You are close. When you get on photobucket, there are 4 different tags on each piture you can use. I think the right one is the direct link. copy it to the manage attachments, and then hit "preview post"
If you have the right link, the picture will show, if not, it will show the link like the one you did above.

Thanks for posting pictures for us. Life is a learning adventure, and I like to learn all I can, and share what I know as well.

DSCN0642 (640x360).jpgDSCN0643 (640x360).jpgDSCN0644 (640x360).jpgDSCN0645 (640x360).jpg easy day in the shop (to bad it was great weather outside), i installed a reman injectrion pump and turbo on the this 3306 truck engine, bled easy, started easy. I found the turbo had been leaking oil into the air to air cooler when i took things apart to get the injection pump off. The reman guy said the rack had been backed out all the way creating full rack travel by all rights it should have melted down, returned rack to stock, we will see what the customer says....the pictures are reman pump, bare side of block, and completed engine.......

last week of may 005.JPGlast week of may 006.JPGlast week of may 007.JPGlast week of may 008.JPGlast week of may 009.JPG

i showed up because the master pin had busted and to install the two rear rock guards.. What i found was all rock guards missing (very rocky and steep unit) and this crack where the roller attaches. What you can't see is all of the rest of the cracking inside where all of the rollers attach. Besides some other virtical cracking in other areas. Removed and took to the shop to be repaired...the other two rock guards are 6 weeks out we may have to builds some. I will post pictures when project is completed.................theironoracle

I showed up to replace the brake seals and frictions. I tried to remove the frictions but they wouldn't come off the shaft because the final had burnt up due to no oil. I think they got some barbed wire (i removed some from the skidders axle) in the seal and with all the rain they never saw the oil on the track to much mud.................theironoracle

removed and reinstalled a new head. This is about a 1000 hr factory reman engine in this machine. The injector had come loose right from the start and the company just kept running the machine until the hole that the injector was in was to burnt out to hold a new injector. This is large motor in a small package. Everthing was mounted above it. Air cleaner, muffler, a/c condensor layers of guarding, still (parts of) great couple of days...............................theironoracle
