580k cav inj pump?

ok in this pic there a line on the top cover it goes to a tee ,the other line it meets is from the injectors then in goes into a short rubber line then into what i think is a check valve in the frame then .back in to the fuel tank.

ok Question if i were to break open that fitting / line on that top cover does fuel come out under pressure or gravity .

my issue is that ( i posted once before ) that i can start cold ok but when i turn off motor and try too start a few minute later i get no fuel . solenoid getting stuck wont open on power up /key / i resort by relieveing presure in the pre injector pump line by opening the drain on the water sep filter . then she stars right up
t
i have a new case solenoid / i got two others new oem / they all work on a bench test . so im guessing that after you turn motor off , normally the leftover fuel under pressure goes out that top cover and back into the tank ? is this correct

im figuring there's a blockage in that return line ? or that check valve stuck? anti drain check valve A177556

is there anybody that know there shXt to help . i need to turn it off and on without issues im not the let it idle all the time type

New truck?

I've always owned my current T 800 but it's got 700,000 miles. I'm wanting to possibly add a new truck to take some of the workload off my current one.
For all you that have bought new trucks with good warranty's did you regret it?
My payment would be $1700 on a new one with a 5 year warranty.

New truck?

Hey, new here, got a few questions.

I have a 1984 international s1700 with the 6.9 IDI. It has an Allison at545 right now and I'm wondering what the best options are as far as a manual transmission swap. I currently have a 3 speed brownie box behind the Allison and I have at my disposal a zf5 from a 350 super duty diesel of the same year. Bum wondering what the easiest bolt in swap would Be. Is there a Spicer I should be looking for? Thanks.

takeuchi tl140 isuzu engine trouble

my tl140 doesnt have any power and is hard to start. If you pull the glow plugs they have oil on them. It has new fuel pump, lines, and filters. It does not have any noticeable blow by. The guy I have working on it says it needs a new engine. He has not done compression test due to not having the right fittings for gauge. Any ideas?

Line Boring Systems

I have been giving much consideration to expanding my small company and getting into line boring.

This is how I ended up last year in this forum, while doing a web search for information in regards to line boring.
Needless to say just a ton of good information along with some great pictures of different jobs that are being done around the world on here. My note book is filling up. The sharing of information has been great, one of the reasons I have remained in the trades for this many years, even though the knees & back are shot.

I had the opportunity this winter to assist (be in the way) in a small line boring job and was that much more excited about the prospects of the work. There is something about the process of line boring /bore welding that seems to fit my way of thinking and the experience I have gained as a Millwright. I think there is money to be made in my location and within the Marine industry doing high quality line boring like I have seen done by others on this forum.
The project I was involved in this winter used the Climax BB5000 system and I was recommended to go with them when I take the jump.
I have looked at the Bore Repair System, York's system, American Machine Tools and also have found some home made setups. I have noticed that the costs will vary as much as buying your tools at say Harbor Freight vs. Snapon or Proto for example.
I am in the process of putting together costs of the different systems, I would like to walk into the bank with some information not just "give me some money."
When my work slows down in mid summer, which does in my line of repair work, possibly renting a line boring machine and do some self learning in the shop instead of sitting on the porch with the dogs drinking my beverage of choice and watching the afternoon fade away.

Any information that could be given in regards to the above systems and/or any other ones as I have seen in this forum or other ones that may be out there also, that are worthy of consideration.
If you could let me know why you use your system or prefer one over the other it would be a big help in my ventures down this path. I would like to invest in a good unit, that can be expanded but also don't want to put my company under just yet.

Thanks for the help! I am looking forward to hearing any and all information from the pro's.

RayF my 17 year old son wants to move to Perth and go to work for Hofmann, thanks for the link in your thread, what a great company and story of how they started. One hell of a apprenticeship program they look to have.

2003 JD 230 LC starting issue??

New to the site.. Thanks in advance for any help... My uncle is having an issue with a hoe looking for some direction. I have not seen the unit yet going there next week just thought id post on here maybe get some insight so all info is second hand. It intermittently won't start and he says there is some plunger / solenoid on the side of the engine that he has to wrap a tarp strap around and pull on it and leave it on to keep the excavator running. While the strap is on the key basically doesn't function u have to release the strap for the plunger / solenoid and then it shuts off. he said he tried a different key and it seemed to work ok for a bit not it is doing the same thing.. he is thinking it is and ignition switch issue?? Basically though with the strap pulling on this plunger/ solenoid he said it starts everytime but just has no shutdowns unless the strap is released.. Sorry not sure if anyone is going to understand that but any help would be great. Thanks

Is it normal for a Takeuchi to creep slowly on a steep hill?

I just got a TL240 and on steep inclines the machine inches slowly downhill with the no levers being moved. It will stop if I lift the safety bar or apply back pressure with reverse. MyTB175 does not do this. Should the hydrostatic pressure hold the machine fast or is this normal?

Wondering if I need to adjust something.

Need Info on Old Army Trucks

Ok it's official, I'm a sucker for punishment...

In the order to get a little close to a semi and farther away from overloading little gooseneck, (and do it cheaply) kinda thinking about some older army trucks that have popped up.

One is 70's American General M813A (there are actually two of these) and, this is why I'm a sucker from punishment/insane, a '52 Studebaker M211. Reasonably sure they would go cheap. I don't know the condition and have never seen the machines in pictures or in person, I'm at the thinking aloud stage right now. But any of you guys know anything about these trucks?

The M813A is a 5 ton right? The deuce and half's go pretty high, there is a demand for those, but less so for 5 ton's.

Trying to work within my limitations such as insurance and driver's licenses. I don't have a CDL, and Dad's only got a class B. But the M211 is small enough that anyone can drive it (pretty sure), and with farm plates Dad could drive the M813 and pull a trailer with a gross vehicle weight up to 20k.

I know it's probably insane to think of using these trucks for anything other than parades, but for me I think I might be able to make them (or one of them) work for part time weekend farm uses. Well aware that most people buy these for playing around and fixing than actual work.

