I have been inspecting machines for myself and other people since 1990. In that time I have seen people injured and have had acquaintances killed by machinery. I could have been injured or killed myself by machinery that started to move when someone else started it and it started moving without them even doing anything other than starting the engine. I use extreme caution and do not advise

I thought this might be worth mentioning because the extending dipper is so prone to getting loose or sloppy. I usually have to mention in my machinery inspections that the extending dipper needs tightened up. With the JCB extending dipper, I’ll usually find that they come in tight or are fairly easily adjusted to be tight. So I like the design…Around 1988 JCB came out with this extending dipper

Let me start this with an explanation of why I even thought it might be useful to put this detailed process out there for anyone to read. There are many reasons but the most obvious is that there are a lot of Bobcats out there with cabs. The front door is destroyed because of people raising the loader arms with the door open, it knocks the door off the hinges and either breaking the glass or

I have evaluated thousands of machines powered by diesel engines. Though I am not a professional diesel engine mechanic, I would like to share some of my observations with you. I have completely overhauled many diesel engines and hundreds of gasoline engines. Machines are dangerous and you can be seriously injured trying to operate them. Remember, don’t start an engine unless you are sure you

The skid steer loader started out being used primarily as a material carrier, primarily manure. The machine has evolved into a jobsite work horse capable of many tasks utilizing attachments that are quickly exchanged on the machine because of the quick attach plate. This brief report focuses on some quick checks of the skid steer loader bucket and quick attach plate.Starting at the front of the

This is a very broad topic of which I can only begin to touch the surface. I will relate some of my past experiences where I have found problems with the skid steer drive line. Typically, the drive line consists of the drive coupler, splitter box, hydrostatic pumps, drive controls, motors, drive chains, chain boxes, axles, bearings, axle seals, and wheels . This discussion will focus primarily on

Don’t read this if you want to buy a bike, this is not a sale. If you like motorcycles in the least maybe this would be of interest, maybe not.I love motorcycles. I don’t ride much, used to, and I sure like it when I do. I still like to look at all motorcycles, read the magazines and look for all the newest bikes. I am not too sure why, other than I grew up riding, comparing and working on

My two year old made me feel really good today when we were eating together. She encountered a difficult task, (peeling a grapefruit) she took a breath and said emphatically, “I Can Do It”. One thing I am passionate about is telling my kids to say, “I can” every time that I hear them say, “I can’t.”One of my past and present dreams is to build my own machines. I started on the project about 10

This past summer I did something that I have wanted to do my whole life but never did - motorcycle competition. Finally after 30 years of riding, improving, contemplating, aging and watching my skills dwindle, I became a competitor.Observed Trials, the form of competition that I entered is not the typical scene that one pictures when you think of motorcycle racing. There is no bike-to-bike combat
