Case 9040 Surge Help Please
I wanted to see if anyone could help me with my problem. I was operating the excavator today and when under a load or driving the power would drop dramatically. It would only return to full power when I had no load on the machine. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I need to do to fix this? Any help would be great!:Banghead

Need help with old Liftmoore 2700AR crane, won't rotate
We are a non-profit with a service crane mounted to load debris from abandoned house lots. We are short of cash as always, so I'm hoping we could get some help here.
The crane won't rotate, the remote seems to be working, the crane raises and lowers, the CW and CCW solinoidis are clicking but no rotation.
The hydraulic pump is working.
What should I check next?
How do I test or "jump" the hydraulic motor?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Eaton 9 speed
I have a White GMC Volvo , 93 model with 9 speed . When you put it in 2nd gear if your not careful the shifter will go to the front of the truck past the detent. Is this a major fix or the shifter worn on the bottom? I just bought this a month ago and it was not like that then. I think maybe someone forced it into gear and it went on , who knows.

Non starting issue Takecuhi TB153FR
I have a 2006 Takeuchi TB153FR that i've owned for about a year and a half. Right since I owned it it wouldn't always start, but was consistent. Would always start after sitting for the night and was usually good for 3-5 starts before you'd have to leave it sit, sometimes as little as 1 hour and it would start. At one job it wouldn't start, tipped the cab forward tapped the starter started up. Assumed it was bad starter, replaced it worked fine for a bit (however since it was good for a few starts prior and I don't use the machine a lot it's hard to judge it). Then wouldn't start at a job first thing in morning, so took it to shop. They replaced the controller, worked good for about a month until it happened again. Left it overnight and fine again and been fine for about 3 months. But i'm always worried it's not going to start. When it won't start key cycles normally, but when I go to crank nothing. Last time it happened I swapped fuses around to see if no change.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've read there is some kind of harness you can plug together under the seat to by-pass some shutdowns? Since the starter and main electrical harness has been replaced I can't there being many other options? Hate going to a job and always having to leave it run, or only turn it off sitting a certain way incase it won't start and has to sit there for the night.
Other problem is the only dealer here and who did the work was terrible, so I want to fix it myself. Took them 3 weeks to replace it, and cost me $4,000 and ontop of that charging me $500 for a day rental of one of their machines :Banghead

Cali genius (true story)
Yesterday the waste oil guy came by to pick up used oil and filters, he informs me that the State of California has mandated separation of cartridge type oil filters from spin on's to be picked up in different barrels, that the cost of picking up cartridge type filters is $260.00 per barrel and spin on's $65.00 per barrel, because the cartridge filters have absorbent material they cost more to process. Growing increasingly tired of all the regulations I fired back " Just what the hell do the policy making idiots think is in the can of a spin on ?" What a joke!

Bobcat t650 *randomly shut off and now it wont do anyhting*
Hey guys I've got a 2011 bobcat t650 that i bought brand new. it has 1200 hours on it and I've never had any problems with it at all.
I was doing some grading yesterday and i had been running it for about 2 hours, all the sudden out of no where the machine just shuts off (no bog down or anything). when i went to hit the run button on the keyless entry nothing would come on. I've tried everything and the bobcat won't do anything at all, it acts like it just completely died.
Ive tested battery,connections,fuses, and can't find any problems. Could any of y'all help me?

Low budget 80 class excavator, bobcat 442 or stick with major brands
So i have been looking for a excavator in the 16k-19k pound range for about 6-8 months now. My dad and I are going in together on the purchase so he can have an excavator on the farm and I can have one for a new house I am getting ready to build. With that being said our budget is low at around 25k-27k at the absolute max and it needs to have a hydraulic thumb or be cheap enough I can add it and stay in budget. The machine won't get more than 150-200 hours a year put on it. Mainly doing light clearing, clean up, digging ditches and maybe an occasion old farm building tear down. I have been bidding on machines at auctions and I keep seeming to miss out by a few thousand dollars. I have been looking at takeuchi and komatsu machines mostly because that is what seems to be available anywhere close to my price range. I work in the utility and grading business so I have run CAT, kubota, takeuchi machines in this size and a lot of bigger komatsu machines. I am at the point now where auctions aren't working for me because most of the machines seem to need a lot of repairs which is making me keep my max bid lower. I need to purchase something soon so I am starting to focus more on machines being sold by private parties rather than auctions. There is a 04 model bobcat 442 with hydraulic thumb with 2700 hrs for sale about three hours away that tempting, but I have never run a bobcat/Terex machine and I have heard good and bad things about them such as parts are really expensive and that the cabs are not comfortable. I am also looking at a couple of takeuchi tb175s and tb070 that are for sale online that have 5k-6k hours for roughly the same price or 2k-3k more than the bobcat. So if you guys were in my shoes would you pursue the bobcat with 2700 hrs or a takeuchi/komatsu with 5k-6k hours. I know the takeuchi and komatsus can take some high hours. I have seen plenty that have 7k-9k hours. I have never really seen many high hour bobcat 442 or terex machines. The only other thing that concerns me about the bobcat is that the owner says that the gauge reads its overheating all the time even when it has been sitting all night and you first crank it. That didn't seem like anything more than a sensor to me, but my local bobcat dealer said it could be a bad gauge cluster,wiring harness or computer. I guess I am just hesitant of the bobcat because I don't know much about it and it is not one of the major name brand machines like komatsu, takeuchi, Cat, etc. Thoughts? I am just trying to find something that I am not going to end up having to put 5k-10k dollars in for repairs just to keep using it occasionally over the next few years.

