    Cat D6 9U-need an engine D318

    So I rescued this D6 Saturday before the scrap man got to it. Not in bad shape other than a hole in the block. Anybody got a lead on a D318? D6’s, 12 graders, DW10 and other power units used them. Heck I’d take a complete parts machine if it wasn’t too far away. Hour meter says 0405 for...

    JCB parts in North America

    Anybody got a good source? Last time I got parts around here it was through what used to be the Cat house before Warren bought them. A quick look shows they aren’t a dealer anymore. I emailed a place in Arkansas so we’ll see. Prefer to work with somebody that comes recommended lol. Finally...

    Mitsubishi K4N Engine Spec Needed

    Howdy all. I have a little K4N Mitsubishi engine out of a 305 Cat excavator, S/N DGT01086. I can get the specs Cat shows on their media for it but they’re leaving out one particular measurement the machine shop needs. Centerline of crank to the deck of the block. I’m sure this is intentional...

    Wanted 2 Stroke Detroits

    As one of the resident 2 stroke whack jobs this post shouldn’t come as a surprise! I’m on the hunt for some engines. Honestly if the price is right I’ll take ANY 2 stroke. Mainly looking for a 4-53 or a 4-71. I’ll take a core, pull out etc. Main thing is cheap. If there are several engines...

    Roark SSD-7 1-1/2" hydraulic torque wrench

    I've decided to sell my hydraulic torque wrench. I got it second hand but unused new condition. Doesn't appear to even had a socket on the drive. I've never even put hoses on it and played with it. It's good for about 7,900 ft lbs max and about 800 min if memory serves. Easily searched on...

    Booster shims and tie downs.

    Here's another video attempt :-). Just got to the yard with the IMT 180 I loaded yesterday in Tx. I briefly covered shimming the booster and how I tie them down. Might help somebody fighting an unruly trailer or load. Or it might help y'all decide I'm full of $hit. We shall see!!

    ELD's. Whose using what?

    As much as I hate the idea....we don't have an option for a few of our rigs. Of all the people in trucking or who run them and have to use Electronic Logging Devices which system do you use? Pros? Cons? I've been delegated the task of determining who has to use them and what system to use...

    Aftermarket Cat C-15 Cylinder Head

    Anybody have any experience using an aftermarket C-15 cylinder head? I see them for sale on eBay etc. Are they worth a flip? There's potentially significant savings but if they're junk it's not worth it. I have a BXS Acert that needs a head. I'm going to do a 6NZ conversion and keep the...

    Ok FA/AC guys I have a question. I found near me an HD16 sideboom. Waiting to hear back if it's still for sale. His asking price is reasonable. Less than $10k and open to offers. Looks to be in good shape. I'd use it around the yard for lifting various things and I also think it's cool...

    I think I already know the answer but I'll throw it out here anyway. I have my old Pete 359 for sale. A guy offered a dozer for partial trade. Older international. I assume TD20B. He didn't say TD just 20B. It's a cable machine. Call me crazy but I'd like to have a cable machine. I like...

    Junkyard's work thread.....maybe haha

    While I don't do stuff near as cool as most of you I figured I'd start showing what I do on a regular basis. I'd like to name my favorites on here, but being a father of five I've learned to avoid hurt feelings haha. I manage equipment for a small excavating company. We run a D11N, D7R, D5G...

    Need input-- using conveyor system to move material on reclaim jobs

    Hydraulic Test Equipment

    Hello fellow wrench turners and knuckle busters! I'm curious what you guys have for test set ups. Store bought? Accumulated over time? I have a few odds and ends but far from complete. I've looked at various kits and darn sure won't buy anything made in China. Some of our stuff has test...

    Hello HEF! I'm always looking to add to my arsenal. Bossman keeps growing, buying bigger iron and expecting me to stay on top of it and avoid the Cat house at all costs. Good thing is he doesn't seem to mind when I throw down his hard earned $$ to keep up with things. The latest stuff I'm...

    D11N Air Conditioning

    First time poster here..... We have a D11N, the boss man has finally decided to get the A/C working. My question to the big iron guys is this, am I better off utilizing the existing setup or converting to an aftermarket system? From the looks of things it hasn't functioned in quite some...
