    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    I don't see a place in this forum to place Cummins questions. Did I miss it? I'm not actually sure it's a 4BT. The CPL is 2857, engine family is 1CEXL0239ABA and it was built in 2001. It's in a MX13XT-01 loader/grader/ripper, no pump disconnect that I know of. But it's not even trying. Any...

    Atlas lifts ... anybody run one?

    I'm about to drop a lot of cash for an Atlas 12,000 lb 2-post lift in Abilene TX that requires 14'9" of overhead to ceiling. One buddy runs 9000 lb Atlas lifts and likes it, but the 12k is a beast by comparison, to lift our F550 class trucks. Anybody running one? Do you like it? Supposedly...

    ISO roller compactor with remote control

    I have a Wacker trench roller with remote control. I rent a bigger roller if I need one for a job. But I'm tired of getting hemorrhoids from sitting on a vibrating roller. And the guy I hire sometimes to run machines for me says the same thing. Does anybody know who makes a big roller...

    How to get crappy TSC paint off my roof?

    We paint our roofs white for the Texas sun. On my '99 and '00, I used Rustoleum and it still looks fine. On this '04 I used Tractor Supply house brand Majic paint. It started to peel after 2 years, makes streaks down the windshield too. I saved a few bucks on that gallon, but now I have to...

    89 alerts?

    Howdy guys, The forum logged me out, I got busy, and now I have 89 alerts. Wow. Sorry if I didn't reply. I don't have time to look at 89 alerts, so PM me if you need. Looking at my life savings go down from inflation, I decided to finally build a shop my dump and trailers will fit into for...

    Dynapac CA1300D high fuel consumption

    I rented this 10k lb vibrating roller for a large shop pad. In about 3 hours of use it consumed 5.5 gallons of fuel. This seems high to me. But then it has all that Obamao smog junk on it. None of my own machines have DEF, DPF etc. Is this high fuel consumption a product of all the modern...

    16 ply new tires, getting tire chatter, never had that before

    My grader is small, 4whd, 14k lbs. @cuttin edge and I both run these oddball small machines. In Texas it's called a maintainer, but Texans have a different word for many things. See pic below. It's excellent for country gravel driveways built with commercial road base. I think they were mainly...

    Crazy old USAF truck for sale, could be my water truck

    Guy is selling it locally. It will carry 1500-2000 gallons of water, which is my interest. Fight grass fires and wet down road base to compact it. This truck was used by the USAF to deice airplane wings. The boom has been deactivated in a brutal fashion, they just sawed the control box and...

    855 big cam running hot ... DIRT culprit?

    Today we had about 100F in Texas. Running loaded, the 855 was getting warm over 60 and up hills. That's classic radiator insufficiency symptoms. I was dreading finding a radiator for this ole 1984 truck. Got home and pulled out this nifty 90° squirter the LS dealer gave me with my little 55hp...

    Anybody print your own Driver Daily Log Book?

    DOT Driver Daily Log Books are $6.50 now, 31 entries with carbonless copies. I only run my dump truck local, to the quarries and job sites. TX DMV says I don't need full logging or that onboard digital crapola. I don't think I even need copies. I only have to keep the record a week, it says...

    How to get an hour meter fixed?

    Where to buy a 7' loader bucket lip extension?

    My Mauldin M413XT has a 7' wide bucket. I want to extend the forward edge to increase volume capacity. I priced a piece of abrasion-resistant steel and it would be $650. Even my welder/steel guy said that's too high. We both thought that I could find one for sale to weld on and pay less. I...

    Which oil filters for a Big Cam 3?

    My 1985 International has a dual filter setup. I read that this is stock from Cummins, one filter is bypass and the other is full flow. Right now it has a NAPA 1970 and a Baldwin B7577 in there. The Baldwin is listed as a bypass filter. Just wondering if anyone can confirm that these two are...

    Big Cam 3 drive for tach on IP ... friction drive?

    I've been battling tach issues for a month. I finally found and installed a NOS tach that works, cable drive. It required a little IAO (improvise, adapt, overcome) to get installed as the clip on the back was somewhat different. But it runs. Then it stopped. We took it out and shortened the...

    Brake Press warning light, 1991 International 4700

    One of my sons has a 1991 International 4700 non-CDL truck in his shop. It has no air brakes, and neither he or the boss have seen this kind of brake setup before. He just replaced the front disks and calipers, which are conventional, and the brakes work fine, but he's only test driven it...

    Strange contraption on throwout bearing

    I was greasing my driveline when I spotted this odd critter. It's a wire in a rubber hose, twisted around the shaft just behind the throwout bearing. Is this a standard part of an Eaton 9-speed behind an 855 Big Cam? Or did somebody put that in there? Everything seems to be working fine, a...

    Any drivers here in that big Canada convoy?

    Just wondering. Most OTR guys I see have pretty darn good internet setup in the cab. If you are in it, can you give us first person reports? I don't trust the press anymore.
