We got the top end of that storm had 18 inches but north of here they got just a skiff .I was pushing the stuff since 1.30 this morning at the local airport with my Sterling single axle .I bought this truck to keep others busy and I am the only one crazy enough to run it .I am sick of winging snow t...

I cleaned up an old building for a old guy . He and his son told me there was scrap metal in it .I could see a sprocket and track sticking out from under a pile of pool liner in the building with roof colapsed on that .I pulled the roof off with the 160 excavator and there they were .The 40c and the...

I got an old disc plow cheap and still have it .It is an eight blade as they called them at that time .It shure chops 1 1/2 willows up nice its slow but dose the job .We have a rake with 14inch spaceings that goes on our old 750 for the bigger stuff and the FAE grinder unit I had posted in photos a ...

We had a few but very few of them come into Canada . the Industrial Deere dealers sold these with backhoe atachments .I know a farm drainage guy that had one in widetrack it could dig a trench any where .I never got to see the injector pump on it .A backhoe worked real nice on them ofcorse He set hi...

At the Canadian construction show they had a booth with darn'd neer every engine they make liquid and air cooled .I have an old order menonite customer that I have done conciderable drainage and d...

The gut with the cast is a butcher by trade dosen't know much about what a crawler will do but he has a 40 tractor in the shed .He couldn't belive his eyes when I started in second and hit third The tractor is geared differently and the crawler has an advantage beeing closer to the ground as well .T...

We built our own side plates out of plate steel for the 450s .These were a lot tougher and you notice that the originals are rattleing on there any way .You have to make a small bulge in the one for the alternater as it sticks out an inch plus with a good angle on the bulge area brush slides right p...

The 350s were always front heavy if you had a clam or 4/1 bucket on them .If you make a quick couple for it keep close to the bucket hinge pin as these little Deeres get tippy and powerless if you get too far out front .One of my customers has one he has a log clamp or 4/1 bucket or pallet fork on i...

I bought one of my neighbours 310D hoes that he ran with creek water for a couple of days in that is all it takes yes it is an ever occuring thing as heat from the engine makes the bubbles but I find that with coolant management and addative adding that you can slow this down to the point when the s...

It should do size wise make shure that you are geting a good conection to the block and ground .I find nither the green or yellow paint are good ground .The power needed to start on some cold mornings is considerable .I found these new Js of mine have no more cable then they need and after Two new c...

I would suspect that you are not getting enough transmission oil pressure right off the start . Do not leave the unit in gear till it worms up as you will be sliping the multi plate clutch .Check to see you have the right oil in it and your oil is at the right level.There should be a test port on th...

Don't be too alarmed but if you don't own it get a better deal on the 450c for shure .That machine has been twisted to the point that the bell housing bolts poped out .Dont panic but this looks a hell of a lot worse than it is .First you will need to look for the spacer washers and bolts.Spacers are...

On your dozer you will notice a small triangle shaped cast plate on the drive casts both sides just above the tracks take the bolts out and get someone else to pull that side leaver .Here is where you set it .Set the clutch to open just before break enguages .Only if break bands were set up wrong wi...

When either ignites so early is why it makes an engine sound like it is going to explode.The piston actualy has to over center through this explosion .I also have notuced that they don't make either like they used to.If i get a weekend off mabt 3or 4 times a year I take my modified class stock car t...