And yes I do know that hiring is always cheaper than owning, but it's hard enough to work around my schedule, much less have to conform to someone else. Been burned enough by annoying 3rd party truck drivers to want to not have to depend on them anymore. Won't be able to do much with either one of them, but it would be a start.....

As usual, thanks for any and all info.

7753 Hour Meter

Hey guys I have a bobcat 7753 skid steer and when I bought it the spring the previous owner so the hourmeter was working fine. After getting at home I took the cab door off for The summer and while using it I noticed that the hourmeter was not working.

Once I saw that meter was not working I took a test light and check to see if I had power at meter and I did. Thinking it was about meter I went ahead and ordered a new one. Once installed, I tested the new hour meter and this one didn't work either.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?

Switching from Mobile Oil

my uncle and i have been using mobile oil in the shop for the past 25 years. two of my suppliers just stop carrying mobile and I'm thinking about making a switch to save a little money. My uncle rather not, stating that by using mobile he feels that if we go over the hours on a service he's confident that the oil will hold up. just wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on Kendall Oil and is there any issue with switching brands, do i have to change the oil in all of my machines or can the two products be mixed when a machine needs to be topped off? let me know what ya think, thanks

1988 JD 450G Water Pump Repair

I have water leak and it appears to be leaking behind the water pump pulley. There is dirt built up in that area and the water is only only the rear pulley(closest to engine).

I have not replaced or repaired this pump before. How hard of a job is this? Can I pull off fan and then pull pump off to repair?

The pulley has slack in it so I am assuming that the bearings and seal are worn and I will need a rebuild kit.

Anything I can check/clean/adjust on pump before starting repair work?

Thanks

3208 cat injection pump issues

I recently purchased a 613b cat scraper which has sitting for years. Its got that ol 3208 and doesn't have but a few hundred hrs on it but it has sit without being started for 10 to 15 yrs. I drained the old yellow looking fuel put in fresh and purged the air, cracked the lines at the pump and spun it over. The purge pump appears to b getting enough fuel to the pump and when loosened it is under pressure at the pump. The shutoff selenoid is working by pulling the plunger up. I did pull the top off the pump and nothing is rusted and the fuel is clean inside of it. I unscrewed the spin on fuel filter poured it out which looked clean but **** yellow. I rinsed it with clean fuel and put it back on. I'm gonna put new on but just preliminary and didn't look dirty at all. Its hitting on a couple cylinders but wont start. I loosened all the injection lines at the pump and spun it over and it appears to be pumping fuel thru only 3 or 4 lines. Being the engine sit for years I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to check or free up to get it running. I don't have a clue when it comes to injection pumps. Any information or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Kobelco Computer contoller

Made the mistake of moving the stepping motor arm with the power on. I assume that is what fried my controller. Bought the newest upgraded part number contoller for my Mark III. Mechanic installed and can't get it to work the new stepping motor to give me low idle or the right FC setting.

I asked if they connected the new controller to Kobelco site to ensure it was spec.'d for my machine and they said they did. Mechanic said they could only get it to work if they used the Mark IV settings.

8.2 turbo detroit specs

I bought a 1985 ford with a 8.2 turbo detroit. I know of the issues most people have with blowing head gaskets. Silly design but it was detroits first attempt with a four stroke. Im having a hard time finding all the specs on. It has a spicer 10 speed and eaton rear end. It only has a little over 200 hundred horse power and would like to juice it up a little. These engines run at such a high rpm and honestly dont like it. Im going to run it til it dies but it really has been a dependable dump despite its history. I was thinking of giving it a better turbo or bigger injectors. Id love to hear other people personal experiences with the engine and like to find better specs on it.

So, here my is problem... One of my friends just buyed a Bobcat miniexcavator x220, and when they loaded it in a truck, one of the hydraulic tube was cut off and all hydraulic fluid is gone, he says. What type of hydraulic fluid (or maybe motor oil?) should be used to replace the old one? I searched a little bit but couldn't find anything...

hydraulic spool help needed

I have looked for information about removing and replacing the spool valve orings on the backhoe controls on my 510 john deere without luck.
it is a old machine but I am hoping the process probably does not change much from model to model and someone who has done this can help me out.
from the parts diagram it looks like the orings go on the spool rather than in the bore? the check valve is no longer available ,same thing with spool. john does have the orings.
I guess I will just clean everything and replace just the orings. ANY TIPS?

Ford 555a filters and fluids

I picked up a 555a for what I consider a fairly good deal. It appears to be a beast of a machine. This is my first backhoe, to be used on our rural property for light earth moving, projects and the like. Paid 4500, starts and runs great, can extend the hoe and it barely moves (all pins very tight). About half the hydro hoses are new and one cylinder has been repacked. After 30 minutes neither side leaked down after being shut off. The bad is the cab has no doors or glass and fair amount of rust. Will be cutting and welding that issue later. Most of the electronics dont work.

That said, I ordered a service manual but it will not be here for 2 weeks. Can anyone please help me out with a list of filter and fluid part numbers?

When is it time to change bottom pins & bushings?

Howdy. I've got a 2006 New Holland LT185.B track loader I bought used about a year ago. It's a 10,000 pound machine and the tipping weight is about 4,000 pounds I think.

The bottom pins, as in the two biggest closest to the ground, have about 1/8" of play in both of them. I can see this when I lift the bucket high and shake the front of the machine back and forth.

It operates fine but looks like the grease isn't held in there too long and well due to the play in the area. Is that the bushings and pins fault or the seals?

When does operator know when the pins and bushings need replaced and what's a fair price and source for a set?

Do these commonly fail if using to lift 3,500 pound bucket loads? Or do they typically only get sloppy but don't break? I want to finish a project over summer and am planning if i should delay finishing it or complete and then repair over winter, which I'd like to do. Thanks for advice!

second question. do i grease the boom and chain, or just 40 weight oil? Someone told me just use either 40w or 50w..is that fine? Thanks!!!

