Hey Guys
I love this forum!! I've only driven small backhoes,skidsteers and a small excavator. I've made parts for family and freind's machines so if you need pins,old parts or anything made up don't hesitate to ask.Thanks

Mike,

I just purchased alot of machining equipment, tooling from one of my operators father. A LOT if you need any tooling or anything let me know. I got to go pick up the equipment so give me some time, unless you have a real need. I had to buy it all (package deal) so I'm gonna sell anything I don't need. FYI'

Thanks and welcome to site!

Kevin

Hey Mike,

New Guy here from New Hampshire with tired worn and loose equipment. Sort of new to owning equipment but have been operating off and on (when anyone would let me or wasn'nt looking) for 25+ yrs. I've been buying stuff from McMaster-Carr, (bushings, bearings, pin stock) and have been cutting and welding my way towards better/tighter operating stuff. I'm in Pelham,NH, near Lowell, Ma. Whereabouts are you located?

I love that you have photos of your work done. Maybe you should get some customer testimonials up on the site for your work?

The only thought I have is that the front page of the site has a lot of blank dead space that you have to scroll through. You might want to trim that up. Otherwise, it's nice!

Hi Mike,
Can you make hardened bushings? I'm having trouble finding bushings for my excavator (except for the dealer - and we all know what a bargain we get at dealers! :rolleyes:)

I'm in southern VT, so it probably wouldn't be too far for me.

Thanks,
Glen
