    No front brakes!!!!

    My good looking old KW W922 doesn't have front brakes... That's how you can tell if your new driver is adjusting the brakes for his pre-trip. Just ask him, "were the front brakes out of adjustment?" When he lies, which he will, you have him poke his nose under the truck!

    Owning and operating costs for Dozers

    A large percentage of the hours on this machine were extremely casual... It was on a cranberry farm, owned by my father, for most of its life and it was idling a good percentage of the time... Seriously! I actually hate to sell it, but I just don't have any work for it. It comes with: 36"...

    As my equipment continues to sit parked, the realization that selling selling out and going back to the white collar world of transportation safety/insurance continues to gain appeal... So, if someone is looking for a great little 490E with a hydraulic grapple and bucket & thumb, just let me...

We ended up taking it apart, from where the throttle linkage goes into the governor and rebuilding all those little pieces and installing a new spring. I...