D4E and D3B Opinons (purchase)

I've been having zero luck finding a decent dozer on Craigslist...the last three I wanted to look at were sold within a day, and I didn't even get to look at them. So, I've expanded my search a bit and found two I may be interested in looking at, and thought I'd get some input here.

For background, I only have 20 acres, but my projects are going to be spread out over the next year or so, and some will happen in stages, so renting is out of the question. Examples of projects are a pile of about 3,000 cubic yards I need to move/grade to raise up a low spot where I knocked down a house (we bought several adjacent properties and knocked down the houses). Then I have about 2,000ft of fence line to cut through light trees (2-3" max) along the perimeter of our property. I'm also going to make a shooting berm for a pistol bay (50yds deep, with side berms)...probably 10ft high at least. In short, nothing huge, no ponds to dig, no big trees to push down (I'll cut them down and dig the stumps out with my backhoe). I'm a weekend warrior....a couple of hours here, a couple of hours there, so I'm not trying to make money at this.

I thought I wanted something in the size of a D3, but I've read so many mixed comments about the earlier models with dry clutches/brakes and pedal steering (in general) I'm not sure if I should drive the 2.5hrs to go look at this one. It was repainted, which always makes me wonder, but the UC looks good in the pictures, and at least this way you can see leaks, etc. The dealer said the hour meter doesn't work (go figure) but he estimates that it's got probably 5,000 hours on it going off other wear. Aside from the UC and checking for excessive blow by (typical 3204 problem) are there any things I should really look out for?

http://ift.tt/1VSrCoa

The first link doesn't want to take you to the exact machine, but they only have one D3b listed. This might work better:

http://ift.tt/1VSrAwz

I hadn't planned on looking at anything quite as big as this D4E, but it seems like a lot of people are a fan of them, and parts are readily available. I have no idea what the seller means by "average undercarriage" but it's only about an hour from me, so it won't hurt to take a look. Aside from not being able to tell much about the UC from the pictures, it looks like there might be leaks around several of the cylinders/pistons, and I'm not sure what's going on with the cutting edge...almost looks like it's not even there, right? Anything to pay extra attention to on this? I've read that finals are the weak point, but I can't imagine an easy way to really inspect them on the lot. The good thing is it's pretty inexpensive, and they might have some wiggle room built in. Thoughts?

Takeuchi tl8

I was dropping my Tak excavator off at the local dealer today for scheduled PM. One of the salesmen approached me and asked if I would like to take a TL8 back with me to the job I am on and run it for a few days. Hey, I am not one to pass up the chance to earn some money with a free to use machine. Never owned a CTL or ran them either. I must say this thing is a beast. The dealer just got in the new TL12 vertical lift machine and the video online does not do this machine justice. It is like no
other CTL I have ever seen, I read on here some guys were waiting to check them out. I will say you will no be disappointed. That being said has anyone recently bought a new TL8 and if so are you happy with it. I cant say enough good about the TB153FR i own and have been pondering adding a CTL. Any opinions either way would be appreciated. Thank you

Converting Fuel Oil Tank to Diesel

I got a good deal on a empty and almost sludge free 275 gallon fuel oil tank, with stand. There is a very small amount of sludge right under the fill hole, but the rest of the tank looks pretty clean. Probably under a square foot of sludge, maybe an inch deep. Call it a quart of sludge to be generous.

What do you say to the idea of dissolving the sludge with diesel fuel, say a few gallons at a time, cycled down the fill hole and out the supply fitting on the bottom, strained through all purpose paper towel, until the sludge is gone, and clean diesel cycled through tank comes out clean. Then a good three day soak with water and cascade, followed by a rinse with a pressure washer.

I think that will clean the tank down to bare metal...

Or I could just removed the sludge, and run the fuel through a filter built into the filler hose...

Wing Nut - Washer for Case 530CK model 32 Backhoe part needed

Hi Everyone,

Newer owner here and I have a 1963 530CK backhoe/Loader. It was missing one of these star/wing nut washer type things that helps hold the backhoe on the tractor. It works without it, but sometimes pops off with only one holding it on at the bottom. Pictures below. Can anyone tell me exactly what it is called, and possibly point me to some places that would have one I could purchase? Case dealer said they don't sell them any longer, and the last time they did they were $175.00. I went to Heinz & Sons in Mishawaka, IN yesterday but only saw about 8 or 9 backhoes among the thousands of tractors they have there. I think the case part number is D34027.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jaime

Unloading dozer on pavement.

How do you guys unload a dozer or anything with steel tracks without tearing up the pavement. I have used everything from old decking from my lowboy to strips of plywood to lay under the tracks. I saw a lowboy the other day that had some old conveyer belt rolled up on the deck, I assumed he was using it for unloading. Has anyone else used that to unload on? Any other thoughts on unloading on pavement?

Trouble with searches

I'm a new user.

I am trying search for specific threads related to Cat 277 MTL. I have tried several combinations with 277.
I get the following message. "The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:
277" or the 277 is omitted from the search.

I would think the machine model number would be a legit search word.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Anyone using a 2015/2016 ASV skid loader or track loader?

I'm curious to know if anyone has experience with the new 2015/2016 ASV skid loaders or track loaders and which diesel you have. Perkins, Deutz or Cummins.....seems like they use a few. Do the machines compare to top end machines?

Also if you have a 2015/2015 Terex.....or a Takeuchi wheeled skid loader......which are made for Terex & Takeuchi by ASV. www.asvllc.com I'm considering a machine or 2 to rent out.

Cat D7E no throttle and Eng oil leak

SER 48A11968
Little back ground. I was called to fix an oil leak. When I got to the job checked hydraulic and engine oils little low but ok. Removed Eng side covers and saw oil had been leaking. Started engine and ran for about 10 minutes worked hydraulics but found no visable leaks. Got operator to walk unit back to shop about 20 minutes away so I could wash it and clean all the oil up. He got about 5 minutes from shop and called said lost power and oil spraying out. So I went and found engine oil running out of belly pan and engine would not throttle up. Checked Engine oil again was about a gallon low. It looks like the oil is coming from a plate on the timing cover just to the top left of the governor housing. It has the generator adjusting bracket mounted to it. I understand if the injector pump is not getting oil that it won't throttle up. But can't understand the plate leaking causing it. Anybody got an idea. Thanks

FNG....from the Heart of Dixie

Completely new here. I looked for a thread where we introduce ourselves but didn't see one. (Found it) It will take me some time to look around and get familiar with the site.

