SAS light on Toyota forklift after changing starter

I changed a starter on a Toyota model 7FGU18 forklift, serial 61001. Of course I had to unplug a few wiring harness plugs to get to the bottom bolt, and remove the battery. When I stated it back up, the SAS light and beeper went off.



I googled it and found it is "System of Active Stability", a system that uses 10 sensors and 3 actuators to enhance the stability of the machine. It locks the rear axle pivot, or slows the tilt of the forks, when it feels the machine is becoming unstable. It mostly works when the forks are more than 2 meters high.



This machine works in a feed store, and seldom gets it's forks to 1.5 meters high. The owner and I discussed it and they are going to run it Monday to see if it just needs to relearn something.



Have any of you had any dealings with this system?

Electric Shovel

Since there is no shovel section, I figured I would post this question here. Now I have heard some people refer to an excavator as a shovel, but I am talking about a cable operated shovel. Never operated one, and probably never will, but I have always wondered, after you trip the gate on the rear of the bucket, and dumped the material, does the gate close under power, or do you have to bring the dipper back over center in order to close and latch it.....

John Deere 300D Loader Backhoe-When is enough, enough?

I own a JD 300D loader backhoe. 1996?

Replaced reverser. Big bucks

New/rebuilt water pump.

New transmission cooler.

Numerous other small stuff fixed.

Now the hydraulic pump goes. Nortrax says it can't be rebuilt and I need a new one.

Anyone got any options other than sending it to the scrap metal yard? It was a good machine.

Is it worth buying another one and using this for parts or vice versa?

Do all 300D's have the same size tires, starters, alternators, hydraulic pumps, etc?

Frost

Yesterday I had to dig out a frozen septic tank, the top was down 30" and the sewage was frozen over half way down the tank. Likely 5 ft. Of frost .I would use the frost pick for a while then put the 16" bucket on and clean up and square the edges of the hole , I was scratched an inch into the top of the tank because the frost was as hard as the concrete and I could hardly tell the difference. The lid was frozen down so hard we couldn't even get it open with a half hour of heating it with a tiger torch or a hot water pressure washer, we finally drilled a three inch hole in the corner and I broke it loose with the frost pick.Sorry no pictures by the time I had the lid off I was just glad to be done and forgot to take any pictures

Would you buy a "Cabover" tractor for pulling an end dump rig

Looking at older truck tractors to set up a rig for hauling debris, brush from land clearing, etc. Currently, conventional tractors with wet kits are bringing big bucks, even older ones. I have seen a number of older cabover tractors at very low prices. Even newer cabovers are reasonable in price it seems.

I know they are harder to climb into and out of, and somewhat harder to do engine work on, due to access. However, is there any "big" disadvantage in using an older cabover for pulling an end dump trailer. I have never owned a cabover, nor an end dump trailer. Just conventional 10 wheelers.

I have found a nice looking 94 Freightliner cabover near here, and am leaning toward a purchase if it checks out good.

What do you think: Cabover, or not??

new holland 555e backhoe loader curl and dump problem

In a sort of bind , Don't get much snow in my area , but do now I've got to remove snow off hill where I travel back and forth to home. Got in backhoe started up . let warm for 15 min. raised loader up then went to dump snow out of bucket and the bucket tries to dump but the control stiffens up back to neutral position same way with dump. It does have return to dig function with sensor on loader arm. I have never had a problem before. I Just used loader 2 days ago and it worked perfect then. Could it be the cold weather been about 18 deg. tried backhoe and its working fine. and loader arm working up and down . just the curl and dump control on front loader.

Engine Swap Questions

My 1986 International 1600 has informed me that its 6.9 diesel is no longer interested in going down the road. The reason I know this is the muffled rapping sounds coming from low in the block, and that any resemblance of oil pressure has ceased to register on the dash gauge. Having driven this truck for a few years, I have come to like it and feel its worthy of repowering. The engine(s) of choice seem to be the 93-94 Ford 7.3 IDI naturally aspirated, the later model 7.3 turbocharged, or the 7.3 Power-Strokes. Each seem to have their strengths. The early model IDI's seem to be able to virtually drop right in. Easy to maintain for old school backyard mechanics like myself. Not sure if it will give me any increase in power or speed (both sorely lacking with my old 6.9), but at least I'll be going down the road again. The turbo engines seem to need some "onboard computer stuff" which I have ZERO knowlege about, but will increase horsepower which ='s carrying 5 yds of material uphill without having to downshift to 3-low. Then there's the late model powerstrokes that I'm told I have no business trying to fiddle with, replacement parts (injectors etc) very expensive, not to mention more "computer stuff", AND they're expensive to buy! I'm leaning more toward the turbo cuz they seem to be plentiful and reasonably priced. As i'm gathering info/knowlege about this project I've been told there may be some challenges with sensors, as well as problems with the oil cooler. Has anybody that has done this job before able to share their wisdom on engine selection, sensor issues, and what's the deal with the oil cooler? Many thanks ....

Case 400 series track machine: Iveco engine only?

