    Brought this in for some repairs:

    I would like to respond appropriately to your inquiries as I feel them honest in approach; always have, (believe it or not). I also feel many of your inquiries are deserving of addressment. Proud of my work is a very accurate statement. Bravado; not so much as I only upline what I have done, and...

    International Loadstars and Fleetstars share your opinions and stories.

    Liked the "Fleetstars" once the flip hoods came out. Lot bigger radiators available also. Friends still have a really nice one with 6V-53 diesel, w/5, and 2 driveline. Single axle tractor and pulls an equally clean tandem "Maurer" center dump grain trailer. Both are always inside but see lots of...

    I think I'll have another cup of coffee

    Biscuits and gravy, along with fresh coffee as laying out the days itinerary; mmm, mmm, mmm.

    Brought this in for some repairs:

    Finally located the last illusive leak to the hydraulics this afternoon. Hose for the boom swing, (left) is barely scuffed through the jacket and braid. Could not see it inside the machine and a long "snake lamp" w/camera did locate it. Removed the hose, and rounded up fittings to build up both...

    Replacing lower link pins...what am I missing?

    Thanks for the update. I use them often for parts as they tend to be a good vendor standing behind products well. Had a couple of issues such as you but have to be fair and objective as they are only a reseller, not a manufacturer.

    my hydrovac eliminator project

    Yes, have used them several times rebuilding brake parts and systems.

    my hydrovac eliminator project

    Rebuilders Enterprises in Bollingbrook does also. Good work but a bit spendy IMO.

    I think I'll have another cup of coffee

    Right there with you. When young used to get up in the morning, (5:15am) and share moments with grandpa over a cup of coffee before he left for work. Did the same in the evening except he switched to "Falstaff" beer. I've never consumed spirits, beer, or any alcohol myself, but certainly liked...

    You're going to need it. Cheap entertainment near it's best. "Preparation H" may be a viable requisition also to ease the pain for those in need.

    Brought this in for some repairs:

    Exactly; and I do have patience to await the desired online apology. However I will attempt to expedite the action by keeping the infraction at the forefront. Again, a "Real Man" would have no problem realizing their err in judgement and rendering an online apology for the same. We all make...

    I think I'll have another cup of coffee

    I still do. Aladdin bottle goes everywhere with me seemingly. Still have the original cup but never use it. Unscrew the No. 11 stopper, and drink straight from the urn. Hit a bump and wear it....... Grandkids wonder how in the world I can drink hot coffee when 90 degrees outside and it must be...

    I think I'll have another cup of coffee

    Is there a time of day, or night that coffee isn't perfect? Still use my "Aladdin" stainless vacuum bottle I purchased in June, 1977 every day for coffee. I rise early, (typically 4:45am) and retire about 10:30pm for almost 50 years and this bottle full is gone by 7:00am, and another pot made...
  13. The Old Codger

    Brought this in for some repairs:

    You poor lost soul...... Leak addressed and repaired. Did have to remove another line to tighten the fitting and reinstall. Then rebuilt both blade cylinders and installed the same. Nice little job having the correct gland nut wrenches and seal installers. I did however snap a tip off of my...

    Brought this in for some repairs:

    Breaking down blade cylinders this morning and owner is coming over as has never seen this done in the past. They are submerged in solvent tank at this writing as were very grungy. In the overnight hours there is a minor seepage leak noted at one of the hose fittings replaced yesterday. Very...

    I see responding further would equate to "Feeding a Troll".
