    Case 85XT won't move. Loader hydraulics work fine, no warning lights

    Got an 85xt that won't travel forward or backwards. Loader hydraulics function as they should. There is no moaning or noises to indicate that the brakes are stuck on and it's trying to drive through them, it's as if the machine isn't even trying to move. Every once in a while it will briefly...

    Case 430 controls won't unlock

    I just got a Case 430 in the yard a few weeks ago that has been working flawlessly for me. Went to move it yesterday and it starts up fine, but the (P) button to unlock the controls doesn't do anything. Usually when I first sit in the machine (without turning the key) the control panel...

    Anyone using Harley Rakes to grade existing driveways?

    I just bought a used Harley rake (6ft) for my skidsteer. Bought it because the price was right, but I do have a few gravel driveways that need to be graded. They have been neglected for years and now have some serious potholes in them. Anybody using theirs for gravel drives? Or mostly...

    Does anyone have any info on the smallest Letourneau scraper ever built? I have been hearing stories of one that is fairly close to me, and might be for sale. I thought it might be a neat machine to take to the next HCEA show, but am looking for any info on them first. Thanks.

    Compatibility of electrical plugs for Aux. Hydraulics

    I have a couple of Komatsu skidsteers, some with standard flow and some with Komatsu's SuperFlow high flow hydraulics. With the Superflow system, an electrical plug is fitted on top of the aux. hydraulic lines (I assume to control various functions on an attachment). Is this electrical plug...

    ASV "green" turf tracks?

    A customer of mine (tree trimming service) just bought an ASV RC-50 to move trees and brush from the jobsites to his chippers and chip-box trucks. He sort of bought the machine on a whim and is now concerned with how much damage it is doing to yards. He used to use a Bobcat MT55 with minimal...

    How are truck-tractors' GVWR calculated?

    Bringing a Northwest 28D Crawler Dragline back to life

    About a year ago I purchased a Cat 120G grader for resale, and part of the deal was that I take "an old dragline" the yard manager told me. The old dragline turned out to be a 1980 Northwest 28D, which had not run in about 15 or 20 years. Animals had moved in on it and chewed up most of the...