I have heard that all the 400 series track machines (circa '05 - '10') have Iveco engines in them. I also heard of someone in Indiana w/ a Cummins in a 450CT.



OK, now I know the Iveco's have a Cummins block (or something of that sort) but If we were to purchase one w/ an Iveco in it and have to replace the engine down the road it would be approx $20k. If it had a Cummins in it would be approx $10k. Therefore, we want to buy one w/ a Cummins in it.



Can anyone help clarify this for us. Thanks!

Landclearing Forum?

Is there a chance of having a landclearing forum happening on HEF? The reason I'm asking is that most of us in the landclearing game are using equipment of high horsepower and at times bad reliability for the equipment size. The knowledge of contributors on HEF is astounding (like no other forum), and it would be great to have a descent place for us in this business to converge and share with others.

Many years ago there was a lot posted in the forestry forums by people in the landclearing business, both owners and operators but that dwindled away as more forestry guys took over, which is fair enough, but in doing so we lost a great place for us to converse hence the question, can we have our own forum on Heavy Equipment Forums?????

CAT330CL overheating

I have some overheating on my 2006 CAT 330CL with around 11,000 hrs. It seems that the fan motor, which we bought new a month ago, has developed a fault. From what we understand the mechanic who installed it seems to have used the wrong procedure to fill the motor with hydraulic oil and make sure the limit valve is set to the correct pressure. Now, another mechanic tried to fix the pump by changing some internal parts, including a metal plate. But even after this repair, the overheating has returned a couple of times. Each time it is repaired the repair involves working on the plate. Typically this solves the overheating for a while, but it eventually returns. Has anyone experienced this? I am thinking that there must be a better solution than this for getting rid of 330CL overheating/faulty fan motor problems. Or is the best alternative buying another fan motor or are there some internal parts we can buy from CAT and change out?



Thanks

///// Heavy hauling for personal use ? CDL / DOT # ? //////

HI All,



I need to do some work on my property (lot clearing / grading / cut in driveway etc) and rather than hiring somebody to do it (expensive!) , I decided to do as my friend did on his property and buy my own equipment to do it myself.



In theory, buying will cost as much as having the work done BUT a side benefit of the DIY approach is that it is kinda fun and you also get to have a machine left over in case you need more work done in the future.



My situaltion is this...I found a nice large machine ( A combination trencher (putting in drain lines off my gutters / installing drain pipes to drain water away from the house, back hoe (handy for general digging / removing stumps , vibratory plow for neat wire installing to my out buildings, and a 6 way blade to maintain the gravel driveway) located about 900 miles from my house (yes far away BUT it is a good price and will do what I need....The machine weighs about 13K lbs.



I have a 1997 dodge dually (diesel, 5 sp, ext cab, 4.10 gears , 4x4, e) and just bought a Econoline 12T backhoe pro trailer (older 1995 model...needs some work but I got it at a very good price so I think it was a good deal)....Per the sticker on the trailer it weighs 5K empty).



I have a friend who is a welder by trade and he will make me a commercial grade hitch to handle the weight....(FWIW - We will be removing the rear bumper and having the hitch custom done so the pintle / ball (if we convert it over to a ball coupler of the appropriate weight cap so we can run weight distributing), moved closer to the rear axle of the truck to minimize the overhang length and the extra stress it would make for the rear end (while not as good as a goose neck or 5th wheel, it would still be light years ahead of the stock hitch location.....I don't want to use a bed type hitch because I run a cap on my truck for tools / storage etc...).



Anyways, my biggest concern is issues with "the man".....I actually went to our local DMV (division of motor vehicles) to get info on CDLs and DOT numbers because some of my friends say that is what would keep the man off my back in the even I get pulled over.



On the flip side I also have friends say I don't need it because it is for personal use and therefore a COMMERCIAL drivers license is not needed.



I understand the combo is heavy GVW rated (the truck sticker is about 11K GVW and the trailer is 24K GVW).....I only use the dually for me personally and the trailer I got a good deal on (plus if it is rated to do 24K , the 13K I need it to haul should not be a problem....heck the trailer alone could stop everything using its brakes alone I believe!).



Anyways, If I get the machine it would be a long multiday trip so its not like just like running out a couple hundred miles (at night if need be to minimize exposure)...plus I'd like to actually do some sightseeing along the way to and from picking up the machine (might as well make it a semi vacation trip to boot!).



So, is it fair to say that because I am doing it for myself (no commercial use), I should not have problems with "the man" in terms of CDL / DOT numbers.....(actually, I'll have to see how much weight my DMV says I can tow with my dually....in VA people sometimes tag / title things to make sure they have enough "paper capacity" even though this may be different than actual vehicle capacity.



I hate it when things get so complicated for seemingly such a simple task....Oh side note : The truck is in an LLC name for liability reasons (my house is also in a LLC name for the same reason)...not real business use just to protect property and minimize exposure to potential losses).



Thanks in advance for any and all help.



Andrew



PS - Since this this is personal use even tho heavy....I did not plan on a CDL / DOT number / stop at weigh stations type situation

michigan 175a wheel loader 4wd not working

Hello. I have recently purchased a michigan 175a wheel loader, and I'm having a few issues.

