    Homemade dump trailer

    Haha. I got the response I wanted and then some. I am sick of negativity on forums. Like your mother SHOULD of told you, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I've joined a few forums over the years and some are full of negativity. I just ignore them now. Before I...

    Red oxide or Gray primer?

    Bought the primer and paint today. Didn't realize you could spend that much on paint. Oh well, should last. Got the epoxy primer I uploaded a video a few days ago on Youtube and it still hasn't shown up on their site. If it isn't there tomorrow I'll post before and after pictures of the paint...

    Red oxide or Gray primer?

    I just finished building an all steel dump trailer and now want to paint it. Would love to hear from those who can tell me which primer I should use. I am going to spray paint it. I'm wondering why red oxide primer is 30.00/gallon and gray is 50.00/gallon. I'm not 100% yet on the final color...

    L35/BT900 boom cylinder hose rupture

    The cylinder came out of the boom easier than I expected. That's always a good thing. I figured putting the cylinder back would be the real headache. Not at all. For being such an inaccessible hose to replace, it was easy.

    L35/BT900 boom cylinder hose rupture

    Would love some input from those of you who have experienced the hydraulic hose rupturing on the boom of the backhoe and what it entails to replace. It appears that I should lower the boom all the way to the ground, remove the higher of the 2 cylinder pins, retract the cylinder under power, and...

    Battery Powered Sawzall ?

    I own a Ryobi and a Milwaukee. I've had the 18V Ryobi a long time and it works great. Upgraded to lithium batteries and it is a world of difference. I bought the 28V Milwaukee for heavy duty all day work and love it but it is heavy. For casual use, the Ryobi is fine and will cut any roots you...

    Best equipment fail video I've ever seen

    Hard to say which was my favorite. I got a kick out of the whole bunch. There was an aw S**T around every corner. The dozer loading the stone block was right up there!!!!

    What do you use for a welder?

    Since you like stick welding so much, keep your eye out for a DC machine. The difference is night and day. Not that I would turn down the free welder but you like what you're doing, and by the looks of your box blade, you'll enjoy playing around with other equipment.

    L 39 Backhoe problems

    Make 100% sure before you do anything that the hydraulic quick disconnects that feed the backhoe are solidly connected and engaged

    Tractor Transport Company

    Ditto to that. I hired a professional transporter (with a lowboy) to move my dozer at the rate of $125.00/hr. When he showed up he said he couldn't unload at that site and wanted to unload it in the road. I told him no way and then he wanted to unload it in the extremely deep ditch. I told him...

    Left side front wheel case support wont take grease

    Have someone constantly turn the wheels while you're applying grease. I've had that work many times on pins that wouldn't take grease.
