Hi Steve, congratulations on a great forum. I’m Andrew Swan (Swannyau) from western qld Australia. I’m a farmers boy, did an apprenticeship as a heavy diesel mechanic in the 90’s and have worked in a variety of work since then. I own a small cattle farm and do some local earthmoving work with Volvo loaders, have experience on most other machines and trucks. It’s good to have a forum to ask and or learn from

Hi! I was in the construction industry for 40+ years. Spent the vast majority of it sitting on front end loader back hoes and bobcat skid steers and the last 10 on track hoes. Maintained most of it myself For the last 25 years. I retired and bought a farm in Missouri…. We grow mostly rocks…. I have 2- bobcat T 300’s ,1- cat D3, 1- Bowmag BW 120 AD-3 , 1- Kubota 7060 tractor and an old driveway grader of unknown origin with a 10’ blade. 1999- ford F800 dump truck that I just couldn’t leave behind. I found the site while trying to diagnose my Bowmag no vibration issue and just had to join! One thing I noticed right off in that forum is no one seems to finish their post with the resolution of their problem. Looking forward to the brilliant minds here!

Welcome bud. A lot of new folks come, pick brains and don't follow up. That's a bummer. But lots of collective knowledge here

hi all, after several hours spent on the internet searching for ops manual i found nothing, so joined the forum to ask.
We have a small farm, and need a small helper. we are considering to buy used bobcat 315 with kubota engine. but since we have no experience with such machines (yes, farm with pitch forks, shovels and own muscles) we wanted to download an operation manual, service manual, whatever we can find. surprisingly, we found nothing downloadable, so came to ask for hint / help - please, does anyone have it, and can share? thanks!

Hi HEF. I'm having some trouble with a Continental TD427 engine in a John Hollingsworth generator from around the late 50s, from the build date on the starter.

Hello, new to the forums. Not a full time operator but any means but I've been around equipment on the farm and job sites for the last 25 yrs (tractors, skid loaders, telehandlers, cranes, etc.) Finally looking into purchasing some equipment of my own and could use a little wisdom. Glad to be here