First issue is that I have absolutely no brakes. I need to rebuild the master cylinder but I live in alaska and have been unable to find anyone with parts for these. I also need some steering parts that are worn out and sloppy. Anyone know where I can order parts for these loaders?

Second problem is that I can't get it to go into 4wd. What I mean by that is that I can't get the lever to engage. It seems to be froze up inside the box at the bottom of the transmission where the rear driveshaft comes out. Any ideas?

Otherwise its a great running machine. Starts right up, hydraulics are strong, and moves right along. Just want to make it safe and usable around my acreage.

Thanks.

Question About Milling Rock?

Hey all,



I am working on the conceptual design for a rapid bridge replacement project in NH. The major issue with this location is not the bridge....its the profile of the roadway. To meet modern standards for vertical curves, grades, and sight distance, the road needs to come down up to 2.5 feet for several stations.



The problem is.....bedrock is only 5' below the existing road grade.



Due to the need to accelerate this replacement (only detour is 12 miles), we are looking into the feasibility of milling the bedrock down to grade. Drill and blast is not going to happen here.



Being in the Northeast, surface mining equipment like Vermeer Terrain Levelers aren't common. Can a modern cold planer mill rock (Diorate, slightly weathered....its the Granite State!)?

we have a 955L we just purchased an it has had an awful knocking in the motor,,, pulled it out an was guessing for bad crank an a rod or two ,,, needless to say pulled the head off an the number 4 piston has been busted an the top all beat up due to it dropped both valves into it,, pulled the bottom apart to find the cranks in perfect shape an all rods are fine,,,, needless to say the motor serial number tag on block matches the same serial number to the tractor 31J773 called cat an talk to my friend an he looked it up an the tractor is grey market an from Japan. so I went to my after market parts guys that I get all my motor kits from an gave em the part numbers off the main ,rod bearings an piston numbers an cant any one get the parts,,,there good numbers but the availability is from Japan,,, so I called my cat dealor back an gave em the piston number an he looked it up an said he had a piston sitting in a warehouse up north but couldn't do anything with bearing numbers,,, me an my cat guy have allways dug threw cat sis till we found an American serial number tractor close enuff to use to go by to order our parts buy, but were having issues with this motor unlike we have before... this motor I noticed when I removed the bottom end I found that the main an rod bolts all had cotter pins threw em to hold the nuts from backing off,,, never seen that before.. also the motor is old enuff for it to have a canister oil filter an not a spin on. not sure what were gonna do ,,, not sure if we find a lil newer motor if we can adapt all our exhaust an intake manifolds too,,, I know on a few 955L s ive worked on before they had the big square injector pumps an differ style belt tensioner,an they have the big heavy intake manifolds. any idea guys what to do ,,, just scared if we went with an whole completely newer motor with out changing an putting my older stuff on newer block that my hood would fit properly or would have to modify with cutting hood up... don't wanta look shady.

Trick behind track chain splitting?

For some reason the one track on my excavator got real loose and the adjuster is still adjusted where it was. Anyway, I went to split that chain to find the problem. I grabbed the 15lb sledge, and a shaft (to hit the pin), and a pipe to hold that shaft. I have got the master pin about 1/4 inch outside of the outer rail, maybe I've moved it 3/8 total. It has stopped moving. I hit the thing for about 15 minutes or more with no movement. I know it's not going to jump out of there. Is there something I need to know? This is on a JD790...... So about 50k lb machine. Can they be split with just a sledge and a shaft to hit, or does a guy need special machinery to do it?

Cat C9 injectors ticking on ignition on

Any help appreciated, I'm just done a Cat C9, initially Finning attended the machine as it was 250 mile away. They first diagnosed 2 injectors was failing thus causing the mis-fire, they attended a couple days later to fit the injectors, when they took the rocker cover off they found the valve bridge was off laid in the cover, they continued to fit the two injectors although the bridge was off due to the failure of the cam follower & camshaft on that cylinder. The machine was brought back home. I done the new camshaft, followers, and head. The engine sounds and runs ok, but there is clicking from the injectors when you turn the ign key on? I have heard them clicking before, and I work on a few Cat C9's, I didn't run the machine before I stripped it, and ideas?

Wacker Neuson Wheel Loaders

Anybody have experience or opinions on the Wacker Neuson wheel loaders? I'm looking to buy for snow removal during the winter and for hire in the other seasons. I'm leaning towards the Wacker Neusons, because they're close by, whereas the CAT and Case dealers are a solid 100 km away, which would be a logistical nightmare in comparison, as the Wacker dealer is 5 minutes away.

Komatsu hydraulic problem

Hi guys , I have a komatsu PC 30 Mr-1( the all yellow one)

Approx 3500 hours. Currently it has been having some issues . After operating for 20-30 min at either high or low revs and under load or no load when operating through a full cycle of hydraulics the engine is Stalling . Starts straight away and does the same thing almost straight away when put under the same conditions . If you wiggle the joysticks prior to the engine stalling it will regain revs . It idles fine otherwise . I have it at a workshop at the moment and the mechanic has isolated it to either the flow sensor valve or a weak pump . Without the flow gauges he can't diagnose it properly .Wondering if anyone has had similar problems ?

