    ASV 40 adapter plate

    we have one that I think is a blue diamond brand- very rarely gets used only if we need to rent a Toro style attachment we dont own (vibratory plow, etc). what brand one do you have now? The RT40 is pretty strong I could see it tearing up an adapter. if these are attachments that dont need...

    8 Ton or 12+ ton Excavator purchase questions

    Thanks for the replies so far- seems you guys are helping to convince me of what I already suspected was the case. Some details: I agree that brand really doesn't matter- I care less about the brand or color and more about who I have relationship with for parts- we do 99.5% of our repair...

    Takeuchi TL150 travel issue.

    Had the same happen on a TL140 twice- these bolts are part of the centering device for the pilot piston circuit for the left and right drive circuit. On our machine it would always want to drift after you let off the control (not ever return the pilot piston to "neutral" Even if its slow to...

    Anyone using a 2015/2016 ASV skid loader or track loader?

    Dig deep...it's good to hear your opinion, I respect and trust what you say. Is terex totally out of the MTL game now? I think the machines will pretty much out perform and outwork most other machines in their class but the build quality is just terrible. I have a pt-30 and had been...

    2012 Case TR 270

    Everyone puts so much importance on dealer support, but I've learned time and time again the only person you can rely on is yourself. I've bought new equipment and used equipment, they all need work. Not sure the new stuff is any better to be honest in my opinion. I can't say I really want to...

    takeuchi tl140 isuzu engine trouble

    Mine is hard to start but still has good power and doesn't really use any oil. It's got a load of hours though and I can only imagine compression is down when cold. It's still a really strong machine however. I did the glow plugs, injection pump, and injector rebuild. Better but no brand new...

    t140 left track won't turn forward until hyd sys warms

    I have a copy of a manual if you want one, you can also buy digital copies online for maybe $10 that were pretty good. The hydraulic system is intimidating but once you think about how it all works it makes sense. I bought one that one side would always keep going forward even if you let off...
