    D4D hydraulic cylinder on ripper

    Yep I found the tag right where you said OM. It is a bit hard to read but what I made it out to be was 58L 5656 but of course that L could easily be a D. I hope that gives me the right info for the cylinder. I have to go to Toowoomba on Tuesday where the Cat dealer is so will take the two tags...

    You should do well with those cull cows d9e whenever you get them to market. For the immediate future I can only see prices going one way and that is up. I think there are a lot of buyers sitting on the side expecting prices to fall but I think their hand will be forced to buy at the autumn...

    How long will a D4D run without oil?

    Try these photos Nige. If I go closer it becomes blurred. There are a few small black flecks on the paper but they don't seem to be metallic, they look like carbon particles.
