Any Heavy Equipment guys here?

I meant on the front bucket.
May have to offset it from center due to dump cylinder but no big deal.
My back bucket has an extra linkage that allows the bucket to curl right against the boom. That comes in handy for grabbing logs and brush. If yours doesn't have that extra link it might be a cheap fix for grabbing an occasional wad of brush.

 

These tags have me wondering if it was one of John Deere's own quick attach system back then.

First one is on bucket.

Second one is on quick attach coupler that is attached to loader arms.


Third is on arm that comes down to the top center pin on the bucket.

 

Is 200,000 lbs heavy enough equipment for ya?

 

Holey smoley. Did you sink that monster?

 

Nope. But I was heavily involved in the recovery.

Worked over 70 hours since Friday morning.

D9 wouldn't touch it. Ended up using an ex to dig around it and a CAT 994 with a loaded bucket to yank it out. Bent the rear pin so bad on the 992 I had to torch it out to release the tow cable.

992G are the small loaders. We use 980s as fork lifts.

 

Dat some good size stuff right dere! What the heck do you guys do? Do you load some of our members coffee makers with coffee? Like Star Gazer wildwest Gary_602z ?

 

Congrats on the new..awesome machine buddy !!! Totally jealous

 

Iron Mining.

 

Thanks man. It's been running good so far. Next thing I need to do is fill my grease gun and get every point. There is a lot of them on a loader backhoe!

 

Is this what you mean JustWood?





I was able to push these trees/brush and line them up after I dropped them and then pull them up and onto the "pad" for burning. I'll save what I can for firewood and burn the rest.

The hoe works GOODER with the big piles.

 

X100

 

Belarus. 9000 pounds of crudely cast iron and not overly operator friendly but burns zero fuel and you can't kill the beast. Bought it for the winch but decided to sell the m4500 Kubota with issues once I found out the beating this takes and asks for more.

 

1977 820 and ugly as the day it was built.

 

Pics are always cool. Like machinery.

 

I'll get her all washed and waxed and get some photos for you this weekend. Just need to control yourself and make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.

 

Great pics buddy...very jealous...as I have something similar on my mind !
This is number one on my dream list !
My grandfather had one when I was growing up...got sold before I was old enough to drive it
But I vowed then..I would have another. An old Dynahoe....with 3-53 Detroit SCREEAAMMIN !!!! They get referred to as Dynasaur.....or...Dyna-slow !!! I don't care.....they make up for those downfalls with noise and oil leaks lol !!!

 

I love things that are "forgotten" about....

 

Sweeet !! Miss the old days

 

I had it in my mind at one time i was going to fab up a bolt on bracket with teeth or a large angle iron for the stick that would fit right about where the bucket teeth meet the stick . That way it would keep stuff from slipping out. My bucket is a ditching bucket. Longer and narrower than yours. You can grab a big wad of chit and carry it around.
I never got around to it and the loader and grapple were purchased ,,, so no need for it.
I used my hoe the same way as in your pics years ago when we were clearing land for my gravel pit. Dozer would uproot trees and the hoe would carry them to the edge of the clearing. Saved a lot of pushing with the dozer.