Thanks

Slobbering oil outta muffler pipe? D4D

Hey guys I overcame a D4D 68 model with a direct drive hand clutch with a hyster 4 wintch on the rear, well first off when I got the lil dozier I had to learn how to drive one with a hand clutch an let me say it was a heck of an experience ,,, first off I had to load it on a lowboy first off an yuppp it happened ,, I had a brain fart an froze up an turn the boy 90 degress an off the side of the truck, needless to say after I got it home an it sat for 2 yrs I finally got the nerve up to play with it an paint it up an repair a few loose pads, an now after its been painted the motor has decided to slobber oil outta the pipe while running, I had ran into this few yrs ago on a cat 525 skidder after building the motor the guy let it run for hrs at a idle an the the rings glaved over an I cought heck making it stop, so when I first got the d4 I didn't notice the oil leak from muffler,,, ive got on ,it a pushed around with it a low or mid range rpms an it pushs a little oil from muffler,,, though it may of been the vent tube stopped up, removed it an didn't make a differ. so I removed the exhaust manifold an looked into head ports, all 4 of em are wet from oil,,, this is like my second encounter of this happening to a motor,,but this is the first time its been to a used motor an not a fresh rebuild,,,i though to myself for sure a 4 pistons are not slobbering oil. im trying to get outta doing a motor job to it,, cause im in the market to do few repairs an sell it . does anyone have any ideas ,,like I say I really don't wanta build it but I will if needed, also does anyone have any idea of that the tractors worth,,,, it has limb risers an has the rounded top not the average square, also it has the heavy expanded steel mesh around cab an a hyster 4 winch on rear an a great undercarriage,,, has been replaced before an I just painted it an new decals, other than oil leak from muffler over all its a pretty good running lil tractor an steers an drives an starts great, I was gonna ask bout 8500 bucks for it an see how it goes but I have seen some for 9000 to 16000 bucks

The novice guide to Bobcat belt tensioner

Just went through a learn as you go process for the belt tensioner on my 773G Bobcat, so I thought I'd pass along a little newly learned knowledge for anyone out there that may need it.



I changed out all the belts on my 773 and noticed that the main drive belt tensioner was not really moving the belt as I tried to tighten it as per the repair manual and the sticker on the inside of the rear door. The pointer was not budging, so I took the tensioner all the way off. It looked OK until I looked at the back side of it and saw some nice cracks in the hub assembly where the spring fits into the assembly. The hub was made of cast and therefore did not lend itself to welding, so I bought a new assembly from Bobcat. Ouch! But, if you're like me, you can't live without your baby. Anyway, put the new assembly on and still the pointer wouldn't move from the one o'clock position. After consulting a few experienced people here, I rapped on the pulley with a hammer while prying down on the tensioner bracket. Still nothing. Not going to tell you how many times I took the tensioner off and put it back on, but suffice it to say I was getting a little frustrated. As it turns out, I was using a large ( 2.5' ) construction type flat bar for leverage. I finally got big 5' pry bar out and put some pressure on the bracket, and since my only assistant as usual was the dog, I turned a 5 gallon bucket upside down and carefully placed the other end of the pry bar on it to 'hold' the pressure down on the bracket. Then I tapped sideways on the new pulley and the spring finally wound up and the pointer went to the 3 o'clock position as advertised. I slacked off to about the 2:30 position on the pointer and tightened down the bolt. Ran for 30 minutes and looked good. I'll run it for an hour or more while working it and recheck, but I think that will do it. I will also put that check of the pointer in my annual maintenance. You don't want the pointer at the extreme end of travel ( one o'clock or three o'clock ) because that is fully against the stops on the hub and that will eventually cause problems like I had. The pointer needs to be somewhere in between and under spring pressure. Hope this helps, I've taken a lot from this sight and hope this gives some back.

'92 ford L9000 shuts down for no reason

Im new here. Driveing down the freeway and my truck, not over temp or out of fuel, shuts down and i have to pull over. After I stop and wait a minute, I turn the key off and back on. It fires up and i go back to work. Only happens every cupple of trips. we only run about 50 miles at a time. I have been all over the truck trying to find the problem. Every wire on the truck is tight without corrosion. I changed the ignition a year ago thinking that was the problem. And both fuel filters today. Problem still exist. Any ideas?

Im thinking they wouldnt hold up too good if you ran over a clod and stretched the track (or your axles) without bogies in the middle. It will raise ratio also.

4th function? Can i disable?