I am a former precision machinist who went back to school and have worked as a manufacturing engineer (General Dynamics) in the aerospace/defense industry for over 30 years. I am on my last week at my job and am going to retire Thursday on the 31st. So I wanted something to do in retirement, because I like being outside and in the woods is better. I bought a 2004 model John Deere 450H LT to have for a hobby. My son just bought 20 acres of neglected, wooded land to homestead on so I should get plenty of practice working on that place. I have been doing some cleanup and small tree clearing with my JD farm tractor with front end bucket but ran out of horsepower and traction. I will be doing some limited transport of the dozer between my farm and his place, about 31 miles one way. I bought a Big Tex GD25-28+5MR that I will modify with some rough cut oak boards placed on the ramps for traction and will pull it with my F350 dually powerstroke.

So, I am here to listen, read and learn because I am ignorant to dozer work. Familiar with tractors but not steel tracks. Bear with me as I hope to ask the occasional newbie question and learn from those with experience. Thanks.

case 580e hetaer shutoff?

I have tried to adjust the heater cable in the roof several times but can't get it to work properly and taking the roof apart each time is ridiculous! It is ok in the winter time but not in the summer. There is no air conditioner but the flowing air from the fan is a help if the heat is off. I would like to put a valve in the heater line to shut it off in the summer if possible. I also know some systems require two valves- an in and out. Can this be done without wrecking something and where is the best place. Thanks for any help.

Back Killer 963C

Just finished a nightmare job on this stinky garbage pig of a 963C, 6 out of 12 manifold bolts broke flush with the head, manifold was warped close to 1/8" from being run so long, soot everywhere! Luckily I only had to drill out one stubborn bolt, all others came with an ez out, which was good as there was no welding or heating possible unless I spent a day dropping pans/washing (I'm not to fond of having to wash landfill machines...) My back is telling me i'm not a contortionist but you damn well need to be when crammed into a 963C!

Cat 308e setup security code and now locked out.

Right folks,
I feel a right ******** as installed security code on 2014 cat 308e and now I'm locked out.
Spent two and half hours trying every code I would ever use.
So approx six months ago tried setting it up but didn't manage to install it. I know I did change the code but what we wrote down and recorded isn't working and I'm not sure if I had tried again at some point but ???
Anyhow there has been a few excavators going missing locally so decided while washing off and servicing to turn on the security, followed by the book and hey oh locked out.
Question
What can I do now?
Does the dealer have to visit yard to sort?
Finally just to make things worse boom was stuck out of the door while servicing so couldn't lock up, ended up dragging digger out with the hook loader so I could go home. 🙈🙈

Transmission pressure light flashing between forward and reverse

Quick question for the more knowledgeable than me.

Our Volvo l30 bm with Clark 18000 transmission is flashing the transmission pressure light when changing between forward and reverse. It just flashes for .25 seconds when you pull the lever to change between the two.

No problems when working, all pressure seems to be delivered as required. It will spin wheels when asked and climb on demand.

All filters are clean and oil is correct.

It takes 2 3 seconds for the pressure to build at startup and the transmission monitor lamp to go out.

Any ideas?

Volvo EC35 electrical gremlins

So long story, my grandfather in his 80's decided he wanted to be able to move dirt with something other than a shovel and wheel barrow and bought a used EC35 for him it worked well. He might of used it once every 6 months for a couple hours. He passed away this summer and I've ended up with the Volvo. I've used it a few times and its done OK. Yesterday I fired it up and drove it about 25-30 ft and started digging a small hole and the hydraulic boom lost all power, tracks and blade work fine.

I've read a few things on here and a couple other places that are stating that its a fairly common problem and generally the computer/display is the culprit. However at $3000 to replace is undoable for me. One gentlemen pondered if it would be possible to bypass the computer and install manual switches to engage the hydraulic systems and add gauges to monitor the engine functions? I have done zero trouble shooting at this point and that's next on my list but I really prefer manual controls/readouts to computer displays.

Can someone tell me what this dozer is worth D4E

Hello, I just joined the forums and I hope it's ok to ask for help. I've got a 1979 (I think it's a 79 or an 80) Cat D4E with a 4 way blade. Not sure on the hours as the hour meter stopped working. My dad bought it brand new and it would have low hours for the year but I have no way of proving that except it looks pretty good for the year. It has limb risers and it runs well. It could use a new idler wheel on each side. I'm thinking about selling it and just trying to get a real world idea on what I should ask or expect it to maybe bring.

1840 Case Leaking Control Spool on Tandem Pump

Control spool on the tandem pump is starting to leak oil pretty bad. I replaced the o-ring but it didn't make any difference, oil still comes out from around the control arm and runs down the case of the pump. I found a replacement spool online, but it is for a 1845 case.

http://ift.tt/1SemtRR

The picture looks like mine, but I am not sure if it is the exact replacement. Also, should I just replace the shaft part itself, or should I also replace the bushing that it fits into ( if that is possible)? Its seems parts like these are hard to find.

