    Had new hydraulic rods made

    I’ll call and ask, but I doubt I will get valuable information. I’ve dealt with the place quite a bit, and there is always some issue. I had them fix a blemish in another rod a few years ago, and the machinist mushed the threads for the grease zerk when he put the eye in the lathe. Rather than...

    Had new hydraulic rods made

    Both rods had severe blemishes in the chrome. The rams needed resealed, and it would have been a waste of time to reseal with the damages rods. I was going to take them back and tell them to build them right, but after looking at the cut ends of the factory rod, it looks like they built them...

    Has anyone else heard this?

    I know for a fact that the 4 cylinder John Deere diesel in my old man’s 4895 stops in the same spot every time, cause there is a grease zerk on the drive shaft coming off the engine that is inaccessible when it is pointed up. And that grease zerk is pointed up, in the same spot, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    Had new hydraulic rods made

    Yes, eyes were cut off old rods and welded on the new ones. Based on the dozen or so rods I’ve had made in the past, I was expecting something similar to the image below, where a noticeable bevel was cut, welded, and machined back down. The majority of the area where the eye and rod met was...

    Had new hydraulic rods made

    Hydraulic shop charged me $1000 labor to make these two new rods. Does anyone see anything wrong with the way the eyes are welded on?

    A/C Compressor Parts

    I have an A/C compressor off of a John Deere tractor that I am trying to find internal parts for. John Deere part number is RE57936, which I believe is a Denso 6E171. The only thing that appears to be wrong with it is a broken reed valve. I am looking for a set of reed valves and seals, but can...

    100 Ton OTC track press

    When I was looking at pumps and pullers a few years ago, I noticed that some of the OTC stuff looked identical to Power Team. I am almost certain that your ram is the same as a double acting Power Team RT1004. But I don’t know if Power Team offered a full track press. You could contact them and...

    Looking at Telehandlers-Need Some Input

    When I was working underground, we had 3 Ingersoll-Rand 1056s. They all ran 22 hours a day in the most extreme environment imaginable. They were simple and rugged, and were down very little. We had tried multiple other brands before IR, and nothing else came close to holding up as well. CAT was...

    Culvert pipe pricing?

    True North Steel in Billings makes galvanized culverts, and gives the best prices I’ve found. They also sell HDPE drainage pipe, and are similar in price to Northwest Pipe. The best deals I’ve gotten on HDPE came from American Pipe & Supply in Cut Bank, but I was buying SDR pipe. Not sure where...

    JCB 215 Series 2 Backhoe - Perkins Diesel Dies Under a Load

    I’m guessing there is a stuck lock valve on your stabilizer ram. Try taking it apart and cleaning it. Follow the hoses coming off the ram until you find a small block with two hoses coming in and two hoses going out.

    High Amp Alternators for Older Equipment

    I’ve added multiple LED flood lights to the front to supplement the poor factory lighting, and plan on adding more to the rear. I was having an issue with the battery draining if I used the heater and lights at the same time. It has gotten worse with the addition of more lights. Thank you for...

    High Amp Alternators for Older Equipment

    Does anyone have any ideas on where to find a higher amp alternator for a 1993 JCB backhoe with a Perkins 1004-4 engine? This is the current replacement for the factory alternator. https://www.malpasonline.co.uk/oem/LRA461/Lucas I’ve emailed most of the manufacturers that show up online with a...

    porta powers and pin pullers

    I should have added that I ended up with a Power Team pump and some rams. They appear to be well built and some of the stuff says made in USA. Don’t use it a whole lot.

    porta powers and pin pullers

    Hydrafore is the brand that appears to have some of the same tools as Temco. This is the pump I was disappointed with. Would not recommend.
