    3406C

    Are the rings installed correctly 120 degrees off on the gaps? We bought a 3306 long block that was doing same thing. Rings were installed wrong. It was in a loader and would burn 4 gallons by lunch. Cat mechanic said he takes the liner piston assemblies apart, because rings have been aligned...

    88 379 with 2 speed rear end

    Bought this truck at auction. This is a tandem with I believe 461 Eaton 2 speed. I’m sure these aren’t factory on 88 model. Nothing is hooked up to shifting motors. Looks like air went to the top and some kind of wiring harness plugged in on bottom. With nothing hooked up does it default to low...

    Dump body on aluminum frame?

    Thanks Truck Shop, this one has a 10&1/2 inch c channel frame. It’s 1/2 inch thick. I believe this was a transfer dump truck at one time. The end of frame has holes all over, like something bolted on. It looks like a factory day cab. I’ll probly just put a 5th wheel on it and pull end dump or...

Does anyone got any pics or ideas of how to mount a steel dump body on aluminum frame? I’m also needing to put a...

    Trucks carrying dirt onto highway

    Had a guy tell me on those yellow composite things, they will roll tires off the wheel on like lowboy trailer. He works at a city run mulching operation. They have unlimited funding. He said wheel washing station worked best but was problematic

    Trucks carrying dirt onto highway

    For now we will just pick it up and use loader to move the dirt. I’m trying to figure out how to set it up to wash it out. With 5 H beams , I can’t figure out how to wash the dirt trapped between them. I may be able to blow them out with air but haven’t tried yet. I’ll try and get some pics.

    Trucks carrying dirt onto highway

    I had rumble strip thing made. It’s 13’4” wide by 25’ long. Made out of 6” H beam with 2” angle iron every 6 inches. That gives 2.5 revolutions on 11r24.5 tire. This thing was worth the money. Really cleans tires up. Not completely but way better than without. I’m planing on putting one more on...

    Need advice on making oil sand

    Sorry fellows didn't get any emails notifying me of the responses. I got a little info from the county barn here at home. Basically blade dry sand with low grade crude oil, or mixing it with pug mill. Without asphalt plant this can only be done in summer time. For me I don't think it will be...

    What equipment to buy for commercial firewood operation

    I really have no idea how many cords I have. I'm guessing around 1000. If I can get the wood cut. Was gonna use rubber tire loaders to push cut wood in a pile. Then use dump trucks to haul it to my yard on the interstate . I used to cut firewood back in high school. We got 80 a cord delivered...
