    How does one use a PTO chipper with an electric PTO clutch?

    I've been around a ton of engine driven chippers, and the huge flywheel of a chipper means you really have to feather the clutch in. How do people do it with modern electric PTO clutches which don't allow a feathering? Or do the manufacturers install a mechanical clutch on the chipper itself...

    Horrible accident with vintage dozer

    It appears that a newly purchased 1960's vintage International TD 6 started moving while the owner was working on it while standing on the tracks. He was killed, and then the dozer drove into a car containing the woman, where she was killed. From other boards, the hypothesis is that the...

    Whats the difference between a Duetz air-cooled and oil-cooled engine?

    I don't get it. Both run the air thru a plenum and an air-oil heat exchanger, but some are pointedly referred to as air-cooled while others are decidedly oil-cooled. Power doesn't matter, both types are offered in excess of 100hp.

    Bugs and critters - the microscopic kind

    For years we had trouble keeping water out of the fuel of our 950. Even when the tractor was moved inside after 30 years we still had recurrent problems. Dosed everything with a biocide from Power Service ( http://www.powerservice.com/bk/ ) and the problem seem kaput after several months...

    Newly OCD'ing about motor oil

    '83 John Deere 950 with 700 hours. We've always used Deere brand 30. I've started OCD'ing about this, and was wondering about going synthetic. Chevron recommends Delo 400 Multigrade for pre-2007 engines. I wonder if this is even a concern with a machine doing so little hours, yet getting an...

    How often do diesels "run away"?

    I've been around diesels most of my working life, and have never seen it happen, or heard of it. But it seems like a persistent concern here. I have a old JD 950, and to choke off the machine from air would be a real project. It's a totally mechanical system, are they safer or more prone to...

    Trip report: Thermal Arc Fabricator 181i

    Well, I bought me one of these yesterday, and I'm happy. Got it set up and ran some beads with 3/32 6013 and .035 FC. So far so good. I can't get too involved because my garage is filled with sawdust, varnish fillings and partially completed wood projects, so I have to get the fire hazard...

    Thermal Arc 181i

    I was all set to buy myself an early X-Mas present, and the salesman at the local shop talked me out of it because of lack of history with this new model, and poor performance with the plasma cutters. Does anyone here have one? It will be home use duty, MIG and smaller SMAW 7018. No hard...

    How do you steer these machines?

    How do you steer these modified tractors? I assume they lack steering clutches, so your only hope is to use the tracot brakes to death. Does anyone here have any experience with this type of machine? Getsno Equipment サ 1995 FORD MODEL 7740 FALL PROMOTION PRICE!!

    Little, old and little& old dozers around Snohomish WA

    This is what I've seen just the past two days. It's always 420 somewhere. I think this may be a model modified in Yakima by Linderman. This would be a fun machine to own and use if you could baby it and back it up with a newer and stronger wheeled tractor This an ancient Windolph made in...