Hi Everyone, Let me give a quick overview. I have a 2011 John Deere 244J compact wheel loader, bought used last year. It has 3rd and 4 th function. We just use during summer months then sits in our shop, we drive once a month to keep things intact etc. We will NEVER use the 4th function, the issue I am having, after we use the loader for 30 mins or 4 hours, when we park it, each hydro line from the 4th function that goes to the front bucket area to accept an attachment, "drips" 2-3 oz per side for a day or two, then basically stops, which I'm confused about...is it because the machine ran, fluid is moving thru lines, even though no attachment is hooked? Is the o-ring expanding/contracting??. I went online got a parts breakdown, seems John Deere want $75.05 per ORING!!!!, so, is there a way to "cap" off or am I asking for trouble, or some how bite the bullet for o-ring. I'm somewhat mechanically able I "think" for this task....:Banghead

Dozing 0-32mm mass (fine to gravel)

Sooo, I gotta apologize in advance for bad english in advance here, cuz it's gonna include a lot of words and expressions I haven't heard or used in english.



Anyways, a colleague of mine and I was talking about bulldozer as one got hauled by on the road from where we were working.

As the conversation went by he told me he had heard that you had to operate in a special way or use a technique to doze 0-32 mass (we use the term friction mass here) wich is mass with a diameter of 0-32 mm. The reason for this was so you didn't leave the finer mass on topp, and leave the rougher mass on the bottom



I got so curious I just had to ask here! :) We are a two-man team who does small railroad related maintenance work with compact machines, so never used a dozer..



What do you know about it and if it is so, could you explain it please?



Thanks!

About Hydraulic oil life span

Hi guys, I'm new here...

I have been looking for some advices on this manner, I have a machine bought from europe country that we are applying this machine in asia country where the ambient temperature much more higher, the temperature in my country is about 23°C during rainy seasons and about 38°C during dry seasons.



The usage of the machine is not heavy, the machine operates at indoor.

It will run for about 1-2 minutes each cycle and the cycle intervals is about 15 minutes each and it operates for about 9-10 hours per day.

So it operates about 40 cycles per day, so the heating of the hydraulic oil from operating can be negelected.

The grade of the hydraulic oils are ISO 46.



I've done some diggings, this grade of hydraulic oils are capable to sustain until 90°C at its viscosity of 6.6



In this case, the ambient temperature will not cause any problems in the hyrdaulic's life span/wear...

Am I right guys?



And the humidity of my country is high its about 70% -90%.

Is there any chance that the humidity sips into the hydraulic tank or porous area without hydraulic oils that contains air??

sometimes, the weather can have a daily changes of (8°C-12°C ), the sudden changes of weather (change from sunny day about 33°C to rain about 25°C) and this type of temperature change will create humidity inside the hydraulic systems?



Please advice,

Alan

Bobcat Grader Laser Help

Hi guys. I just purchased a Bobcat grader so that I can dissect the wiring and create kits that will allow you to operate it on any brand of machine. Here is my issue. I do not know a thing about the lasers. Can anyone recommend a laser package to add to this so that I can see if I can get it to run without a Bobcat being attached. I would love one of you gurus to step in and help guide me through this as so many people have had the same issue, I felt it was time to step in and correct the problem. I think I will have a harness that allows you to operate the grader on any machine with 6 buttons within an hour.



I have created a controller that will manage all of the other brands that do not including Cat/ASV and Terex. The issue will be the lasers. I would love to be able to get them operating outside of the Bobcat controls and so would many others.

4900 international dt466 question.

Right now I pull a 7x32ft 3 axle cattle trailer with a dodge dually, it does fine but I drive so much I would rather be putting all those miles on a 10000$ truck instead of wearing out a 45000$ truck.



What is the good and bad of a late 90s 4900 with a 466 and a 10spd? Empty my trailer weighs about 6000lbs, loaded it's about 25k. Any idea what kind of fuel mileage I could expect? I know there's variables there.



I've found some late 90s like I'm talking about with under 100k miles for under 10k. I go 375 miles to TN on Mondays, 250 each way to KY on Tuesdays. And then shorter 50 to 100 mile trips 3 other days of the week.

Adjust Hydraulic Pressure Relief Valve

Recently purchased a used JCB 1CX. I attached a snowblower to the high flow circuit of the machine and it does not perform as one would expect. The blower calls for 55 lpm. From the specs I can locate it appears that the displacement rating for the high flow circuit on the machine is 90 lpm @ 3600 rpm. It says the maximum working pressure is 2785 lbs. (although these specs are for a serial number before mine). To me it seems that the high flow circuit should have more than enough capacity to run that blower. However, I have to go painfully slow with the blower through the snow or it just won't throw it far enough, it will just kind of flop out of the chute. I had someone put a flow meter on the circuit and they got 94 lpm of flow at zero pressure. As he turned up the pressure resistance at the meter it dropped to 54 lpm at 2000 lbs. pressure resistance at which point the sound changes as if the pressure relief valve opens. I get the same sound if I load up the snow blower with snow... one can hear what I would describe as very pronounced "hissing" noise which I am guessing is coming from the pressure relief valve opening prematurely. I have a few questions.



First, is it typical for the flow rate to decrease as the pressure increases or should that circuit provide 90 lpm at 2785 lbs. pressure?

Second, is this particular relief valve adjustable and where can I find it?

Is there anything else I should look?