GMC topkick with Cat 3116 shuts off
My truck will run fine for a couple minutes then the power wire to the solenoid loses power. Then it will restart immediately for a couple minutes and shut off again. Truck is GMC topkick model year 1995. I was thinking maybe its a safety shutoff switch?

NH tracked skid steer strange safety & hyd solenoid malfunctions, LT185B
2006 year, 1600 hours, LT185.B New Holland. I'm second owner.
I was working on a pile of dirt and without warning or sign the boom lift stopped working and I was stuck with a load of dirt in it. All else works fine.
I removed the access panel and lifted the seat up.
Aux right hand control stick and Curl pedal are both moving in and out freely and work fine when machine is on and off. I think someone has improperly rigged / rewired the machine hydraulic controls to some extent, because shouldn't they lock when machine is off, and when seat belt is disconnected and seat is empty?
Boom lift (up & down) pedal is locked but all hardware / pedal appears fine.
All three plugs to the 3 solenoid do not have power at their plugs. Switched around the plugs, still no help or change. I don't have power on all 3 solenoid plugs. Seems like power interruption is before (as in closer to the battery) the 3 power wires separate to go to their respective solenoid plugs. Where does power for the solenoids come from? What places should I look to find interrupted / broken power? Or can a safety mechanism cause this?
I can't see the wire loom past 18" back (boom is stuck down so I can't remove side panels for better visual) and no diagrams I've found tell me either. I assume they may go to a different place than the Aux power wire goes, since they are separate wire looms? Or is it same place? Again, there is no power on all 3 of the solenoid plugs, even though the Curl and Aux solenoids seem to be working all the time, and never lock the pedal/stick, even with the loader off and key removed, seat belt off, and seat empty. I switched them around and nothing changed or improved. Made no difference so I put them back. So all 3 power wires to all 3 solenoids do not have power, yet only the vertical boom movement does not work. What is going on?
I connected a 12v jump start box to each solenoid to attempt to get them to actuate and nothing happened either. No sounds or anything. So I have no power to these 3 solenoid plugs, and no operation even if I apply power to the solenoid from a test battery.
All cab/motor compartment fuses seem to be good but I don't think any fuses relate to the hydraulic boom anyway. I checked 2 of 3 the engine compartment relays and swapped the two identical ones and nothing changed either. The third relay is twice the size of the other two and seem to be starter/ignition related because a heavy gauge red wire is connected to it, and a few others. Can the larger relay be responsible?
What and where could be interrupting the power to those solenoid plugs? Doesn't seem to be fuses or relays, unless it's the large one. Where does the power come from for the 3 solenoids? And what could interfere with the solenoids working when I supplied power from an external power source?
Would removing and inspecting the solenoids make a difference? I did not want to further disturb the solenoids until I get experienced inputs. I have pictures of all areas if anyone wants to see them. Thanks!

941 Spring Track Recoil Spring Install
Finally got around to picking up the aftermarket track recoil spring on the RH track on my 941 Loader, Ser # 80H 2988, getting it up from our local Cat dealer. After matching it up to the old spring which has a caged length of approx 23" when on the machine, as compared to 29" of free length for the new one they shipped. New one seems too long. Can anyone who has changed these out give me an idea of what the difference in length should be, unrestrained vs when it is installed? I am thinking that it should only compress just an inch or 2 when installed from it's free un-caged length & that perhaps they sent the wrong spring. I checked with the dealer & am waiting for them to get back to me.........

