    Hi Guys, I have a little stone wolfpac 3100 with a honda motor. It runs great for a few minutes, then it acts like it is starving for fuel. We've changed the filter, and cleaned the carb. Also drained the tank and got a bunch of crap out of it. When it starts to mess up, letting it set for a...

    L10 Cummins smoke issue.

    I picked up a ford L9000 single axle this summer with a 280 hp L10, I have quite a bit of white smoke at low rpm, I'm thinking it's going to need injectors, it runs good and strong and the smoke clears up after you get going. Anyone have a rough idea of what it will cost to do injectors? Also...

    Dozer for skid CTL? Need help.

    I have a chance to trade our 1990 450G for a 2006 cat 247B. I had my mind pretty well made up, but last night a friend said he felt I would regret it if I let the dozer go. In the last 10 years we might have put 200 hours on the dozer, and I know we would use the 247 nearly every day. I feel...

    Buying equipment at auction.

    I've never been to an auction, and I'm wondering how you go about making your purchase. Do you need to get pre approved from a bank and have a letter to present to the auctioneer, or can you get financing on site. I'm going to Kissimmee in february and just might have to buy something.

    International 2500 engine compartment.

    My 1994 international 2500 has nothing to protect the motor under the fenders. Is this unusual? It seems it to me, I was trying to think of what I could put in there to act as a " curtain" to keep debris off the road from damaging the motor. Thanks!
