    Backhoe transmission

    This site won't let me edit my post......turns out the trans I have is probably a T18. Shouldn't be that difficult to find parts or a used T98. Do an internet search for Borg warner T98 application. There's some good info out there.

    Backhoe transmission

    Borg Warner T98 transmissions were used in trucks. Not sure of the significance of the 1R suffix. You can look in a Hollander Interchange manual to see what truck applications your trans was used in. Hollander manuals and software are what the wrecking yards use to see what parts are...

    screws in Hardie lap siding

    Might not be available in longer lengths, but there shouldn't be a problems with bleeding or rusting. They're powder coated just like deck screws....at least some brands of them are.

    What are these barbs hooks used for

    Conduit clamps. That type is often the source of squeaks when driven into floor joists.

    Screw Jack handle?

    At least some originally came with handles. I have about 15 to 20 of those jacks. Bought them all used. One still had the original handle. Just use whatever is handy that fits the hole. I usually use steel stakes that are made for concrete forms.

    Facebook vs Craigslist

    FB doesn't require your bank info, but ebay does. I've bought and sold on FB and never had to give them any more info than this or other forums require. Swap meets are turning into delivery/pick up points for items that are sold on FB. Besides the FB Marketplace, FB has many (thousands) of...

    Pole Barn Post Footing

    Check your local building code. Here we have to use a 10" thick concrete cookie or pour 10" of concrete in the hole.....for the very reasons John mentioned.

    1B stone for 800' driveway

    If you use pea gravel you will forever be adding more and having to grade it. If you're building a new road put geotextile fabric down first! What you want is what's called crusher run in some places. Here it's called road mix. Basically it's 1 1/2" and smaller stone all the way down to the...

    Ford 555 Backhoe Help

    I have a 555 that sat for a few years before I bought it that had a similar problem. I had to have the injector pump rebuilt. At $1000 it's a no brainer. That machine in my area would bring $8000-10,000 in running condition in a heartbeat. Or you could buy it to part out and get a nice...

    Aluminum Siding - what tool or technique

    The blade on the Malco tool is a bit wide and thick for aluminum but it still might work. The ones made for aluminum were made of spring steel (think metal banding that was used for lumber). I haven't seen them for sale since the mid 1980's. You can probably make one for your limited use out...

    Corded electric impact wrenches?

    I have a two Milwaukee 1/2" electric impacts. One is 1970's vintage. When I needed a second impact a few years ago I got another Milwaukee. They've both been excellent. I also have an electric 3/4" that someone gave me. Don't remember the brand. It's incredibly powerful, and heavy.

    Old Kohler Engine

    I saw a 20 HP Kohler reported to be in good condition sell for $7.50 at auction yesterday. It's all about finding the person that needs your engine. Find that person and you might get $50.

    Shipping charge

    That actually sounds pretty reasonable. Try Greyhound. Last year Fastenal told me they wouldn't ship to CA.
