    Fluid hand pump or something?

    I have a dispenser that was factory made for service stations probably 80 years old. It is a heavy upright tank about 3 foot high with wheels and handles built onto it. Tilt it on it's back and remove large plug and you can pour a couple of pails of oil in it. Put plug back in, stand up and...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    Changed out 20 feet of rotten air lines. A good neighbor says he has some extra paddles for the the beaters for me. Everything else seems to be working the way it should. 6 cylinder turbo with intercooler, aftercooler and tip turbine the Mack cool power system. Son says I should paint it the mad...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    Welder Dave you are 100% correct on your assumption, most of the truck mounted units out there are going for 60-90k which is not unreasonable if you are going to use it full time but I am not. One sold a couple of weeks ago at auction for 41k which is getting closer to what pencils out for my...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    Yes I own the land I want it spread on. It's a hayfield adjacent to the stockpile. Oct - May typically either frozen solid or too sloppy to do anything. May - Cows and calves are on the field until pasture is ready. June - July hay is growing. August - I am cutting, baling and hauling bales off...

    95 Mack What's the Good Bad and the Ugly

    Considering a 1995 Mack CH613 for on farm work, will probably never see the road again. Starts and runs. 20 000 hours and 445 000 miles showing on it. Truck is 600 miles away, already figured out shipping cost. If the price is right are they a half decent rig, or should I close the page on the...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    I put a few loads on our garden every year and yes it is great stuff, I have given a few loads to neighbor's as well but being that we are about an hour from the nearest city of any size there's not much of a local market for it. It will grow some real nice hay, this is why the field right next...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    Welder Dave Not a bad idea if I could find a few more trucks and drivers in the area. This whole exercise started when I had enough of writing an ugly cheque to the corral cleaners every year if I could actually get them out here when needed. Last time I had them out it was something like $100...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    The stuff I am working with has already rotted down to half it's original size, looks like nice rich black topsoil so traction shouldn't be a problem. Cost wise everything is paid for so other than fuel and a pail of hydraulic oil every other day, the wear and tear on it and my body are the...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    Thanks Tones those are the numbers I was looking for, this pile took me 6 years to build so I can either divide the cost of hiring it done by 6 years every 5-6 years and stomach that or put the funds towards equipment that I can put to other uses as well. In my opinion old half beat to death...

    Scraper vs Loader and dump truck

    Just looking for ideas. Currently I have a Case W26B and a Ford L8000 tandem dump. I have about 5000 yards of well rotted manure I need to move about 500-1000 feet, level off and seed. Would a motor scraper do the job faster and more efficiently than what I have? I could either hire one or buy...

    Sick of stuck need advise

    Thanks for confirming what the voice in the back of my head was telling me to do. Started off with 6 loads of boulders followed by 8 loads of 4-24 inch rock and the hole is now high ground. Going to finish cleaning the pen out tomorrow then lay 6 inch of gravel on top of it all to smooth things...

    Sick of stuck need advise

    Trying to finish off cleaning the corrals before things freeze up. ( Using an old Case W26 loader) One pen has a low spot that has water in it for a good part of the year. (maybe a 20x20 spot that holds water) Cleaned out this pen last year, a little slippery but no problems. ( Put decent...

    Stupid Question tire chains front or rear

    Wallowed around in the mud and snow and got the chains on today. Worst I have ever sworn putting chains on. Two come a longs a pry bar and a big hammer to get the miserable things done up. Tires on machine were all pretty close to being the same size. With the gooey slop I am working in the...

    Stupid Question tire chains front or rear

    Case W26b wheel loader, tires are decent but cleaning corrals the last while with snow now on the ground and temperature right at the freezing point things are getting greasy. I picked up a pair of chains and am trying to decide where to put them. I was going to put them on the rear wheels...

    Champion 560

    Thank you for your reply Graderfan, the link you attached is saying it is over 25000 lbs. I am thinking that must be the fully dressed weight as I just got off the phone with Jade equipment and they had a brochure for that exact model and they said it listed the base weight as 19500 lbs. Still...

    Case W26 vs W26B

    Recently purchased a CASE W26B Wheel loader and I am looking for a shop manual for it. I have come across several W26 manuals for a fraction of the price of a W26B manual. So what I am asking is what is the difference between the two? From photos it looks like the cab is slightly different...
