I'm new to this setup. How do you keep an eye on the rear scraper while working? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'm looking for Wabco 252FT parts in the U.S. So far, I've only found Clark Enterprises and Gene's Equipment. If anyone knows of other reliable suppliers or has experience finding parts for these machines, I'd appreciate your recommendations.

I'm working on a John Deere pull scraper and found that the bearing race has come loose and worn out the race seat in the hub. I've repaired similar hubs before by machining them and pressing in a bushing, but I'm wondering what other options are out there.

My Bobcat 331 is flashing code 03-11 and 63-05, the alarm stays on, gauges go crazy, and the machine won't move. Battery still reads 14V while running. Trying to figure out if this is a wiring issue, bad ground, regulator problem, or controller fault.

I recently bought a 1977 Champion D720 grader with a DRMCO9138 transmission that sat for nearly 20 years. The engine runs and I've primed the clutch, but the machine won't move. I'm only getting small traces of transmission fluid at the lines and wondering if I'm dealing with low fluid, a charge...

I recently picked up a Volvo EC150 (2002 model), and I'm trying to figure out how to disconnect the quick coupler bucket setup so I can switch attachments. The machine has the button controls in the cab, but I honestly don't know which buttons are supposed to release the coupler. I don't want to...

When I got the machine, transmission oil was leaking out of the vent, and I found it about 5 gallons overfull. The previous owner mentioned the brakes needed to be pumped to work, and now I'm seeing the same thing- it takes around 10-15 pumps, and the brake fluid reservoir ends up empty. Here's...

I just wanted to share a quick positive experience for once! I've been lurking on IronPlanet for months, but I finally pulled the trigger on a Case 580 Backhoe last week. I'll admit, I was pretty nervous about buying a machine based on photos and a PDF, but the process was surprisingly smooth...

Looking for some advice here. I've got a Komatsu PC210-10 that recently started making a weird "flapping" or fluttering noise coming from the exhaust stack, especially when the RPMs go up. The machine still runs fine, no major loss of power (at least not obvious), but the sound definitely...

Working on a JLG T500J boom lift, the platform tilts upward when raised but levels again when lowered. Could this be a counterbalance valve issue, or should I check the leveling cylinder or sensors? Appreciate any insights

Hey everyone, I've been running a 2015 John Deere 245G LC for a bit now, and I've always had a gut feeling that the engine doesn't sound like it's reaching full song at wide open throttle (WOT). It just feels a little "lazy" compared to other excavators I've operated. I finally dove into the...

I've been looking into it for heavy equipment parts lookup and maintenance tracking, and it seems like it could really speed things up - especially with mixed-brand fleets. For those using it: Does it improve uptime? Faster parts ordering? Worth it for a small or mid-size fleet? Would love to...

Hey everyone, I've been checking out Boom & Bucket listings lately while comparing used heavy equipment options online. One thing I'm still trying to figure out is the shipping and transport side of things. If you buy a machine through Boom & Bucket, can they help arrange equipment shipping or...

When checking the chassis ECM on a CAT 730, don't jump straight to replacing it. Start with the basics first. Check battery voltage, fuses, relays, and all the grounds since low voltage or bad grounding can cause a lot of ECM faults. Then hook up the CAT ET and pull the active and logged codes...

Any tips on machine positioning, travel direction, or general best practices to avoid tipping or losing stability?

Can I simply jump in and start bidding the moment I see an item I like?

If your JLG 400S lift basket has no power, try these steps: Check wiring for breaks, pinches, or flex damage. Make sure basket connections are tight and clean. Test fuses and the key switch. Look for safety switches or sensors that cut power at height. Try moving the boom low and high, and note...

The machine lost all hydraulics due to a bad engine-transmission coupler and a broken inching spring. It runs again, but in high range, it bogs the engine, risks damaging the new coupler, and stalls in low range, which works fine.

My caterpillar AP555F keeps showing a code for the left height sensor. I already tried using an extension harness to check the wiring, but the code is still there.

We're in a jam. The crane was supposed to be "ready to go," but now the outriggers won't work. No outriggers, no lift.
