I run a 140m with 17.5r25's. I have trouble with washboard especially in loose base as im knocking it down. Fast slow high or low tire pressure doesn't make any difference. Circle angle doesn't even seem to affect it.. Checked the tire/ wheel roundness . It has 1/2 to 3/4" side to side wobble on both right rears. About 1/2" up and down on the same two tires .. the left is pretty close 1/4" or less. Fronts are pretty good. Im thinking of trading fronts to right rear.. Do u guys think my measurements are out of round enough to cause my problems??

newbie grader or smudge bar for loader
Heh guys, I hope I'm in the right spot. I have a 5t backhoe and I'm trying to figure out how to get my driveway straight. I have an old Mitsubishi ws500 articulated backhoe with a 4 in 1 on my 2 acre property. The machine is a bit sloppy and the hydraulics drop a bit. I have about 150m of driveway which I want to re shape.
My issue so far has been that the bucket just follows the bumps and I don't see how a grader blade would be any different, seeing as it would be hanging off the front. To be fair, my skills aren't great and that is unlikely to change, this is a hobby.
So something relatively idiot proof would be ideal and a smudge bar would seem to be the answer. I can angle the blades vertically by hanging the backhoe out the side so the only thing I need is to be able to angle the blades to pull dirt to the middle(if there is terminology for this, please tell) I was thinking of doing this with additional grab points for the 4 in 1, ie 4 grab points total on the smudge bar so I can grab on a diagonal both ways if that makes sense.
Would this sort of thing work?
Do you think multiple 50mm ish high blades on the angle would shift dirt sideways or would it just fall over the top like a straight smudge bar?
The ones I have seen use shs, would I need to use angle or something that cuts deeper to work with hard road base? Or rippers?
Does anyone have a better idea?
Looking forward to hearing from you guys and thanks in advance

JD 772D Electrical Help Needed ASAP
So i switched out all of the ugly halogen lights that came with the machine other than the 2 very rear ones (those i left) for all 48w LED's. OMG these things are 10x bright, last 200x longer, and were a fraction of the price compared to what JD wanted for the ugly halogen ones.
the lights are 10v-36v so they should handle the 24v system no problem with no other wiring needed. Well, something isn't right. Today plowing snow my front left wheel wouldn't engage and it was throwing a code that there was a short in the system for the 6wd on that one wheel. it was reading like 23 for road speed compared to 300 on the right and 0psi compared to 1300psi on the right. After I shut the 6wd off then it would show a little psi and a little more wheel speed. We thought the sensor went bad but they can't get one til Wednesday so I'm waiting.
Also when I turn on all the lights my radio goes to complete static and the front wiper will sloooooooooooooowly drag itself across the window. If i turn on the wiper it runs fine. turn it off and it drags again.
Tonight I unhooked ALL the lights except for the two factory ones in the very rear and the wheel sensor works just fine, front wheel engages just fine, wiper doesn't do anything when all the buttons are pressed on the pad to turn the lights on.
So...................... WHAT THE CRAP IS GOING ON??? What can I check for on the lights, what can i check for in the wiring.... I'm up for any and all things to check out. With the lights unplugged I get the following trouble codes thrown:
Frt Cab Cnr Lts
High Current
FLC 2356.6
Frt Cab Cnr Lts
Open Circuit
FLC 2356.5
Rear Cab Cnr Lts
Open Circuit
FLC 2362.5
Cab F Work Lts
Open Circuit
FLC 2352.5
Low Beam Lamps
Open Circuit
FLC 2350.5
Side Work Lts
Open Circuit
FLC 2366.5
I'm assuming the "open circuit" is thrown because there are just no lights hooked up. However this High Current one has me puzzled as to why there would be a high current?
PLEASE HELP??? anyone???
TIA

Galion A600 ??
Anyone out there run or familiar with the old Galions? I'm looking at an '87 A-600 Powered by a 6-v71 Detroit I believe and has some kind of 4 speed trans. Mechanically the machine seems pretty solid but I'm unfamiliar with the details on these machines. Only having 4 forward gears was a new one on me. Theoretically the machine has about 9k hours on it. Theres a little history on the motor but nothing on the rest of the machine. Anything anyone knows about them in general would be interesting. I'm looking at it as an additional machine/backup machine for some forestry road contracts I have. Thanks in advance.

My first Grader
I Just got done unloading a Grader I just bought. I was ex gov machine. 1989 770B with just 1058 hours and 2930 miles. I haven't had time to check it out much. So far the main problem is no AC. The rear ripper is inop. I am betting its an electric issue.

'87 Fiat-Allis 65B Motor Grader Hub/Parts
We recently purchased a '87 65B Motor Grader and some yahoo who had it machined the taper off the spindle, cut a center out of the hub and put in a keyway and then welded it all together. Anyways, we have been trying to find a hub for the past couple weeks. We got some of our buddies at a local machine shop to make a new spindle but we can't find the specific hub anywhere. Do you guys know any places that still sell these? Everything we have found isn't the right one.
The numbers on the hub casting is - 690748
The number we have found out of a old manual online is - 73138427
Thanks

Caterpillar Model 42 Elevating grader, just curious about something
Cat is running a commercial on TV where the Model 42 Elevating Grader is featured. I would like to know what the round disk on the front is used for. I've seem the same feature on other models too. It looks like some kind of antenna or aiming device. It is directly opposite the steering wheel. Here is a link to the commercial on youtube. http://youtu.be/Za734QEW3W8

Champion 780 IV - Circle won't turn
Hi,
I need to reset the circle timing on the champion 780 IV. I have the manuals but currently the blade is stuck in the exact opposite position as it needs to be to do this, and won't turn (it just fights). How can I rotate this to the proper position to start the timing process?
Cheers,
Rob

New Graders
Anyone has a John Deere 770G or 772G or GP?
How are they standing up?
We are due for a New Grader so just wondering if we should stick with the Cat M series or a Deere.
Our Cat H series is nearly time to trade in. :)

Time for a change
The company I work for has been in business since 1945. I have been with them since 1998. It is run by 2 brothers, and now one brother's 2 sons are involved. The brother with no sons is the brains of the company. He brought the business back from near ruin when he first took over from his dad in the 80s. He is a fair, lets not get excited kind of guy. He is also a this is what I want, this is what I would do, but you're the operator, just get it done however guy. He spends 7 days a week in the office. He is on the go at 4 in the morning, and a lot of times he is still in the office at midnight. During slow times, he will take on break even jobs just to keep us working, when his nephews figure if there is nothing to do, send us home. At the height of the season, there are about 90 employees here. It's seasonal work, running from the middle of May, until the middle of December. Besides plowing snow, and hauling snow, there might be the odd job, but nothing to keep everyone working. Minimum wage here is a little over 10 bucks an hour, and I get 20, with time and a half after 50 hours. We get paid for holidays, and double time if we have to work them. The biggest perk of the job, is that I get to sleep in my bed every night, as they never work more than an hour or so away from home. The big guy is 60, and a diabetic. He has already had a few stays in the hospital from working so hard. I worry about what will happen if he gets sick and has to retire. I have a chance to go to work on a large union job. 20 days on and 10 days off. Direct flight right to the local airport. According to the collective agreement, by the time the project ends, I should be making a little over 50 an hour. Should I stick with what I have, and take the chance that by the time the big guy gives it up, that the nephews might be up to the challenge, or jump to a 4, or maybe 5 year project, and hope something else comes up when it is finished. What do you guys think. If I was single, I would have went to the oil patch years ago, but I do have a 4 year old daughter.
