buying first dump truck

Looking to buy a small 1 or 2 axle dump truck for my small construction business. I have already spent about $7000 on gravel and sand this year. I have found an 87 international model 1954 with crew cab and 118,000 miles. It is listed at 10k obo, I haven't seen it yet but a little nervous because I've never bought anything like this. Currently I only have a class c and I am pretty sure this won't do. Any suggestions or insites?

941 B Loosing prime

Gentlmen
Help, II have a 941B Track loader , that I use occasionally all , in the winter time I changed the Injectors thinking that would help. It started to loose prime. Changed filter , water separator and hand priming pump. No luck it seems to be sucking air . I found no leaks. My last resort is to rebuild the pump. I would like too find a logical reason.


Thank you

550 Adams Grader UD-16 motor

back in 2009 I stole this grader and after 2 years in court it became mine. I thought I had a posting on this BB but I guess I don't. last weekend I decided to get working on the grader because it was like a bad DIEvorce and I didn't have any interest in it. I whipped up a bar starter and broke the engine free.

Mahindra 5570 tractor

i just bought a used Mahindra 5570. No service or operators manual yet, but they are on order. Nice tractor but it appeared that the engine oil had been over serviced. The level was like 5 inches above the two marks on the dipstick. So today I drained the oil and started out by putting 8 quarts of Rotella 15W-40 and a new filter. I believe it calls for 9.3 quarts. Anyway....I check the oil and with 8 quarts it's once again way above the marks on the dipstick. Any thoughts? Can...

MF 960 problems

Hi all,
Can anyone help me with problems I have with my MF960 please. I can not get the steering to go into 4 wheel steer or crab, it continually beeps 4 times, which means there is a steering problem.

I was successful in getting the steering right temporarily in 2 wheel drive, with no beeps, it has since got back to not tracking correctly & beeping 4 times. I have other problems with the 4 in 1 not closing...

I'm not 100% sure how it was originally installed. But there is a joist every 5'. Every 33" along the joist there is an upside down T. It appears they put some sort of drywall type material in those rectangles, then poured 2" of concrete on top of that, with wire in it. On top of that, there is...

JLG 450A Telescoping boom hose replacement

Gents,

Long story short: My tenant was in the process of replacing the hoses on the telescoping boom of his 450A when he suddenly passed away last November. I finally had the chance to try and finish the job so I can use the lift and ready it so his wife can sell it, and I'm having a heck of a time snaking the hoses through the boom. Is there any "easy" way or recommended procedure on doing this. I've been trying all day, even trying to pull the old ones through with the backhoe...

2003 case cx130 with cummins. Engine turns over starts momentarily and shuts down. Will take about 15 tries and extended cranking with the starter to get it going. Not sure where to start looking for issues. Changed the fuel filters. Can't see any leaks and when I pulled the fuel filter on the motor it was full so it's not draining back to the tank. Almost like the fuel is draining off the top end/injectors. Is there a backflow preventer in the injector pump?

Tracking down hydraulic oil leak

Got a hydraulic oil leak that has developed recently in my 06 Takeuchi TB153FR. Oil is coming out of both sides where the lines come out of the body to the tracks. I've tipped the cab forward two times now, and cannot see which line it could be. Is there any specific one that could be the culprit based on oil location? Is there something i'm missing that makes the lines more accessible than simply tipping the cab up? I can't imagine trying to replace most of them. It's become a fairly...

Pettibone Super 6 gets heart transplant

My old Super 6-33 had a Fiat 6 cylinder transplanted in it when I brought it home. It was beyond tired. Always needed a few shots of ether to get it running no matter how warm it was. After using it for 20 minutes it would lose power so bad it would not lift a serious load. Knowing it was going to need a get a transplant from one of my spares I started looking and scratching my head envisioning the cobble-ability factor of engines I had on hand. I quickly got down to using either a 3-53...

753 Series F Bobcat

I have a 753 series F bobcat with a blown fuse, when I put a new fuse in it just blows right away with the key in the off position. The fuse block is located in the engine compartment down by the right lower door hinge. The fuse that blows is a 25 amp fuse witch is located at the left fuse block , the top right fuse is the one that blows. Does any one know what the fuse controls. With the key off it blows as soon as you install fuse.

Water in Transmission (Cat Backhoe)

I have a 1989 Cat 426 backhoe that is somehow getting water in the transmission. I changed the transmission fluid today and it is milky looking. There is no signs of oil in the radiator though but water level was a little low. I'm guessing that my transmission cooler has gone bad. It appears the transmission cooler is inside the bottom portion of the radiator by following the hydraulic lines from the transmission. Are these things repairable or am I looking at possibly having to buy a whole...

Cat 226B2 Float Adjust?

Morning All,
I hope you guys can help.
I'm a rookie to the world of skid steers, having bought a used Cat 226B for use on our small property.
My question is around float mode on the hydraulics.

When I put the machine into float, then tilt the bucket say for back blading, the front of the skid steer will lift off the ground. When I reverse the machine, the wheels will drop again only to lift up immediately as I stop.

IS this normal? Is there an adjustment that can be made to reduce...

Komatsu PC75uu-2 Starter Problem

Had a friend try and start while I watched and fire/smoke came out of the rear of the starter motor. Now it won't turn over at all. I suspect the armature is dragging on the field coils. I need to remove the starter and don't have the service manual.

Do I have to take the counterweight off to access the starter, or can I remove enough linkage...

Injector hour life

Anybody have an idea on how many hours a set of injectors is good for in a 5.9 cummins? I know that is kind of a loaded question but just looking for a rule of thumb to go by. A friend of mine had the head off his D5C awhile back and thought he would have the injectors tested while he was waiting on some parts. They all tested bad on the spray test even though the dozer seemed to run fine. He ordered new ones and says he can't believe the difference in power. It just got me wondering.

So far It has been a great machine. When turning on the dam the rear of the loader is hanging over the lake. The holes being repaired are deep, big and steep. Pretty much straight down 10 to 12 feet. Not much room to work.

Walking Motor Pressure Check

580C brake hose replacement cost

I had a brake hose blow on my 580c backhoe so I looked it up online and they wanted 75 bucks plus 15 bucks to ship it. I really didn't want to pay 90 bucks so I went to nappa and they matched it up with a 1974 maverick for 11 bucks.
It took a couple of adapter fittings so the total to replace the hose and 2 ft. of line was 18 bucks. a lot of difference in cost.
I first took it to advance auto and they were lost, the Nappa guys are the best when it comes to figuring stuff out and happy to...

There are 3 oil fill holes on the drive line. One in the very back over the differential. Does it want 90W gear oil in that? One other hole is a few inches in front of the shift lever. Does that take Case TCH oil? And one half way between the shifter and the bell housing. That may be the shuttle and I think...

Looking at a 2000 379 Pete with a 450 hp Series 60 and 10spd with 3:55's. I will stretch it to 300 WB.
And just install some tool boxes and tandem fenders. Sort of like this one. But it will be a permanent
