(Sorry for the influx of color, Steve. It's my way of "emphasizing" my emotions...)

somebody posted a link at arboristsite.com showing some pictures of destroyed equipment.

 

[OzDozer]

Found the site doing a google search on some equipment question ..

Looks like a good site, I've checked in ..

My everyday job is moderator and regular contributor on the ACME BB .. .. http://www.antiquecaterpillar.org

I googled "Heavy Equipment Forums" when I was looking for help, advice and info on buying my used dozer and the old FiatAllis scraper I acquired and fixed up.

I believe it was King Of Obsolete that put a link to it on the ACME Cat bulletin board. Very enjoyable so far!

A long and winding road.....

I hang out w/ OzDozer and Alan627B a bunch on the ACME site.... I got here the same way Alan did, via a link from the 'King'...... I call Alan627B by a few different names...... Flip, Flippy,Flipper.... Thats all I'm gonna say! He's gonna have to tell the rest of the story! Paul W (AKA Paul on the ACME site.... Simple huh?)

 

[alan627b]

Let's just say that I found out the best way to unload a 627B scraper isn't over the side!
I'l find the pics, if you insist...
Here's one way to see what I did...not my best work!

Well atleast you didn't get hurt. :thumbsup
And you made a bad situation better by taking pics. :yup

I'll find the pics, if you insist...

We always do.

And to keep this thread on track, I found this site by searching for "heavy equipment forum" on Yahoo. It was at the top of the list.

 

[dgreene]

My brothers are greenie and 450d lc they told me about it.

 

[digger242j]

Welcome to the forums!

I don't know that we have anyone other members from the same family. If so, I don't recall any of them having said so.

So, as kids, which brother(s) got beat up on by the other one(s)?

 

[dgreene]

greenie always took the beatings and now look at him with the big toys

 

[proteksandblast]

i found this site with google search for equipment, ive read some interesting threads here. i am not an operator nor an owner. i am an owner of a sandblasting and painting company in ontario canada that has been repainting heavy equipment for a lot of years, i am finding myself taking more of an interest in heavy equipment. i look forward to reading and posting on this site. Maybe even make a few new friends as well.

 

[nobull1]

Glad to see you have joined. I bet you have a lot of knowledge as to the best ways and type of paints to use on heavy equipment. I'm sure a lot of members would appreciate your opinions. Welcome

 

[jimmyjack]

found it from a link that king of obsolete put on thedieselgarage.com. great site for talking equipment, kind of getting old talking trucks all the time. :thumbsup

 

[proteksandblast]

thank you for the welcome nobull 1,

 

[country guy]

I found my way here from a thread posted by King of Obsolete over on the Red Power board. It's good to be here and thanks for the warm welcome.

frustration and luck

I recently bought a JCB 215 S Series II backhoe. Just yesterday, the brakes locked up and it would not go forward. I checked and its not the emergency brake. I ordered the owners manual but am extremely worried it is something major.

Actually, this is Dtmans wife. My husband is frustrated and I know he can fix anything. I would just like a response from someone who owns this backhoe. Any ideas the problems?
