    I have an old 1984 Ford F800 Hi-Ranger bucket truck.......

    That needs some help. It was my back up truck until an idiot blew the engine 2 years ago. It's been sitting for 2 years and we just finally got the time to put an engine in it. Everything under the hood is new. It runs great. I engaged the PTO and started checking the Hydraulic system. I...

    Vermeer 630A - one mans junk, is another mans treasure

    I just threw another $500 at this thing by way of a new starter and carb-MAN, let me tell you- this thing runs and starts like a raped ape. I took my dragging (very slow starter) to a local rebuilder and he wanted $200 just to rebuild it. I found a brand new one for $210, New carb...

    Vermeer 630A - one mans junk, is another mans treasure

    I got my teeth on Friday and installed them-it's starting to kook like a grinder now-the LEONARDI teeth look pretty good - we'll see how they cut. MARK, I got a pretty good close up picture of the cover and obviously I can see where it bolts up, but measurements would help, thanks

    Not Sure What TEETH to buy! Please advise!

    Getting close to being done going over this Vermeer 630A, and ready to buy a whole new set of teeth. I've been looking around and LEONARDI TOMAHAWK teeth look like the best deal. Vermeer wants almost $500 for a full set, Leonardi gets $300 for their best. I don't know what to put on it...

    Vermeer 630A - one mans junk, is another mans treasure

    that's fine-I've been working on the machine and have got a lot done-it's running very good- put new belts on it and getting ready for new teeth. I found dual belts for $20- Vermeer wants $85. New module and coil,(got rid of points), new fuel pump, changed a lot of grease fittings, painted it...

    Vermeer 630A - one mans junk, is another mans treasure

    actually , I talked to Vermeer in Orlando today and they say it's a 35HP engine , not 30. But anyway, I did the electronic conversion on the distributor today and she fired right up, runs like a top. I put the FLAME THROWER module and coil on it- new set of plugs and it did just what they...

    Vermeer 630A - one mans junk, is another mans treasure

    there was a metal tag on the frame , right under the battery, facing forward, 10 coats of paint on it. mine turned out to be a 1983 model, the serial number is only 4 digits. I called Vermeer customer service in Iowa and they verified it for me. Good Luck.

    You all want to cut trees ? Come on down to Florida's east coast !

    Man, let me tell you. You aint NEVER seen so many trees that need cut. The hurricane Matthew that just past by us took it to our ass. When it past by where I live, the eye was 30 miles off shore. If it was 30 miles more to the west, this place would be leveled. I work for the county here and...

    Vermeer 630A - one mans junk, is another mans treasure

    I finally found the serial number and called Vermeer in Iowa. I found out it's a 1984 model and the motor is a VH4D. They are sending me manuals. The one thing they couldn't tell me is if this is an early/late model 630A. Supposedly they changed production of the 630A in the early 80's. It...