Thanks.

Refurbishing Caterpillar blade control linkages, rod ends, etc.. No slop!

Hello.

On my d6d 4x series Dozer with a 163 hydraulic system.

The blade control linkages are sloppy.

The system uses bell cranks that are hundreds of dollars! Looks like a machine shop is cheaper.

It also employs chrome hardened shafts that the bell crank mounts on and uses needle bearing cage system as bearings. A grease fitting as well.

The linkage rods use rod ends. You know...the eyelets that are kinda like go cart tie rod ends.



Does anyone know of a source to order the rod ends without paint caterpillar prices? Should a person use a higher grade rod end than factory?



It sucks to wear your arm out blading all day with worn blade control linkages. Ya know?



Anyone have any tops or experience at fixing this?

I've started on mine. A few pieces at a time.



The first piece is started on was the pivot shaft right beside the engine starter. Cat wanted $800 for two bell cranks! My chrome hard end shaft on the mount that attaches to frame was worn in. I ultimately found a shop that rebuilds bottle jacks and they had a hardened shaft. I had to press out the old shaft after a miserable removal of the mount from the frame beside rear engine mount. I had the shaft threaded on the end to hold top bolt. Now that I fixed that.....up under the seat I found more shafts and bell cranks and rod ends that are loose and wobbly!



Up on the hydraulic tank.....where the fork linkage has a pin that is installed into the hydraulic lever that attaches to the main up and down lever.....the lever hole is "wallered" out. I would have to remove the hydraulic tank to take it part to machine it or Something?? The rear of the cylinder head buts up against it. Idk....would a small roll of shim stock slide in such a hole?



Does anybody have experience with such fixes?

It would really make operating my nice Dozer a pleasure to have no slop!



Thanks!

Have been following this forum for a bit, finally signed up last night. We are going to be moving to a farm in mid-state TN in a couple of months, and I have been looking for a backhoe. Planned tasks include fixing our driveway, dealing with some creek issues, doing some building and installing a geo heat pump, building a pond. So after quite a bit of reading and thought, here is what I think we are looking for in a machine, working front to rear:



4 in 1 loader bucket - for picking up rocks, logs and stumps

4WD - lots of off-rd use, rough terrain

EROPS with heat and AC - winters are cold, July & August get pretty hot

Extend-a-hoe with - better reach into places where it would be difficult to take the machine



Budget is up to $30,000. After looking for a while I believe my wants and budget are not well aligned - nothing new there! So far I have found a:



2000 New Holland LB110B that has all of the desired features and based on the sellers description is ready to go to work.

1999 Cat 416C, good tires, has a leaking stick cylinder, scratches on an outrigger piston and the AC clutch does not engage.



Both machines have ~3,000 hours on them. Looking at our location, we have 3 New Holland dealers within 50 miles (nearest is 23 miles away) and a couple of Cat dealers. Much less coverage for Case and non-green John Deere.



I am leaning toward the New Holland, but would welcome commentary from the forum one way or another. Could keep looking for a couple of months, but need it by June.



Thanks

Steve

Somero 3D Equipment

Hope this is the right forum, if not please move.



I have a Somero S-240 and I'm thinking about buying a 3D system to place parking lots etc.

So the question I have is what type of equipment have any of you found most successful? Ive been talking to various resources and it seems like the older equipment is great. I have a friend who sends all his equipment to get fixed if its outdated so I'm not super taken back by the outdated thing.



3D - 600 Newer and I'm told "idiot proof" but I'm told not really worth it?



3D- 4000 Oldest but someone I respect has 5 of them and loves them.

Tree Farmer C4 Series A

Hi all. I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I have a old Tree Farmer (not sure on year) C4 Series A with a 4 cly diesel. The problem I'm having is when climbing a grade only the left front tire spins, I thought it was full time 4 wheel drive. Is there a diff lock on this or is my front diff going? I was told this is a 60's skidder but not sure.

Machine replacement parts. Looking at making them. What is needed??

Seems a rather open question I know.... In another business, we build things. After having to make a few parts for my own equipment it got me wondering if we should apply our engineering and manufacturing skills to the replacement part and accessory sectors of heavy equipment. One area of interest for me is skid steer attachments and track replacement parts. Basically I also have to assess the market demand for such parts. I know some guys might get bit on say a sprocket set for a D9 but I am not yet sure how to determine the market for such parts yet.





Curious what you guy's thoughts might be? As far a capability, technically can make anything with enough demand and backing but I am really trying to stay away from forgings for now.



As far as skid steer accessories, I might rather look at a few things I have in my head or do something better, I don't like just duplicating components. Trying to think of a skid steer accessory that is not yet out there is, well, hard! Hell, they practically make a TP dispenser attachment.



As far as experience, we design and build water pumps, air pumps, structural shafts, structural components, composites, etc.

D6c Steering clutch pressure (again)

I've been working off & on this winter trying to solve the low pressure problem I have with the steering clutches on my D6c. It's kind of turned into a quest to solve what appears to be a combination of problems.



