    What difference does it make?

    You can do magic with an extendahoe if you do it right.The hoe when extended is only meant for cleaning up your trench/hole and not for digging,a much appreciated convenience to this operator so you can excavate without pulling yourself in the hole and it helps when stockpiling your spoils to...

    Holley Carb Wizards?

    I am a Mopar man too and have rebuilt many Thermoquads and have found that one gotcha to watch for is those composite floats that come in the rebuild kits need to be checked for floatation.I always put mine in a bowl and compare them for specific gravity and make sure that both floats are the...

    Considering a D8N

    I have a lot of hours on a D8H/D8K and they are probably my favorite dozer.I have also run a D8N for a season and can't say that I would ever want to park it in exchange for one of the older ones although the N had a cab and A/C etc but they have good balance and are nimble,I think that you...

    Need help Bantam 450a excavator

    Can you get a pic for us?Usually there will be two levers out of the floor,one for each track but that would be too easy maybe.They are not all the same,the Cat 200 series had one lever that you wobble to steer and foot pedals for direction.Try to tease us with a pic or two.Ron G

    For those who like old Macks

    I am pretty sure that the Mack engines,the 673 cu.in. and the 711 cu.in. were both 211 HP and aside from an head gasket occasionally on the 711 they were both pretty good engines.They put a turbocharger on the 711 after a fashion which helped with the headgasket issue meanwhile they increased...

    For those who like old Macks

    Why don't you tease me Mike?I never saw a B-71 that I know of.It seems that the odd numbers in the model signified a Cummins such as B-73 etc but I have no rule book to guide me.I hope you get it and can't wait to see the results when you finish with it.Ron G

    Old Truck Quiz

    That Chevy pickup that looked like a '54 turned out to be a '55.I got it right because there was no other choice that was logical but the '55 Chevy pickup had a major change in appearance,almost like having the first V8,you just knew when it happened.I guess we never know everything,huh?Ron G
