    This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

    I don't think it's illegal to give a bad reference (at least here) it's just asking for trouble. We typically just go with the worked these dates, made this amount of money and is or is not available for re-hire. Most places are so desperate for employees they do not even care if you say an...

    329d John Deere planetary drive

    I'm putting corn head grease in the one that leaks and just watching it to make sure. My plan is to tear that side open soon and see if I can find some service parts for it.

    329D water in Exhaust

    I've got a 329D John Deere Skid steer that normally is parked inside. I had to leave it out in the rain for a few days and I noticed it blew some carbon out the exhaust on start up and there appeared to be some water in the oil. The exhaust is cut fairly straight up and down and doesnt seem like...

    Where would they come up with enough back halves of jeep liberty's? You notice there is a tow ball by the "little robot" end? Is that the front or the back?

    Looking for an interesting way to bump this thread and then the cats in the internet tubes delivered this to me. I have so many questions.....the only thing the ad said was: 285 HP Cummings Engine. All hydraulic. Cash only. Local pick up only. 100’s other interesting items not listed. They...

    Dump trailers, why does everyone love them?

    Well my tandem single tire trailer weighs 5693 and with a 22k rating I can haul 16k and change. Thanks for questioning my honesty as I was thinking it had a 7 ton capacity and was short changing myself.

    Dump trailers, why does everyone love them?

    If you pull the passenger seat out and put a divider in there you could get at least half a yard maybe more in there. That being said, I have a dump trailer and a single axle dump truck. Each has a purpose and each has pro and cons for a specific project. The DT can haul 10 ton legal while the...

    Case 580C Info

    When it's in drive mode it's always pulling even with the clutch pedal depressed. You have to stand on the brakes to make it not move (really useful for loading on trailers). When it's in the other pushing the clutch pedal in will make it stop pulling ( more like how you think of a traditional...

    Case 580C Info

    If that "button" works you can switch gears without putting the forward reverse lever into neutral and coming to a complete stop. It's allows you to change gears in motion. Looked it up as I had forgotten the name it's called a clutch cut out switch. The clutch is right of the steering wheel...

    J(unk)C(ity)B(ackhoe) 1550B or 4CN parts diagrams

    I don't have an answer for you, I spent some time working around the ole interwebs JCB defiantly has their parts locked down super tight. I guess their disposable ? That truly sucks, I take it for granted all my JD / Case part look up I do all the time.

    The 233 H&L Teeth vs 230

    I just welded new adopters onto my backhoe bucket and now the flex pins are stupid hard to put in (no I dont have the pin tool). I was researching and came across the 233 style teeth with the wedge that does away with the flex pin and was wondering if anyone had experience with them? Do they...

    Motor oil vs. Hydraulic fluid.

    John deere has been using 10-40 motor oil in the hydraulic systems for a very long time, my 2010 specs it. I think new holland does the same, so ya it wouldn't surprise me at all.

    The how to shift trucks thread

    When I had an old 2 speed truck I only ever put in high from 4th gear. I never put into low unless the truck was stopped , I could never really find a way to do it without grinding coffee. My Road Ranger 13 is smooth as silk up and down, I don't miss that old split rear end at all.

    What do you consider a worthless piece of equipment?

    I'm going to say a box blade on a light duty tractor in rocky ground, drives me insane how terrible that combination is.

    Equipment for a small, antiquated, one man operation

    I've certainly followed a little in your path, started collecting equipment along the way doing small jobs for people. Started out with a 450c track loader, added a F600 dump truck, added a skid steer and backhoe. While I don't do the size of projects you do the biggest and best upgrade I think...