Thanks, Doug

Hello New member intro

Thought I would join for info and share any knowledge I may contribute. Started with a 580B 30 yrs. ago now 4 hoes later have a 2004 580SM. Have always done as much of my mechanical work as possible myself (trial and error often ). I'd never thought of going on a forum to ask advice in the past.
The problem I'd like to solve is my hoe doesn't like to shift out of 4wd without a lot of back and forth or lifting the whole machine and flicking the switch a no. of times. I imagine there must be a solenoid some place but I have no idea where to check the connections and solenoid itself. Or if it could be the switch its self which I plan to trouble shoot tomorrow. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Bill

Insight on track jaw kleemann versus sandvik

A little back ground we have crushed for many years with a static setup a Parker jaw dumping into a Norberg cone with a three deck screen. We are looking at selling our static jaw (Parker) and getting a track mounted jaw do open some new doors into being a little more versatile then we currently are. So anyways we have looked at a power screen xa400 a kleemann mc110z and a sandvik qj341. Kinda of looking for info on the kleemann being they don't seem too popular here in the states but it's a damn good deal and only has 3k hours the jaws can still be flipped and they are gonna give us a set of new loose jaws as well the powerscreen which is a great unit has same hours but a higher tag. The sandvik same price range as kleemann but 5k hours with a new set of jaws and cheeks....the sandvik we like but could use some work on the feeder and grizzly bars and some hydro leaks but a very clean straight unit. The kleemann is a great straight very well built looking unit. Any insight would be great. Also both kleemann and sandvik are c9 cat power plants the powerscreen a Scania
I can also put in some pictures if wanted

Having hydraulic issues on 1967 AW Super 200

Grader was working, sat for a year or so, tried to use it, hydraulics dont work. Upon pulling levers testing, busted an old rotten hose on the front end. Eventually found a hose and replaced, still not working. I didnt feel like the pump was putting out sufficiently, so I took it to a local shop, long story short, I replaced it. I still have little (some, but little) fluid on the pressure line feeding the input side of the control bank. There is some type of pressure valve on the tank, that the 1st line goes to from the pump. Ive had it off, but I cant seem to get it fully apart, I cleaned what i could see and disassemble and put it back on.
I can adjust that screw in this pressure valve until it makes my pump tighten up and slip the belts that drive it, which makes me think this pump is making pressure and "deadheading".
Im not exactly sure what this pressure valve does, but I think I do. Would someone who knows what I mean, please explain:
1. what exactly this part does, and
2. if this piece is bad, where/how can I get one? All i see on it is "FAWICK"

Thanks in advance. Im by no means a hydraulics guy (obviously), but I am trying to figure it out.

swing motor leaking?

Bobcat 335. Leaks hydraulic oil fairly bad. Only when swinging. Pulled swing motor and the area below the swing motor was filled with oil. Should the swing motor be sealed so that no hydraulic fluid goes down to the pinion bearing, or is there suppose to be a seal on the pinion shaft to retain hydraulic fluid? In other words should I be able to pull the swing motor and run it without it being bolted to the machine without oil going everywhere?

1998 terex tb60 cummins idle

Ever since I had the local tractor shop do an oil and filters change my Terex Cummins 4B3.9-C runs rough at the 2nd of the 3 rpm settings (low idle, mid, high) and eventually drops to low (and smooth) idle.
I bled the system.
When I hold the actuator (2 years old) in the correct position it runs fine. The Addco controller module, which controls the actuator, flashes yellow and green then RED as it drops down to low.

Where does the Addco get it signals from?
The actuator mount looks like something is missing. It's just hanging by the shoulder-bolt. Is there supposed to be a rubber shock pad between the mount and the actuator hanger?

Homemade Boom for 580 SM

We made up this boom assembly for our 580SM Case, which extends out 6' from the face of the mount. We had a quick attach mount already & made the rest up in the shop, including the front face plate that the boom & gussets are welded to. The little nubs sticking up on top further back, provide some additional places to wrap a sling around to keep it from slipping, for heavier lifts when required. Tried it out today for the first & it seems to work pretty good.

What final drive oil?

I haven't found much clear information on this: My Takeuchi excavators and track loaders call for 90w gear oil in the travel motors. Yet no one seems to carry that. 80w-90 is commonly available here however. Yet the auto parts store guys said if it calls for straight 90w then I shouldn't use a range oil. So should I order 90w or is 80w-90 just as good?

When it comes to final drives is it worth paying 2x as much for synthetic? Or does it not really matter in that application? Reading here it seems the finals get dirty and moisture contamination before the oil breaks down so it may not matter. But it's a 10k part so... What are people using?

Tractor supply has Traveler 80w-90 and the local auto store has Mobil 1 synthetic at 3x the price. No one has 90w. Anyone have opinions?

Ford 4500 steering stops working

I recently had a lot of work done to the steering on my 4500. They rebuilt ram that moves the steering as well as made new pins and bushings for the entire mechanism to be able to be adjusted and operate correctly. When they dropped it off it was steering fine. That was about a month ago and I've barely moved it since. Yesterday I finally got to using the tractor. When I first started the steering was working excellent. As time wen t on, maybe over the next half hour the steering got harder and harder to the point that the power assist is non existent. I turned the tractor off and took a break. About an hour later I came back and the steering was fine again. Then after another half hour or so of using it the same thing happened. This thing is a brute without the power assist. I checked the hydraulic fluid at the reservoir and it was full. The filter however was dirty and had not been changed. I confirmed it had not been change by calling the shop where I had the work done and they in fact did not change it. I am in the process of acquiring an new filter. Besides changing that out what else could be the problem? I know I should just send it back to the shop and tell them to finish the job. And I may end up doing that. But if I can get it going on my own with a relatively simple fix that would work out best. Those guys charged me an arm and a leg for these repairs and the towing for the tractor to their shop aint cheap either. So far it feels like I'm out lots of cash and no results other than sore arms.

Ht 50 skid steer ...hero time

Hi all ...Im a newby and really happy to find such a useful site.. I purchased a (HERO TIME ) HT 50 WOMBAT new in Bisbane ...years ago..I used it for a small biz....driveways... post holes... light clearing pretty much a lot of things. With a Drill ..level bar and Bucket..Also i absolutely needed a machine for my property for pretty much everything ..and regularly..
The 2 cents ive got on these are as follows;

1 The owner needs to be mechanically/ e;ectrically minded minded and capable of actually repairing things ...as like any other machine ...**** happens ie ..u break it or things just break..

