Wheeled skid steers for winter project
Hello all, I'm feeling like we will have plenty of downtime this winter and am looking for some shop projects. I'm thinking of doing a complete rebuild of a Case 95XT and maybe a 75XT to give the guys work when we can't get out or while, increasingly, we wait for permits to be approved. We...- fuggly

Grove RT questions
Hello. I bought an old (68649 sn) 518 and a 528c (798XX sn) from a local quarry for around scrap value. The 518 runs and functions fine with the exception of the front steer, greer lmi, weak brakes, and a small stabilizer cylinder leak. The steering problem is that it seems to turn fine to the... -

RT or ARC?
I need a crane about as much as most of the Range Rovers I see need 4WD. I'm going to get one anyway. I had a decent old Grove RT 515 and it was a huge help with a gabion wall project. I had scheduled a month with an excavator and with the crane we finished it in 7 working days. I sold it for a... -

IH/Dresser 412B wheels
Greetings all, Our pan restoration project is coming along nicely. What we feared to be locked engines turned out to be starter solenoids fried by jumping with low voltage. One of the 2 is running and functioning fully with very little blowby and only a few hydraulic leaks. The other will... -

Plenty of paddle pans
Last Friday morning I had zero paddle pans (which may prove to be the perfect number to have). Today I have 3; Dresser 412B and IH 412B and Cat 615 46Z machine. The Cat needs batteries but seems to run pretty well, the 412's have been owned by a local contractor for the past 20 years or so and... -

Old paddle pans
Hello. I'm a small contractor in central Va with a fleet of mostly older equipment with mechanical engines and transmissions. We are considering picking up a small paddle pan, more because I want one than any immediate need, but we have been on a couple of jobs lately where I think a pan would...
