Tell me

[Peter Drouin]

Tell me this is not as bad as it looks.  :


 

Lull down,

[Crossroads]

Oh snap! That doesn't look good. 

[Den-Den]

On the positive side:  That can be repaired for less than the cost of a new machine (assuming parts are available).

[Percy]

THat appears to be a planetary gear reduction on some sort of big machine.  THe oil loss is not good and alignment of all the gears could be cattywampus....Id fix before running it.... MY diagnosis of this could be off....ima little hung over this morning ;D

[customsawyer]

What did you hit?

[barbender]

All I can do is confirm that yes, it looks really bad👎👎

[newoodguy78]

That's gonna cut into the hot rod fund a bit. 
Gotta hate when that happens. 

[Resonator]

Driving without oil in it, not good. Won't know full extent of damage until axle is disassembled.
Start part searching for good used axles.

[Southside]

You can try Webb Equipment in Fredericksburg, VA. They have a good supply of Lull parts

[Peter Drouin]

I'm calling them in the morning, I have got parts from before.


 

 

Nice  : : : : : : : :
Makes a man want to look at the other side now.
I got the lull from Hill view in Mass. Don't buy anything from them.
They LIE a lot.

[Jeff]

Man, that really looks sad.

[scsmith42]

That's actually worse than it looked....    >:(

[moodnacreek]

What did you hit?

Same question.

[240b]

if there was no oil in the compartment id take the hub off an look at the spindle an bearing.   an flush the diff too     TJ dealer once sent me a skidder with no oil in rear end it was expensive (for them)

[moodnacreek]

The axel may be reusable the way it is. If all the repairs are outboard I think it's just money if you can get the parts.

[newoodguy78]

Did a gear come off and go around to break the outside case like that? To me it seems like an odd place/way for it to break from an outside hit. 

[Peter Drouin]

I move some lumber set it down, backed up and heard a bang. It was full of oil before it broke. I think it was going before. Just no warning.
I will pull the other side tomorrow and look.
I have so much wood to cut, I do not need this now.
At least I have my heath and the $$$ to fix it.
Just not the time. :D :D
I will call in help at 125.00 an hr.  :D :D :D : :
I need more hot rod time. ;)

I have learned a long time ago that it is cheaper for me to keep sawing and pay the mechanic to do what he does. It isn't that I don't have the skills to do the mechanic work. It's that I'm more valuable making sawdust. The mechanic can get it done quicker and cheaper. It is also one of the reasons I have multiple pieces of rolling stock. I have even rented a piece before while the other is getting fixed.

I can't wait till I get to that point
Big Bob has been a thorn in my side the last 3 weeks
I'm hoping in a month my banker comes home for the summer I can work something out with him.
I have to use a private source as my medical bills are to much for a regular bank .

[Peter Drouin]

Yes customsawyer that is just what I'm going to do.
I'm not dead in the water, I have the JD with forks
 It won't lift as much. Like last Saturday, I had to cut the banding half unload the wood  to load the customers trailer.

[moodnacreek]

On top of that it is stain season.

[Peter Drouin]

You are not making me feel better, moodnacreek. I have the parts coming 2 weeks out. $ 6,500.00 plus trucking. 8) 8) 8) :D :D :D : : : : :

[moodnacreek]

I certainly give you credit Peter for having a back up machine and of course taking in all that wood to saw. What could happen will happen, but when? Probably better we don't know when, I'm sure you will agree.                                                           Here is a piece of one of my favorite songs ' That model A body makes it look like a Pup'

[customsawyer]

It's been several years since I have needed to rent one but the last time I rented a Lull it was like $1500.00 for a month. Might be something to look into while yours is down.