2.Parts are cheap as and Jimmy at WCM in WA does a great job an things are sent fast.his english is not that flash but getting better ..HE does VEWY GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE haha good value .and like I said ..cheap

3.The machine is ...easy to work on..very basic .I have had a nigly problem from the start and its intermittant and does it randomly ...Yet to work that one out

4. Performance in my opinion is feckin awsome for what it is..I love my HT 50 even though people bag it out ..they go out and spend a fortume on something they cant fix...so for a small timer or property owner ...go for it ..I would definately buy another one ...hope thats helpful cheers Chris

Track Adjuster Grease Block -Cat 315bl Excavator

Drive work necessitated loosening the track.

Grease fitting block on one side is at an angle pointed more downward than squared to the framed opening. I was able to loosen the relief to do what was needed, but was a bit tight in trying to get a socket on to the relief bolt After the track was loose, I tried to move the housing/block with a slight pressure, no luck twisting it. I have looked in the parts book but cannot identify what keeps it aligned with the access opening?

The track is presently separated, so if there is a bit more to it that I need to do, seems now would be the time.

Guessing it may be something very simple? Or should I say hoping it is? What do I need to do to true the "grease housing/sleeve??" up for better access through the opening? The "grease housing" is a square configuration on this machine. Do I need to remove the idler assembly out of the slides to adjust this??

Where is the dipstick located to check the transmission [Alison I believe] on 72 31aa Wheel loader? When I start it up cold it takes a while to get it to drive forward and backwards. I do not know where the dipstick is located to check the transmission. OR if you have any other thoughts I need to address, please let me know. If anyone has a parts breakdown or Service Manual for this machine--GREATLY APPRECIATED! [4v71 Detroit for power].
Thanks

Caterpillar TH330b self repair mission

Hello, I have a 2005 Cat TH330b forklift and it has been a great machine up until now. Recently it has started giving us some problems, I shall try my best to describe them and hopefully someone may be able to shed some light on my issues.

There are two main problems. One is intermittent and the other is more troublesome so I will start with that.

Problem 1: The hydraulic implement isolator solenoid is showing an under current error. I have traced the wires from the ECU and using a multi meter and a jumper wire I can tell the wires are not broken. My Cat ET diagnostics shows me the isolator switch is working as the ECU is getting a signal from the switch. The only fault I can see is the ECM is only putting out 0.9v to the solenoid, I think this should maybe be 12V?

Problem 2: The gearbox will not engage. It happens maybe 50% of the time. Sometimes we can leave it for and hour or so and it will work again other times it will go in 5 mins and sometimes it will not work all day. My ET diagnostics is showing no errors.

I did notice with the geabox error the cat ET software will show the following values SHIFT LEVER POSTION, DESIRED GEAR and ACUTAL GEAR. When the forklift is working well it will show the SHIFT LEVER POSITION, DESIRED GEAR and ACTUAL GEAR, for example 3R for 3 gear reverse. When it is not working it will only display the SHIFT LEVER POSITION, the important point being the DESIRED gear still stays blank indicating it is not even trying to get into gear?

Many thanks

JCB special transmission oil. ESP-M2C-33G

Hey folks, reading back from some old posts there were a lot of people wanting to know what oil to use in the jcb transmission when it calls for jcb special transmission oil (red). The spec is ESP-M2C-33G. It is Type F ATF spec'd for older fords. I found it at good ol Walmart for 3.48 a quart. Hope this clears up some confusion and helps some one in the future.:)

Is the Floating Seal of Your Motor Grader Really Useful?

Floating Seal are developed as a seal for track rollers of construction machines and mining machinery. As its name suggests, the floating seat is installed not to contact with the shaft and keeps sealing performance by the tightening force and elastic distortion of the O-ring. Therefore, floating seal is most appropriate to seal sand and dirt, and is widely used for the undercarriage of bulldozers and excavators.
Floating seal is a special form of mechanical seals. This seal consists of the O-ring or Elastomer Packing and the floating seat, made of special cast steel. The material of the floating seal is a special chrome molybdenum cast steel 15Cr3Mo. The compositions are 3.6% Carbon, 15.0% Chromium and 2.6% Molybdenum.
Characteristic:
- High hardness (70 +/- 5 HRC)
- Wear-resistant
- Abrasion-resistant
- Anti-dirty ability
- Corrosion-resistant
- Lifetime is more than 5000 hours.
- Sealing face roughness less than 0.15 micron, flatness 0.15 +/-0.05 micron
- Various size of floating seals are available from OD. 50-865 mm.
Operating Conditions:
Pressure : 4.0 MPa/cm2 (max.)
Temperature range : - 40 oC to + 100 oC
Circumferential speed : 3 m/sec (max.)
Our floating seals can be replaced for well known construction and mining machinery such as KOMATSU, CAT, Hitachi, Daewoo, Kobelco, Sumitomo and Hyundai. Some models are listed below.
- Japanese bulldozer (KOMATSU): D50, D60, D80, D85, D155, D355
- American bulldozer (CATERPILLAR): D58, D60, D7G, D8K, D9L, D10H
- German hydraulic excavator R902-R992
- American CAT hydraulic excavators

Do you know the history of rings?

Do you know O-ring? Do you know the history of rings?
O-rings are one of the most common seals used in machine design because they are inexpensive, easy to make, and reliable and have simple mounting requirements. They can seal tens of megapascals (thousands of psi) of pressure.
The first patent for the O-ring, is dated May 12, 1896 as a Swedish patent. J. O. Lundberg, the inventor of the O-ring, received the patent.[2] The US patent[3] for the O-ring was filed in 1937 by a then 72-year-old Danish-born machinist, Niels Christensen.[4] Soon after migrating to the USA in 1891, he patented an air brake system for streetcars (trams). Despite his legal efforts, his intellectual property rights were passed from company to company until they ended up at Westinghouse.[4] During World War II, the US government commandeered the O-ring patentas a critical war-related item and gave the right to manufacture to other organizations. Christensen received a lump sum payment of US$75,000 for his efforts. Litigation resulted in a $100,000 payment to his heirs in 1971, 19 years after his death

Do you really know O-ring for Dozers?

