PTO hydraulics on a GMC Top Kick

I've bought a fire truck as a replacement for my C65 I need hydraulics for the dump body now on the C65. It won't carry tandem weight. I'd estimate body, and load together at 17000.

My engine is a Cat 3208Turbo. Try as I might I can't find room for an engine mounted pump. Shaft drive off the front of the engine isn't going to work as the radiator is in the way, and includes coolers for transmission, and engine...

Ingersoll rand vr530c

Looking for information on an Ingersoll Rand/Bobcat VR530C. Looking for parts/service manuals and who is currently selling parts for it. I believe Ingersoll telehandler division was bought out by Volvo and then by Skyjack? Neither Bobcat, Volvo or Skyjack seem to want anything to do with it. Looking for a friend and any help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

Machine control

Any recommendations that aren't going to cost more than my used scraper? I looked at a CB40 but there doesn't seen to be much info on the interweb. My closest dealer is 2hrs away and won't offer advice unless I'm dealing...

Jump Starting Equipment

This probably doesn't fit here but not sure where else to ask. I used my 100 hp Kubota tractor to jump a Case skid Steer off a few weeks ago. The skid started and the tractor stayed running everything seemed normal. Several days later I went to use tractor and it wouldn't start. To make a long story short the shop says boosting the skid fried the Engine Side ECU on the tractor. Has anyone seen this issue on equipment? Both were 12v systems.

Takeuchi TB80FR boom not raising :-(

Hi,

I am here looking for some advice on troubleshooting a problem with a Takeuchi TB80FR excavator. I am having an issue where the boom will not raise at all. All other excavator functions/controls are fine. I am able to slew, open and close the bucket, extend, move the swivel knuckle left and right, operate the blade and track no problems. When pulling back on the control to raise the boom I get no feedback or movement. It has been working fine up until now with good power and speed. It...
