    420

    I am looking at a 420U with a loader, No idea what kind of loader. Owner says it is very strong whatever that means. I am wondering if I can rig this thing up to handle a 1400 lb round bale? I am concerned about the older JD hydraulics having enough power? I only have to be able to lift the bale...

    720

    I have started looking for a 720D standard, gave up on the 620 standard. What to look out for? I am concerned about the flywheel crankshaft problems I have heard and read about. What exactly do I look for? Can the looseness be detected by the inexperienced eye? I have searched this forum but...

    now its my turn for a question '83 chevy c30

    You should be able to find a tilt column for that truck. I had an 80 c20 with a tilt used to just leave it in the highest position all the time, very comfortable. You could also lower it way down between your knees, I dont know the idea of that very uncomfortable and dangerous I would think.