What is oring，do you really know O-ring for Dozers?
An O-ring, also known as a packing, or a toric joint, is a mechanical gasket in the shape of a torus; it is a loop of elastomer with a roundcross-section, designed to be seated in a groove and compressed during assembly between two or more parts, creating a seal at the interface.
The O-ring may be used in static applications or in dynamic applications where there is relative motion between the parts and the O-ring. Dynamic examples include rotating pump shafts and hydraulic cylinder pistons.
O-rings are one of the most common seals used in machine design because they are inexpensive, easy to make, and reliable and have simple mounting requirements. They can seal tens of megapascals (thousands of psi) of pressure.
O-rings can be produced by extrusion, injection molding, pressure molding or transfer molding.

Broken quick coupler, repair or replace?

While working on a project moving lots of boulders, the quick coupler on my JD 410G failed, see pics for the damage. It looks like a fairly complicated fabrication and welding project to repair it. New OEM is over $1,500, new aftermarket are way over a grand, I found a used one for $450 that looks like it has seen better days.

Any opinions for repair or replacement? The metal is crystallized and fatigued so the entire "hook" section must be replaced.

I'm not in a huge hurry as I installed my 24" bucket and thumb directly to the stick so I'm still in business. I just can't change buckets very easily.

Thanks in advance for any insight provided!

Wacker compactor acting weird

I have a 3545 wacker reversible gas compactor. I am having a weird problem with it. It runs great and works as normal except when you do left hand turns, it bogs the motor down. And vibration almost comes to a stop.
Going straight forward backward or turning right it works perfect.

I did drop it once perty hard.

I did take the top part of the handle apart. The piston and cylinder wall had some scoring. So I cleaned it up with some emery cloth. Re packed the piston, changed the seals and topped it up with oil. But that didn't help.

I'm not sure where to go from here.

Any ideas?

International TD14

hi,Once again i am back on this great site seeking some info...I have the chance of shortly purchasing a International TD14, looking at it with the owner he informs me it starts on petrol then turn to diesal,,is direct start, 24 volt system (2 times 12 volt batterys) ..( not sure if the 24 volt is manufacturers or not),, he says it has a siezed steering clutch, i notice the bonnet cover is nearly rusted out on one side,,, hasnt been started for many years but been in a shed for that time,,, has a cable operated blade, the wire rope looks ok ,as does the winch on the back..rear sprockets look like they are getting down a bit...didnt notice to many other negative things on the dozer, most are normal for the age,...Now my questions are, Would there still be any Bonnet covers around or maybe a metal business could make one,,, Would the siezed steering clutch be a major job, ,,Would the two 12 volt battery system be made by international...Hasnt been started for many years ,would this be a concern for any water that would of been in the radiator with regards to the engine.....(dozer has been in a shed),,,finally he wants $2000 Australian ,,which seems pretty fair to me..... thanks for any replys and maybe someone can add if there are common problems with this model dozer i should look for...

Caterpillar 315C travel levers

Working on a 315C and the travel levers are uneven. If you pull all the way back one lever goes about an inch further than the other, forward is the same, maybe not quite as bad. I've cleaned all the dirt and crud off the floor boards so that's not it. Is there an adjustment or does the travel valve need to be rebuilt?

the bottom hinge works ok i currently have the door screwed on by a plate to stabilize but not operational but window swings out normally

the pin is seize in the hinge / cant remove the door from machine / cant remove window hinge ends / looks like they broke the pivot pin and put in a threaded rod to repair / i got a welder / but is there an fix to get the door working

i was thinking getting hardware store hinge and mount it to atop broken area door to frame / weld or screw it on /but the door may not swing smooth unless i get the new hinge centered jjst right / any ideas

or a better way to go around getting a fix

its messed up that the hinges are all welded in that you cant replace or remove easy and the window share the same hinge any way i think is either or only glass or only door to be usefull

i can get plates and make the door permanant to frame or chop all the hinges off and repair with off the shelf hinges but then im stuck how to do glass ??? i need someone elses ideas



and just so happens the working door has a plexi insert for glass and the broken door has the original glass . go figure

Injector Pump question

Hello guys,
I recently posted about trying to help a friend get a 977L up and running, and people have told him there's issues with the fuel system, I haven't had a chance to diagnose it myself yet... The machine in question's engine Serial number is 3N6755 or maybe 3N67557 (hard to tell from the picture I got if there's another digit there, but if there is it could be a 7), Arrangement number 4N7373, unfortunately I don't have a serial number for the tractor itself... I've just found a guy local to where I am who is parting out a D7G and I could get the entire injector pump assembly for a good price, but I have no idea if they could be interchanged from the D7G to the 977L, and was hoping somebody could help me out. The donor machine's Serial number is 92V8462, and the engine serial number is 3N87680, arrangement # 7N1552.

Case 850 Transmission Drain

I have a nice, low hours straight 850 Case dozer. I bought it used this winter, in great shape, with new undercarriage. Just getting to know it, and going through all the PMs on it just to get them current and established.I pulled the belly pans today to find a hydraulic leak to the tilt cylinders, and have that sorted, but went to drain the transmission and maybe got 2.5 gallons out of it, when it was showing fine on the dip stick before. The manual says I should get 8 gallons out of it. Any ideas on why I'm not?

IH 3400A pressure in transmission/transaxle

Hello everybody,
I have a small amount of oil being pushed up and out of the top of my transmission. There is a pin that comes through the top of the case and a small amount of oil comes up through it. I have found what I believe is the vent/breather cap but it doesn't work as I would expect it to. This breather seems to work in the opposite direction that I would expect it to. It seems to be set up to keep the case from developing a vacuum while keeping any pressure inside. That is to say I can't blow through it, but I can fairly easily suck through it.
Is this the way it is supposed to work? is there a second breather somewhere working in the opposite direction? Can I replace this with something that breathes in both directions like a common valve cover breather?

580C Mech. Shuttle jumps out of FWD

Hello all. Haven't been on in awhile and probably have posted this issue year or more ago but cant find it. Was wondering if someone could tell me what would cause my shuttle to jump out of fwd as soon as you let clutch out. Reverse is fine. Only thing I have noticed is the linkage underneath that has the 2 ball joint ends are wore out bad. Alot of slop in linkage didn't know if that would cause this or not. Haven't taken the shuttle out of machine yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bucket Tooth Pin Fit

For those that have replaced bucket teeth, do your pins fit loose in the holes of the teeth? I have two different sets of teeth.