A couple of years ago I redid the steering clutch seals so I checked out as many other potential causes as I could before removing the clutches again, but found I was losing aprox. 100 psi between the steering clutch valve and the clutches (by comparing pressures with clutches blocked off or not)



To be sure it is all good I replaced the seals (with Cat parts) and both the bearing cages and clutch hubs (aftermarket). The seals, which are a split ring type, had a fairly large end gap (nearly 1/8") which I didn't care much for.

After reassembly I checked the pressures and leakage again. I did get some improvement but not as much as I was hoping for. I realize it's designed to be somewhat sloppy but would like to get a little better pressure readings.



Here are results after the new seals are in:

Video of leakage at clutch seals at low idle w/warm oil: http://ift.tt/1D8ytiN No doubt the piston seals have similar bypass leaks but aren't visible.



2nd video: Lt & Rt clutch pressures (low idle, warm oil) http://ift.tt/19ZdXHN Note sluggish pressure rise. Manual spec. is 315 psi min. pressure



3rd video: pressures @ high idle http://ift.tt/19ZdW6C First gauge is supply pressure to steering valve, then the two clutches.



4th video: bevel gear case showing oil flow from valve as clutch is operated: http://ift.tt/19ZdXHU

Stream at far side is overflow lube oil for bevel gear bearings

Near stream is dump from steering clutch pistons



5th video showing sluggish pressure rise even with clutches blocked off at the bevel gear case (low idle, cold oil) http://ift.tt/19ZdXHX

The slow pressure rise here makes me suspect a secondary problem....perhaps bypass at clutch valve or in trans relief valve (see my other youtube videos of trans valve)



I real temped to pull the clutches again and make my own seals that don't have such a wide ring gap. They appear to be made of Delrin and wouldn't be difficult to make since I have a lathe & mill.

First I wan't to eliminate the clutch valve as a problem. I have located a used valve that I may be able to try out temporarily to see it it makes a difference.



Basically, I think it's a build up of leaks from wear on several different parts that's reducing the flow of oil. I did tear down the gear pump and found it to be in good condition and checks within manual specs. I can get an aftermarket pump for about $150



Anyway, thought I'd post these videos to get other opinions about what I'm seeing.

John Deere 210LE Skiploader

Hi everyone,



Just a quick question in hopes that someone else has experienced my proem. I own a 2006 JD 210LE Skiploader. My parking brake will not activate while engine is running. However, when I shut machine off it activates automatically like its supposed to do and machine will not roll. I did replace the parking brake switch, but to no prevail. If you've experienced and resolved the same issue please share your wisdom with me.



Thanks!

Bobcat question

Stumbled upon this forum...looks pretty cool! Looking forward to checking it out...

Here's my question...

I have a 2000 bobcat 763 used pretty much just for snow removal. She only has 400 hrs. It is garage kept, well maintained,with oil changed and greased way more than required. Hydro oil has been done, fuel filter,etc.

My question is ...is there anything else I should do to this machine. I realize maintenance is on a hr. Basis but given the age, I was wondering if there are things that should be done!

Thanks in advance!

JD 310A how do you remove the pickup pump in tranny

hi I need to replace the pump in the transmission as its not getting enough pressure to the hydraulic pump at the pto.... I have already pulled the front off just not the engine but kinda looking you probably dotn remove it from the engine front?? where do you go top of tranny? and does the cab have to come off etc?



as there is enough hydraulic power to slowly lift the back hoe but not the front bucket and its able to drive back and forward that's about it

Anyone have experience with horizontal grinders??

Looking into buying a used horizontal grinder to reduce the volume of debris and brush we are hauling from cleanups.

New to business -- Residential Demo Bid

I am a young guy who started contracting on my own 2 years ago. I've been plowing snow and looking to add demolition and dirt work to my business. This is a job I was asked to estimate.







This is a six bay garage. There is a block wall on each end and in the middle made of 8x8x16 blocks. The walls are about 11' high and 20' deep so about 250 blocks per wall. This makes about 26,000lbs of block to get rid of. I can rent a heavy material dumpster 10yard / 20,000lbs capacity for $425. The rest of the structure is lumber and barn steel. Thinking maybe a 40 yard / 10,000lb dumpster for $589 (Hopefully big enough).



My estimate was



$525.....................................heavy dumpster (+$100)

$689.....................................light dumpster (+$100)

$100....................................mobilize backhoe to site (half to an hour drive)

$1000..................................10 hours of backhoe with me operating (rental cost $40/hr)

$400.....................................10 hours for helper labor (I pay him $20) ($20/hr for me)



$2,714 Grand Total.



Any comments on this bid? Thanks for your opinions in advance.

Skid Suggestions

New member here.

I'm looking for a skid machine that can handle pushing/blowing snow on a 100 foot drive, as well as be able to grade new gravel for my drive and do some light brush clearing. On top of that, in a year or two I'd like to turn this machine into a business doing the same chores, but for other people.

The problem is I can't decide on a track or wheeled machine. I've read countless topics all over the net on this, but it usually ends up in a pissing match over what machine is better. The tracks won't disturb lawns and landscaping, but won't have the traction in icy conditions.

