    Thoughts on Gallagher Auger/Post Hole Diggers

    I've been in the market for an auger for a bit now, and have a line on a unit made by Gallagher, for which I can find virtually no information. Anyone ever heard of them? Anyone ever use one of their augers? Opinions? Thanks for any input in advance. -A

    I Beam Ballast Box

    Forever ago I posted a few questions about the best setup for a ballast system made of scrap I beams I scored from my local welding shop. I finally set aside some spare time and got the project started. I'm using a Lincoln Idealarc that I got dirt cheap at an equipment auction. I also got 50...

    Newbie Part No.ing question

    Aloha all, I'm in the process of having my b6000 refurbished, and am having trouble with part number changes (or at least finding the correct part number for certain items). I might be wrong in that they simply discontinued making these particular parts, but I keep running into this issue...

    WTB B6000 oil filter

    Hoping there's someone with an old b6000 that they're parting out. I need an oil filter for one. That's the cigar shaped screen that sits on the oil plug, about 5 inches long or so (or at least that's what the best I could find online). Many thanks.
