If Don built that thing, he would have to upgrade the hydros to lift it!
Hmm. I forgot the original plan. Museum quality paint job. Check. Painted to resemble a SeaBee rig from a John Wayne movie. Check. A piece of equipment without a single leak. Priceless.
Don, I work for this guy when I was in high school after he had retired from case as a field service engineer he knows old cases like the back of his hand, he might be able to help you locate a bucket. Bill Wallace Repairs3133 HIGHWAY 14 SCovington, Tennessee 38019USA ph: 901-476-3137

Or it ran out of fluid!
Man you guys are harsh! RoflSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Pins & bushings are usually not to expensive. Hold up Duane, farm is a bad word. This is museum quality.....
Don that whining might be air in the system that needs to be purged?Looking good sir.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ;DOn a serious note when is that thing getting loaded up and shipped out?
So, you fired Shawn, then me, then hired me back, and Shawn is still undecided on what his punishment even was? Sounds like typical Shawn behavior...I'll just keep stopping by and window shopping from time to time...Noise could be air in the pump/cylinders, but I doubt it. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, and Ill probably get fired, again, but Im saying its the pump. It may be time to have it replaced, again. But let ol Lock Tite in there and I'm sure he will get you an answer. Let's hope for the best.
Those noises were just in protest of sitting so long. Sarge wants to get the work accomplished, like an good NCO.
Well, I've been thinkingWith winter coming on, maybe I could have them pull that pump and send it out to be overhauled, and put in a few pins while they are standin' aroundPins for that thing are $90- hundreds ea + labor. I could run up a 5K tab PDQ

If it is going to live at the farm, get it in tip top shape now for a long healthy life down on the farm.
You teaching a class, Don? I'll pick up brass and police the range for some lessons. I could use some practice...
Think I can get my dually and fifth wheel down the drive to the place? I need 10ft wide and 13'6" tall
I would assume that replacing the pins yourself will save you some money. Buy the pins and do the work on your own. You have a tractor with a loader to assist in holding up certain areas. We always changed our own pins in these trackhoes. And youll be surprised how long you can go on wore pins in the bucket. We have two older 120 John Deere Excavators that we keep in our dirt pit. Pins been worn out for a good, I don't know, 3-4 years now. Still running them as is. We will replace it when something breaks. Just a thought.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