But from what I've read neither do tires, meaning for good traction in the white stuff I'm looking at either studding or buying new winter tires or tracks. Thoughts?



And btw I've settled on Bobcats. My dealer has a nice looking T870 with low hours available...

Weld on thumb

For a SK 250 Kobelco. It already has a plate under the stick. Actually had a thumb at one time but was removed before I got it. Fixin to put a new Pemberton thumb on it. Instructions say weld all the ag around but leave a 2 1/2 gap on the end and weld out to small pigtails for stress relief. I've seen thumbs that were welded like 4" then a 2" gap then 4" etc all the way around. Also they suggest welding with E7018 stick. I was considering weldin with wire. I can do either one. Just looking for opinions. Thanks for any input

773 G-series BICS Controller

after running down all possible wires,grounds,connectors,and checks for fuses and relays,I still find that my non-functioning overhead left and right instrument panels just wildly flash and beep for about 5 to 10 seconds then go off leaving nothing powered. The hour meter says "input" after the panels shut down,which according to the manual indicates that "The controller is not communicating with the left instrument panel" those are the exact words the manual states. So,looks like controller problems. Anyone know where I can get one,if I decide to go that route? Thanks

Just starting as a mobile heavy equipment mechanic

Hello everyone I am new to the forum and am very glad I found this forum. I just got offered my dream job as a mobile heavy equipment mechanic at the company I work at and was wondering if anyone could just give some over all advice in regards to what tools I need as far as must haves as I already have a lot of tools and also just whatever advice anyone would like to share . A little about me, I went to Los Angeles trade tech and majored in diesel technology and the cement and aggregate company I work for now recruited me straight out of school. I started out working swing on cement mixers and any chance I got I would work on the yellow iron I would jump at and a little over a year later after showing interest in going to the heavy equipment repair side they offered me a service truck, working days and on the job training with the heavy equipment mechanics. Also I wasn't sure if this was the right thread but I figured since I work for a aggregate company I was in the right place. Last question are we aloud to say what company you work for? Thank you and I look forward to hearing everyones responses.

john deer 690 d lc want swing

Hey guys ,, been working on a friends old 690d excavator,, of course someones had there hands on it before ive jumped in it, at first off I noticed the swing brakes wasn't working,also it had a god awful roar when swinging side to side, also it poured hyd. oil outta swing gear box assembly,, needless to say I removed swing motor an box an replaced all the bearings an races an brakes in the box,,an reinstalled it all back to excavator an sat the swing motor back on top of it, an of course when started up it wouldn't swing at all, it all went together easy without any issues. im just wandering if my hoses are tie in to there correct locations, I put them back were I though they came off from,, but like I say someone did have this apart prier to me. im just wandering is the plumbing correct,,, but when I try to swing side to side the machine bogs down cause the swing brakes are still applied, Ive looked at parts breakdowns of the plumbing an some looks like my stuff an some don't, on one side of the drive box are 2 fittings on top of each other (a small an a larger one) and on the otherside theres a large one,,, ive gotta figure out witch ones the oil for the brakes an do I have my hoses right. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS BOUT THE PLUMBING,,,, may have to remove brakes an tear down an look over but I think its in the plumbing,,, any help out there.

Water Pump question

Hey guys, i have a fair amount of experience with diesel trash pumps and dewatering but not in this situation. I have a job where i have to pump about 500,000 gallons of water , from a pond . The pump will be sitting about 15-20' above the water, with the elevation to the end of the discharge hose about 75' tall by 600+ feet of discharge. Can a 4" or 6" diesel trash pump push water that far efficiently ?

Hey Guys

We have both listed on our website under Dozers. Honestly I am not sure if these are comparable models because I think the Cat D6-D is a lot newer than the International TD15C .



More what I am asking is cost not being a factor is there a comparable International Dozer to a Cat Dozer?



Im also looking for a Cat or Cummins 250 Kilowatt Generator. We have a nice 100 KW Cat Generator but would like to track something down a little bigger.

I've got a 90 1845c with aux hydraulics controlled by foot pedals. I currently use them to angle a plow blade which works great.



But I'm wondering if there is a way to lock the hydraulic on if I want to use other attachments. Or do I just have to keep my foot on the pedal, which would be a pain.



Also, does anyone happen to know if the aux hyd valve is open or closed center?

So far the few calls I have made say that "you should replace every gasket every time" but they can't tell me how it is constructed and I know that more and more gaskets are multi use in locations such as the valve cover so can anyone tell me how this is made and whether it really needs to be replaced?

I think the job would be similar for most brands and models. I have the new ones. Before the frigid weather hit, I took off the side panels and pressure washed the entire unit. the outside ones are not too bad but the inside left is realy bad. Will have to take out seat and remove panels to get to the rt inside one which probably worn badly as well.. mount has a long bolt thru the middle, and short ones on each side. I was hoping the side bolts would just screw out of nut plate, but looks like they are standard nuts with couple washers. Any advice on how to get to the underside nuts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Charlie
