    Need a diagram of a Gardner Denver AT 300 series drill

    It took me some trial and error, but I finally figured out the manufacturer of this machine: Gardner Denver! This machine is an absolute relic! Mainly because it's one of the machines from my past still in use today! And I plan to use it in my remastered map of Yuendumu's Outback seen from the...

    What happened to the optional over-center boom backhoes?

    As of today, Case Construction is the only manufacturer to make the over-center boom backhoe loaders (pull the boom lever, and when the boom touches the 90 degree mark, push the boom lever to lock the backhoe into transport mode so it doesn't bounce so much). But way back then, Caterpillar also...

    Why do some skid steers "reach high" but others don't "reach high"?

    Bear in mind, I'm just transitioning from operating an excavator (as I've always been an excavator operator) to using a skid steer. One thing that struck me as odd is this: some skid steer lift arms are designed like an accordian to allow the bucket to reach very high. In cases where it has to...

    I need a tutorial and a diagram on Diesel Air Compressors and their parts and functions

    This is for anyone who's old school and still uses diesel air compressor-powered tools. I'm doing what I like to call "reconstructing my childhood" in Blender. I'm trying to recreate a pair of Fast Lane Construction playsets that contained (if purchased together) two excavators (one with a...

    What's the biggest skid steer loader?

    Well, "skid steer" is an earthmover, isn't it? But I couldn't find skid steer under earthmover, so I had to improvise. A skid steer loader isn't quite like a front loader, and this sub forum is "tractor/loader/backhoe". So that's what made me think this was the correct category forum to ask...

    What's the biggest skid steer loader?

    So far, the only suspects I have on my list are the New Holland L334, the LS190B, and the LX985. The skid steer has to be big enough to quickly load up a single body dump truck while at the same time turn tightly like any skid steer loader in one spot instead of backing up and driving forward...

    What size breaker would I use on a Mecalac 15 MWR?

    Out of blind luck by just using the keywords "mecalac 15mwr", I found a YouTube video with this. I screenshot it to show you. What size North American breaker attachment would fit an excavator like this? A Kent KF 45 is too big and fits a 30 ton excavator. While a BTI TB425QA is too small and...

    How do combine operators know when to unload - from within their cab?

    Well that's a ton of corn soup money out of that guy's pocket.

    How do combine operators know when to unload - from within their cab?

    Oh, for crying out loud! A sight glass?! Why didn't I think of that?!

    How do combine operators know when to unload - from within their cab?

    I'm not sure if Combine Harvester counts as a heavy equipment, but after watching this - especially while eating jelly-filled donuts, I feel satisfied - as grain makes up bread, pastries, noodles, etc. and watching that grain pour out of the unloading auger makes me say "delicious". But here's...

    Identify this pneumatic crawler drill and I need a PDF manual of the KR 806-3G control console

    Title says it all: I need a PDF operator's/controls manual of the Klemm KR 806-3G - specifically, the joysticks, knobs, and buttons on it's left-side swing-out control console. It has to be exactly this model as the older or newer models may lack features or controls that this Klemm KR 806-3G...

    I need a diagram of tilt hydraulic lines

    I'm trying to reconstruct that tilt slab bucket by Bateman Manufacturing in Blender, but I just recently noticed that each tilt cylinder has two smaller hydraulic lines that connect to the main hydraulic lines that connect to the excavator/backhoe's stick lines. So... does anyone have a diagram...

    How does the 323F's cabin air system work?

    Yesterday, part of my lesson with the excavator at the transfer yard was air-pressure cleaning the 323F's air filters - the engine air filter and the cabin air filter. But when I removed the cabin air filter, there was sawdust trapped in the gap between the cabin air filter's frame and the slot...

    Help identify this drill rig please

    This crawler drill rig was used to drill giant holes along with the Hitachi UH 122LC to help build a highway retaining wall. But I can't identify it's model and manufacturer. It definitely isn't a modified Furukawa pneumatic rock drill. This crawler drill rig has an engine compartment mounted...
