    Arborwear T-Shirts Tech or Transpiration?

    I tried all kind of shirts and settled on long sleeve Husqvana. nice tight zipper all the way to ur neck to keep saw dust out, nice chest pocket. The link is a short sleeve one. I have to wear long sleeve for safety. As far as pants, I only climb with Arborwear ascender. Great combination...

    how long a flat bed do I need to carry a mini track lift, like 90' reach?

    tossing around ideas for my next investment. I'd like to find a 2000ish 7.3 F550 with a flat bed that's long enough to carry my future spider lift when I can no longer climb often, preferably a dump bed. For those who already have a lift, what's the minimum length of flat bed do i need? I can...

    damage to service drop, should I go ahead and pay the full amount or is there a way to reduce it?

    Their service is already bad enough now. Lead time used to be less than a week, now over a month for a line drop.

    damage to service drop, should I go ahead and pay the full amount or is there a way to reduce it?

    This is my second loss in 17 years. The last one 5 years ago is 2300 out of pocket for a cracked driveway piece. Not bad, just feels awful!

    damage to service drop, should I go ahead and pay the full amount or is there a way to reduce it?

    I wouldn’t even have hesitated to pay out of pocket in full if it’s a reasonable amount. Seems to me it’s quite excessive.

    damage to service drop, should I go ahead and pay the full amount or is there a way to reduce it?

    I’m more leaning toward paying out of pocket. I’ll have a meeting tomorrow with my agent for annual renewal and I’ll ask him about it.

    damage to service drop, should I go ahead and pay the full amount or is there a way to reduce it?

    I normally wait till the utility to drop the line. However, this time their wait time is over a month and its not that hard for me to do it without line drop. So, I decided to get it done. However, a small twig broke off the large branch we are lowering and broke the line. it's a very old type...

    seeking knowlege and experience fixing oil leak on my bucket truck

    Mine turned out to be much more expensive. new collector (rotary joint) cost over a grand, a small bag of seals, almost $300, more valuable than gold. I decided to try the kit. useless instructions. have to call tech support to find out what temperature to heat up the seals to get on the piston...

    This might be a good truck for someone looking

    saw this on my local CL. If I had my future track lift NOW, I'd consider buying this truck. 21' bed should be able to hold your lift and a mini skid on the front. there might be even room for something else. I'd prefer a 7.3 with a 16' stationary flat bed so I can mount all the tool boxes I need...

    seeking knowlege and experience fixing oil leak on my bucket truck

    Took it apart today, actually quite easy. It’s pretty obvious why it’s leaking from the top. The black oil seal on top was falling apart. however it does NOT look like a easy job to replace the seals. The two black ones on the top and bottom are made of two pieces, a C shaped almost hard...

    seeking knowlege and experience fixing oil leak on my bucket truck

    Thx for all the advices. Without that I’d have to spend much more time in this. Took on it this morning. Took about 3 hours to remove the “collector”. The key is to undo the bottom 3 lines, one supply line from one of the two outrigger switch and 2 returns from the hydraulic tank. Once that’s...