Reasonable life of a Cat CS - 433C vibratory compactor?
Hi, I have a Cat CS-433C compactor. I believe CS means it came with a smooth drum but it has a pad foot drum now.
It has 4600 hours. seem to run well, not blow by in the engine, just replaced some hoses. Looks like the pump and final drive may have been replaced at some point.
I know there will be repairs along the way but does anyone know what the average useful life of a machine like this would be?
10,000 hours? More? Less?

McMillen Auger
I just recently acquired a used McMillen post hole auger, what are some things that I should look at before I use it? I have one tooth on the auger that I know needs some attention. It's really loose and appears that maybe a roll pin or something is missing. There is a little dish/cup to the top of the tooth where it slides into the end of the auger but there is a bunch of dirt in there that I need to clean out so I can see how it is supposed to be secured in there. I know I read on one of the old forums on here that one should check/change the oil in the drive motor gearbox so I will do that as well. Anything else that I need to be skeptical of or check close before I use it? I have a cattle yard fence to replace and it will be about 100 post holes so I want to make sure it is good to go before I start.
Thanks

DC 95 injection pump issue
I've got a new to me New Holland DC 95, which I gather is a Case 850. Since it's got electronics for everything, I'm assuming it's like an 850K. My current issue is that it won't restart when it gets warm/hot. I can start it cold just fine. But let it run for 10-15 minutes or longer and it won't restart unless it sits for several hours. My local CNH dealer tech told me it was the fuel shutoff solenoid, which I replaced. That didn't change anything. I then started swapping relays around to see if the shutoff relay was the cause. That also produced no changes. I then pulled all the relays from the relay panel and brought them to the tech, who tested them all and did not find any bad ones with his test box. In doing some searching, I found a post that talked about injection pump issues causing hot hard or no starting. That post said to dump some cold water on the pump and it will restart. That actually worked. It fired right up after I dumped a bottle of sort of cold water on the injection pump.
So my question is what is failing in the pump? Is it something that will eventually prevent it from starting at all? What's the way to fix it?

so then I loosen the bleeders and that released the brakes
we took the line all off and the line is open and not plugged

JD410 both FEL cylinders busted. Help?
Wow, I spent all day hunting down the crazy fitting, then wrestled to get it on. Then, the tire wouldn't hold air, and I noticed that it was a loose valve. So, I went and bought a valve stem wrench and it stopped leaking. Also, put a bolt and nut in the lock for the bucket and I've gotten a lot donee in the few hours I've had a working hoe.
Then, I was pushing a piece of concrete slab about 3' square and 5" thick. I bent the bucket over forward, and put it in front of it and drove forward.
All of a sudden, I heard a loud POP, and the four bolts on both cylinder caps busted off and the cylinder pushed through.
I lifted the arm, got to the level, and pushed the caps back in. Maybe I can just replace the 8 bolts...
But they weren't all the way in, so I gently set the bucket down, and reversed to gently apply a little pressure to push them in,
Both chrome cylinders snapped in half and fell to the ground.
I must not live right.
What do I do? Do I buy new replacement cylinder rods and rebuild kits? Do I get whole cylinders out of a junk yard (I heard there was one about an hour away.)
I'm more broken hearted than anything. I was really looking forward to this rare good weather to get this done, and I'm down for the count for probably a week, if not more. Any help (and encouragement!) you can offer..?
I mean, I didn't think I was even being rough on it. Did I just make a horrible decision buying an old machine and I should only use it to load plastic balls into bouncy house?
Thanks.

Cat CS-433C roller. gear oil 75wt, will 80-90 work?
Hey I just bought a Cat CS-433C vibratory roller. The drum was swapped for a padfoot at some point in case that's relevant info.
I'm going through the manual and I see the hubs drum etc call for 75wt oil. Could I just use 80-90 in it? It seems reasonable and I'm in South Texas it never freezes here.
Your thoughts?
Other things to check for on these machines?

Setting a fair rental price (establishing operating cost per hour.
Hey everyone, I'm a new guy so please let me know if I'm not posting in the best place or something. I recently purchased a Cat CS-433C compactor which I will use on a few construction projects I have going. I also have a friend that does work with a grader and needs a machine like this from time to time. So I want to figure out what a fair rental price is for this machine.
I figure he can rent one from the local place for 3500 per month. if you figure that gives you 40 hours a week for 4 weeks then you have 160 hours on the machine.
So if you take 3500 / by 160 that's $21.875 per hour. I supposed he would get a slightly newer machine at the rental place since mine is a 97 model with 4600 hours on it. so I figure I'll let him use it and just charge him based on the hour meter at like $20 per hour. He would also be responsible for all the fuel and tires, abuse etc. just like a rental.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Genie GS3268
Hello... I'm new to the forums and am hoping someone here is familiar with Genie lifts. I am working on a gas powered 4x4 lift. Two of the wheels are not driving. I have checked the main pump, some of the solenoid valves, electrical all seems good, have had the drive motors apart...seem ok. Have done the pressure tests on the two test ports one is fine the other is low, but can't figure out why. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

