Got the parts to fix my tractor today. Hydraulic pump decided to take a crap on Saturday when it was so cold. Luckily I have some good friends that are better mechanics than me. Pump was a tad over $1,200. Hope back to scrounging wood tommorrow.
Viking seems to be a Northeast thing, maybe they’re not shipped this far often.
Used Municipal equipment here is sold at several different auctions including Richie Bros. Find our what your local Township does with their used equipment, sometimes it gets traded in to Dealers and you might be able to buy off them. FYI, Viking-Cives equipment is made not far from Just Jeff and I.They are pretty popular 11 and 12 foot for a single or tandem axle truck around here. This is the style we had on the loader and trucks. I couldn't tell you which one was/is better.
Had. I bought a Massey 135 and it just out worked the old Ford, so I sold it. I know where there is an N series I can get cheap, but I don't know if i want to mess with it,Sweet you have a 600 series? We have a 651, seems to do all we ask of it.
We have a 9n we use for light work, it's really reliable but it's also really worn out.Had. I bought a Massey 135 and it just out worked the old Ford, so I sold it. I know where there is an N series I can get cheap, but I don't know if i want to mess with it,
So I take it they weren't caught in the rain without an umbrellaSo I just got my first facebook ban....24 hours for saying drug dealers should be hung to dry.
I thought it looked good where it is.I think I may end up moving the mount back to the next cross member in the bottom of the frame.

Our landowner's assn. bought one about that size on a brand new International a couple years back. Lucky me got to drive it back, with the plow attached, through Sacramento rush hour traffic...because I guess I was the only one with a commercial license.Here a snowplow that size is Caltrans or County, I know some private plow places in the mountains have former trucks from both of those. Not sure how they got them, I can search for auctions from those two entities. I looked at the nearest Ritchie Brothers auction in the past, they didn’t have any.
It is not the computers but the idiots that work there.They are complete morons. Makes you wonder how much of the activity is some stupid intern with a power trip and how much of it is the computers just saying yes or no.
Sort of like those ****ing assholes who banned my YouTube account for “repeated violations” when I never once had a violation in years of use.

Too funnyA looming project…
I saw that too...I'm guessing some hijinks from the people that worked in the shop that it came from. Or maybe it was numbered for some other reason.Hey, you got James Bond’s old machine.
I prefilled that and primed the fuel lines. It fired right up and it running better then ever.If you didn't prefill the hpop gwt ready for an extended crank session. Had to do that with my old man's e350 about a year ago. Did the valve cover gaskets, glow plugs, new harness and new orings/D rings. At almost 400k I didn't want to have to mess with it again.
