    JD 644J parking brake issue, help!!

    Its an oh deere so this problem will only multiply. John deeres are great machines up until about 5000 hours then they just become horrid. If it is over 5000 hours I suggest you sell it and get a anything else in the catalog. Its a shame because their tractors are bullet proof but everything...

    How to fill in potholes/road maintenance

    How to fill in potholes/road maintenance

    What would help is magically making every other operator learn the niche skill of floor building with raw material so I dont have to fix them all the time, I have enough work keeping the face floors where I want them between my normal job of loading the crushing plant without having to worry...

    How to fill in potholes/road maintenance
