Hey I have a late 90's sc252 I want to replace all 4 pillow block bearings, I am going aftermarket and was just wondering what I size they are? anybody order aftermarkets for these grinders?

Looking at buying a 2001 c6500 GMC with a cat motor and manual trans. The clutch seems to engage at the very end of the stroke ( the top) making me think it's worn out. I think these are self adjusting clutches that dont need to be adjusted. I called the GM dealer they quoted me $8k to replace...

of course YOU think it's a waist of time. Good deals to be had if you know how to search the right key words. Bought my new vermeer 1000 off it.

Thanks BC BOUND, I have been searching almost everyday on kijji and craigslist. Most are either junk, need to much fab work, no storage for gear or no 4x4.

What is a CDL? I don't think that exists in BC. Here our license restricts us by number of axles. In BC were allowed to drive a single axle bucket truck without air brakes under a regular drivers license. In other provinces such as ontario you need a upgraded license to drive a bucket truck (d...

Put your block a little higher next time rather then below or parallel with what rigging. Looked like a crapy worn out rope too for heavy rigging. Good work though, big tree.

No lift/bucket. Chip truck only. Thanks

I know those trucks will haul pretty much anything. Everybody knows those 12 & 24 valve 5.9 cummins are awesome with the dana rear end. Problem is the DOT often sets up roadblocks around here and there not always visible. I got busted last year in my f350, non dually diesel pulling my little 625...

Hi guys im looking at buying a used 98 dodge 3500 dually, cummins, 4x4 and a steel dump box. Does anybody know if I would be well within the safe payload capacity with a 10ft box and 5 ft sides (full of chips ) & towing a bc1000 vermeer chipper? or should I move up to a F450 ,550?

Hey guys, I replaced my old steel fuel tank yesterday on my 625 and had to drop the axle to get at it. When I removed it I didn't pay attention how the 4 bolts and spacer on the axle from came off? There is a angled spacer on each of the 4 bolts and I don't remember if they go on top of the...

it has it's place for sure, could it be a bit better design?? yes of course but overall there good little chippers for what there designed for. I use mine for remote work where my truck can't go or we need to wheel it in by hand. My 400 quad can easily pull it around on flat ground and slopes as...

Learn to climb is exactly right. The advantage to a bucket truck is you can take small pieces quickly without rigging them out and get the job done quicker. For bigger trees limb up as high as the bucket will go then hop out and finish it off climbing it. Ive always used the term ''Small Top-...

Im looking at upgrading to a used 1994 Hino Cabover with a fabricated dump box on the back. The Truck looks to be in good shape but does have 300.000kms but at $8900.00 I don't think I can go wrong. What do you think? Im gonna take it to the dealer to get inspected first as well.

3 weeks isn't all that long........I don't start calling to remind people until its been about 3 weeks, you gotta remember it probably took itleast 2 weeks on his end to get the cheque from his client and a week or so for the mail to get processed. Get used to slow payments, it all part of...
