough to recoupe my money. I've always sent manual first and then if it helped, please pay $1 or $5(in the case of a $500 manual that...

    Section for komatsu d20,21 and similar grey market dozers

    I have a D20PL-6. I know those are the numbers and letters, but not neccessarily in that order. One of the hydraulic hoses that goes to the 6way blade, the cylinder on the left side(sitting on the dozer), which pushes the blade out, has a hose that got cut in two. The other thing that is of...

    Invest $$$ in dormant S1854 w/ DT466 or dormant Ford L8000 w CAT V8 - to haul equip

    I should have mentioned: The S1854 has no rust. The litter bed has rust but the frame doesn't. The person who attached the bed to the frame used oak as a spacer between the bed and frame. I don't know if Hudson cobbled Loboys, this one is a titled 12 ton Hudson loboy. It uses 14x8.5 rims...

    Invest $$$ in dormant S1854 w/ DT466 or dormant Ford L8000 w CAT V8 - to haul equip

    My dad has an S1854 with a spreader(chicken litter) bed that he has given me. He had the brakes supposedly gone through, but they locked up. The mechanic took it back to his shop, supposedly made some adjustments, and it seemed to have no brakes at all, as well as no leaks we could find. He kept...

    Komatsu D20-P6 clutch pedal is stuck. Engage the NST & rebound about 1/4. Help

    I have a Komatsu D20-P6, it is a straight shift dozer. It was loaned out then sat awhile. Went to crank it, put a 1000CA and 550CA in it, and so long as you have the NST engaged the dozer starts. The clutch pedal then releases a 1/4 to 1/2 way, but it won't release all the way. The joystick...

    Project John Deere 450 Purchase Perspective

    I'm not looking for any advice here, per se, just some perspective, if anyone wants to share. In terms of crawlers: I own a John Deere 440 dozer, and a 1969 International TD6-62 DROTT skid shovel. I'd like to have another crawler, something with more power than the 440. I like John Deere...

    Help on pre purchase advice for a dozer

    Alright. Serious foot in mouth in disease here. I saw a burned dozer on the side of the road at a local gas station. Went back, it was a New Holland DC100, 2000 model. Damn thing is a Case with a Cummins motor. If I can buy it for scrap, I am going to get it and fix it.

    Help on pre purchase advice for a dozer

    There is an equipment pirate down in Georgia that goes up to Maryland to get all his stuff. I call him a pirate because he was paying off the dock guys to let him bring in newer grey market Kubota(which makes them very, very ill) and other grey market tractors and equipment. Well, to make a...

    Help on pre purchase advice for a dozer

    Possibly it is of Macmoter-Fiat heritage branded as a New Holland, possibly with a Perkins or Cummins engine. There are some of the NH's that are basically rebadged Cases. Though, CNH had promised not to do that.

    Late 1950's John Deere 420 Crawler Steering Clutch Adjustment

    Alright, my memory may be shot, but is this roughly the basic procedure to adjust steering clutches on the old dry clutch ag-based machines(ie: JD 40, 420, 430, 440) - Remove round access plug and top cover. - Loosen bolt on throw-out(1/2" headed bolt you have to access through round hole)...
