FYI, Five years ago I bought one of those high end float chargers to put on the brand new crawler battery (30H). It was supposed to make the battery last up to twice as long. Well, I went out to start the crawler a couple of days ago (last ran in April) and found the battery about half charged and i...

I found a 1010 6-way all hydraulic blade on Craig's List. The seller thinks it will fit my 2010 with "some" modification.

I have a 2010 crawler and a 2010 tractor. If you just want to know the RPM's, any 2010 tach will fit. The tach on my 410 backhoe is a different diameter (smaller). I suppose it could be made to fit with an adapter plate.

My wife will probably burn my dinner, but I might be interested in a parts crawler. Does it have a hyd. 6 way blade? A working winch?
How close to Matlock are you located?

Has anyone used a welder to thaw pipes? I've heard of it, but never found any details.
I don't have any frozen pipes, but was wondering how to go about using my portable Lincoln welder to thaw them.
Thanks,