The second set came with the correct diameter pins but the holes in the teeth were oversize just like the first set.

CAT 225, drift or bleed down on the boom.

One issue I never could pin down on this old bird is the bleed down of the boom. It is not severe but when you are trying to precisely place or hold something, it becomes an issue. The book seems to indicate a certain amount of drift is acceptable but I am tired of it.

I have rebuilt both boom cylinders due to leaks so I know that is not it. Drift occurs with machine running or not. Looks like there is a make up and relieve valve for each side of the spool for the boom. I am not sure where this leakage commonly occurs?

It seems pretty basic but I am hoping someone does not say "your boom spool is worn out, you're hosed"

Takeuchi TL 150 fuel issues

I believe I have some fuel related issue with my takeuchi!I start it in the morning and it starts right up but dies within a few seconds.then I have to crank it a few times for many seconds,then it starts and seems to run fine with no smoke or loss of power. opening the throttle up seems to help but may be a coincedence.if I shut it down and restart right away it starts back up,but if I wait just a few minutes it`ll do the same thing,even if it ran for hours, it`ll again, run for a few seconds then dies, then crank her for a few min and runs fine. what could be wrong with this machine??I just put in new seperator filter and fuel filter with no help.it seems the fuel is leaking back maybe to the tank from one of the filters and by cranking it they get filled up again. thanks guys for any help!! tomorrow I will look to see if the seperator filter is full after it dies to see if it is empty,if this may help diagnose the issue.

Hitachi ex120 2 chattering sound possibly from high pressure bypass and low power

I have Hitachi EX 120 - 2. I have two problems.

First problem is that when you operate with heavy load there is a loud chattering sound that sounds like it's coming from either the hydraulic pump or the hydraulic manifold. The sound goes away after after a second or so. The sound will occur with any operation that has a quick response. If you load it slowly with the joystick it will not chatter. It has a new pump coupler.

The second problem is the machine when put under heavy load loses power and wants to stall with black smoke this occurs under any operation including trying to turn when traming. The power slowly dies off, black smoke comes on and it will kill the engine.
The machine was out of service for quite some time. I've changed all the filters. I also took the newly changed fuel off and check for debris. I found no debris and installed a new fuel filter. No change.

Is it possible that both problems could be connected to the differential pressure sensor? I did have a fault code 26. I check voltage at the sensor and adjusted. It will only adjust to 0.79 volts. Specification is .2 to .4 volts max 1.0 volts. The fault code went away after adjusting to .79 volts.

If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it, thanks.

New Holland LB75B Problem

I recently purchased a 2005 New Holland LB75.B. The first day I had it, the transmission/clutch disconnect buttons on the gear shift lever and the loader control lever worked fine. But at some point, both buttons stopped working even though the shuttle lever on the left of the steering column still works fine. So now in order to shift to neutral, I have to use the shuttle lever. And at some point, a noise came from under the gear shift lever area but I do not know if that noise corresponded to when the buttons stopped working. Up under the backhoe, I noticed a black and red wire that were both stripped coming from up within the cab and a black and red wire that were stripped coming from side of the transmission. It looked as if the wires had been spliced and had been pulled apart which is very possible due to the brush I was working in. From what I understand, the buttons operate a solenoid in the transmission that disconnects a hydraulic clutch. So, I checked the fuse which was fine and then butt-spliced the wires back together thinking that it would fix the problem. But the two buttons still do not work and the fuse is not blown.

I have searched all over the internet for an answer and from what I have found, nobody really knows what to do. I do not have an parts manual nor a repair manual because they are too expensive. If anybody can shed some light on how to fix or test this problem, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

John Deere 750

Local guy has a JD 750 dozer for sale that is one of the older models, all yellow - no grey on it. Has a cab. I have not gone to look at it yet but I am looking for a dozer to do some work on my 55 acres of reclaimed strip mine land. Need to build roads, repair eroded areas, push soil over acidic areas after liming. Might build a pond or two with it, push out some brush areas, level and smooth fields, push bigger boulders up in a pile to clear fields of rock - that kind of work. Richie specs showed these tractors had about a 140HP engine which should do what I want. Anybody have experience with these older 750 machines? Any particular problems I need to be aware of when looking at this machine?

CAT 225 Cracks in under carriage frame. How are they fixed?

I have a late 70s 225. I am at a point where I really need the machine for maybe 10-20hrs of use but there are several cracks in the under carriage frame. None that support the tracks, but the I beam members that connect the track carriages to the house have a few cracks in the webs.

Being in the structural design field, I fully understand the fatigue issues here but I might not have the time to devote to this right now and I don't want to do a half ass repair.

Regarding repair, that also gets a bit dicey to do right so I am curious of those that have experienced this, how was your repaired? My thoughts in mind are to chamfer out the cracks to get full penetration welds but I don't want to go nuts if some decent prep and hot welding will take care of it. I am not sure if guys are going to stick weld only on this or if MIG is common? I am most concerned with all that mass sucking the heat out so fast and making very fragile welds.

It was just a matter of time

I've often said that I find these big exhaust pipes on machines a blind spot. It's not bad if you have a camera, but if not I find it a bugger. We had a big storm yesterday, and one of the boys that plow one of the malls had to leave because he was having trouble with his blood sugar. They called me in to take his spot. Rather than grab the grader, I just took his 150 Volvo. About half an hour in, I checked the mirror saw nothing, just the exhaust pipe, backed up and bang. Checked the mirror again, just exhaust so right away I thought car! Glanced over my shoulder just in time to see the 60 foot light standard fall to the ground. Nuts!!! Glad there were no cars where it fell.

Adsorption is driven generally by the reduction in surface tension between the fluid (liquid or gas) and the solid adsorbent that results when the adsorbate molecule adheres to the surface of the adsorbent.
