I found out about the site from the dodgepowerwagon.com site. I was looking at T. W. Halls power wagon pictures. Checked out the site and have been hooked since. Great site and even better pictures. I like the big iron, have a PC400LC3 myself with a 13' stick and a 30" bucket. Anyway I am a directional drilling contractor. No I don't do fibre work. I primarily do water & sewer and an occasional electrical project. I have pictures on my website: www.thedrillguys.com. I have read the posts about "Dig Safe" and I see you guys feel the same way I do. So I hope to learn a lot, make some new friends and see a lot of good pictures. Look forward to meeting you guys. Oh btw T. W. Hall that is a nice grader and a better powerwagon.:notworthy

I was checking the stats on visitors to my own site and a thread on here was listed in the results on AOL. I remember the "Steve's site" being mentioned on ACME a couple of years back but I never found you, more to lack of comp time than anything else.
Great site, with a very good cross section of members. Well done. I think the snow ball mentioned a good few posts back is really rolling, you have posts cropping up regularly in the main search engines. I dont know of a better recommendation.:drinkup

Just another grease monkey..

I found you through a search engine. Im actually in search of finding parts breakdowns, repair info and parts for a Benati G53 backhoe in the states. It seems like nobody in the states has any info on these things. So i thought id come on here to pick your brains. I was a AGE (ageranger.com) Ranger in the USAF from 00-05. I got out and worked fleet maintenance for a specialty contractor doing just about everything at one point. Ive been working at a JCB dealership for the last year. Im one of 2 mechanics so i get into alot of diffrent things. So if anyone has questions mechanical wise give me a shout.:usa
