Wondering if anyone of you has the manual showing the hydraulic circuit for an L3750. A diesel mechanic friend of mine is willing to come over and work with me on my bucket lift. He wanted to look at the manual first. I don't have that manual. I know I could probably order one. Thought that I...

I thought that I would share this from our local newspaper. http://www.kirotv.com/money/28017266/detail.html I tried the link that is shown in the article but it didn't work for me. Fuel spilling is just something to think about no matter what you are putting gas in.

Looking at this auction place down the road from me they have this machine that is like a Swiss army knife. What other machines are out there that perform multiple functions. This will only be on the auction site for about a week. Vermeer V8550 Vibratory Ride On Cable Plow Backhoe | eBay

I'm not sure if I can put this link on here without getting in trouble. This auction site puts the items up for a week. They typically have the equipment at their Seattle yard. Anyhow I noticed some nice tractor attachments on there today if any of you might be looking. Don't worry I am not...

I had to take down 3 100' fir trees at my Dads a few weeks ago. Before we started I knew that some punk neighbor kids had put nails and bolts in the trees years ago because some were sticking out of the trees. I had a friend paint red marks on the trees where she found metal showing on her metal...

I am the head of Triage treatment for my building of about 1000 people. So I try to find good information to send out to the people. This website has some great stuff. For a good laugh though go to the "I did it tab" while you are there go to the "things I shouldn't have done" tab. Be Safe...

My neighbor gave me a post hole digger for hauling some horse stall mats. The other day I was out digging some holes with the old beast when the auger started swinging I lowered it to the ground to start digging. Well I lowered it too fast or something and it twisted the U joint apart. My...

Just thought I would tattle on myself. Working about 20' up in a wild cherry clearing branches over some power lines. I needed to cut a lower branch near where I was standing so I reached down with the chainsaw to cut the branch. I knew I was near my foot but was trying to be careful. I felt the...

Doing a tree job for a customer today and I had a little bit of excitement. It has been a decent summer for Washington. Today it was 86 degrees. It has been fairly warm and dry.

Driving down the freeway the other day a guy had one of these Mini's on a nice dual axle trailer. He was using a late 90's Ford 2500 pickup. As I passed him I looked over to see what kind of hitch the tilt trailer and truck was using. It was one of those hitches that have holes in it so that...

My neighbor gave me this Post hole digger for hauling some mats for her. It looks to be fairly old and left out in the elements. It does spin easily enough. There don't appear to be any leaks from the gear case. I am thinking maybe I should change the oil in it just for preventive maintenance...

I bought a pair of chainsaw chaps a couple of weeks ago after nearly removing my knee cap with the saw. Loose fitting pants got caught by the tooth bar on the saw. Then the chain caught my coveralls and then pants. Just had a small scrape on the skin right above the knee cap fortunately. 40...
