    Genie 2668 Lifts slowly.

    I know this has been addressed before but my situation is a bit different. My lift will start to lift, on initial operation, but will only go up an inch or so and stall. If I operate the switch back and forth quite a few times eventually it will start to work slowly up. Once it has become...

    Galion 503A

    Thanks for the info. I figured a guy could haul one on a gooseneck with a decent truck. I have a 26' and a GM dually diesel so that should be good. Any idea what year yours is? With the Waukesha it must be early 60's late 50's.

    Galion 503A

    Need a little advice from someone that knows. I am looking at a Galion 503A with a 6 cyl. gas IH engine all in pretty decent shape. The question is, does anybody have any specs on these. After Dresser, Fiat, etc. it is hard to find anything as far as weight, height, width, etc. Any help...

    Galion 118-G-05528

    Does anybody have any specs on one of these? I found one in pretty good condition for a subdivision maintainer, but can't find out enough about it to decide if it will work or not. I do know it has a 471 Detroit diesel in it but don't know weight, height, or anything else. Supposed to be...

    Cable conduit installation costs

    Thanks for the input, food for thought. The main problem is this is a new project for the most part, no one to compare to. We have to put the conduit in, they are supplying it. I know the specs never get followed on these projects, the one problem of bidding them. There is always someone...

    Cable conduit installation costs

    You are correct at the $4.40 per LF and the $2 for anything over 75'. We calculated this from our best guess estimate, if we were to do it T&M. Again, you are correct in the fact that everything would have to go well. And, as we all know the perfect world rarely exists in excavation work. We...

    Cable conduit installation costs

    I'm just looking for any advice on installing conduit for our local cable company for fiber optic services. We have done all kinds of electrical, gas, and communications lines for local contractors and homeowners and have always charged by the hour with mobilization time included both in and...

    more pics of equipment stuck!

    Unfortunately big iron gets big stuck. The "most" enormous, "most" powerful equipment is always the "most" work to get out. Did the operators have wash them on their own time?

    Hourly rate or "contract"?

    With all the discussion about costs of doing a job, large or small, hourly rate or bid job. Unless you have been to the job site, visited with the owners about what is to be moved where, how could you determine if one person's price is better than the other when the specifics of the project...

    best grease?

    Another very good grease is the Lubriplate extreme pressure 1200-2, it seems to stay in place longer, especially in pins, bushings, turntables, and bucket pins.
