What do you use a huge grinder for ?

I think most backhoes are stored outside. I would leave mine outside but don't use that often, concrened about tires dry rotting. I also have a huge problem with mice getting into the headliner, and not a few. But far to many. Poison works but gets to be a bad smelling cab , for sure. Thanks.

I agree with what you wrote but before I can do anything, the PH must be taken care of first. Experts says. Nothing will work unless you get the water PH in a neutral zone. " No, largemouth bass would not thrive in water with a pH of 4.0. The optimal pH range for largemouth bass is generally...

As a matter of fact, its just the oppsite. If pond water has a low PH of 4,(acidic soil) it is very clear water. Can see down 10 feet in my pond. If the PH is normal at 7, seeing down past 3 feet is difficult.

After adding 8 ounces and stiring (5 gallon bucket ) water very little change on test strips to PH of 4. Adding a second 8 ounces made test strip all in the green zone of very good PH=7. At least I think its lime and not stone dust from cutting stone. I bought stone dust and still have a pile...

A Google Answer, but many websites and video on Youtube. Unfortunatly my pond gets filled with only acid rain EPA map area of PH=4. A fish not hatched but stocked in water with a PH of 4 will die. "Adding ag lime (agricultural lime) to a pond helps increase fish size by improving water...

Yes, I seen testing runs about $125.00. Really, I was suspicious of this guys bussiness practices from the start. I prefer not to mention his name, because of a lot of unknows. Maybe I got what he said he sold me ? It is a large trucking operation with 50+ trucks around Binghamton NY. Can't...

I figured a lot of people here, know about ag-lime. I searched online for hours and found nothing on my search. I will start from the begining. I read the reason for decline in fish pond size is poor water PH. I am in Pennsylvania in gas drilling area. I had paid for water testing before any...

This would have been something i missed in 25 years " put a pin thru to keep the extendahoe". I read the manual and it talks about a hole for grease but would be wonderful to have one so it would not creep out. I will check owners manual. I have been using a hook at end of heavy chain to top of...

I think i"ll try and use the bucket on the floor practice. That way I won't risk damaging the trusses by locking boom in place and when going out lowering it down again. I have a concrete floor but wood to put under bucket. I will still chain it back to swing frame so it can"t slide anywhere...

I have a old Case 680 K extend-hoe backhoe. My garage has a 12 foot high door but hangs 6 inches lower when open. I have not had a big deal, lowering the boom and locking back in place. However my luck ran out and I damaged several roof trusses when throwing back into locked boom position. I...

Sorry it took so long to reply. Tightening the bolts seem to of ended the leak completely. The floor is so dry I thought I had no hydraulic fluid to loose. But it looks good. I now have another problem a air conditioning leak I can't find. I am a retired HVAC mechanic, but this leak can't be...

The picture was taken before I started the job.

Harry, Today was the big day I started the repair. After the PTO cover was removed everything changed. I could see the oil leak and it was not the rear PTO seal. It was where the rear hydraulics Body and transmission Body bolt together. Oil was leaking out of this seam at the bottom, directly...