2847QT Bushhog frontend loader problems
I have a New Holland 7740 with a Bushhog 2847QT front end loader attached. It's been a big help for about 8 years. A while back the single joystick control started getting stiff, but, would still work. Then the bucket stopped responding which led to trouble shooting. :(
One of the cables, that runs between the joystick control and the Walvoil valve assembly, had snapped and it has been replaced. After quite a bit of tinkering with the various mechanical adjustments of the cables, (at the joystick and valve), the loader worked good as new, maybe even a little easier and smoother. But, only for one day. I used it pretty steady for about 6 hours and all was good. The next day the loader would not respond. Possibly tried to move slightly (maybe I imagined it) and the lines might have twitched a little (maybe). :beatsme
I have looked for instructions/tips on cable adjustments and any other info that might help, but, can't seem to locate anything. If anyone is familiar with this setup, I would appreciate some direction towards a solution.

Brakes vs Hydrostatic Forward/Reverse for Stopping
Do guys generally use reverse to slow/stop heavy equipment.
I have an 1987 New Holland LB620 backhoe/loadersmall. It's a small 7,000lb articulating unit. There is one large disc brake and one small caliper which is manually engaged when I press the brake. The pads are pretty much metal to metal at this point. The pads are no longer manufactured. I could possibly find someone to reline them but I'm not sure how much this brake really does anyway.
Will I even notice much difference braking on hills with this small pad relined? I'm not sure it's worth having it relined. Any thougths? Thanks

John Deere 330 CLC excavators
Hello All,
I appreciate your help trying to figure problems with a John deere 330 clc excavators. It is having difficulties starting. If we spray a little Ether the machine turns over but dies immediately. It also blows some white smoke. Right before this issue we had to clean the engine because it developed thick black oil. Prior to that it had an oil change and we used new oil and filter about two weeks ago but for some reason the machine burns the oil and it gets very thick and black. Can you please give suggestion as to what might cause problem? Thanks

What difference does power make
Hi.
I am after a skid steer to mainly level off some farm roads, dig out a few blackberry bushes and general clean up work.
Assuming 2 machines weigh almost the same what difference would 37kw (47hp) make compared to 47kw (63hp).
Is a 37kw machine capable of digging out ground with a toothed bucket or does the additional power make a huge difference?
Thanks in advance.

Caterpillar D398 Questions
lundi 27 juin 2016
Hey All,
I bought a generator- a 500KW Cat D398 that was converted to Natural Gas. Because of the absurdly low price, I bought it without knowing if it ran. It's now time to test it. I have two questions:
1: I need to figure out what batteries I need to turn this sucker over. I haven't been able to find any information on what voltage and cranking amps I need for this motor. It has two rather large starters, and i haven't found info plates on them. Anyone know the volts/amps I need? As best I can tell, it's a 48.3L twin turbo V12 with 10.0:1 compression. CAT/Holt was unable to find any info on the batteries for me.
2: The generator head has had all of the control circuitry removed. There are three large bars coming from the head (480V 3Phase head), connected to the windings, but nothing else. The voltage regulator was removed, and I'm wondering if it's safe to start in this condition? My concern is that it will arc or otherwise damage itself without the regulator. Anyone know if it's safe to start as is?
Thanks,
Dan

Slope meter setup
So I have had a mechanical slope meter on two different production class graders. The one on my 730 A was close to being deadly accurate. I used to park her on the scales, set it to zero, drive off, turn around, drive back on and it would still read zero. Out in the field I would get the tec to shoot the tops of the center of each chain case, and figure out the crossfall and he would get the same result. My 940 Volvo is always off by about a half a percent when you swing around. They bought one for my Maulden maintainer. Now the maintainers are a four wheel rigid frame, and a lot shorter than their big cousins. I realize that these meters read your back wheels, and not your blade, and are really only good if you stop for a second. I have tried all of the above, and there is no way in hell that I can set that damn thing in this grader. Zero on the scales is fine, but if you do a 2% cross fall, mark your hind wheels, turn around and park your rear wheels on the same mark it will read 9%. Thoughts.... I've always gotten along without them, but they want me to have it. I'm thinking black tape cover the numbers that slope meter you wanted me to use????? Sure.....works great....

DEF D'oh
Tractor man with a lot of years on the tiller, started off running a cable hoist tractor.... Dumped 2 jugs of Def into the hydraulic tank on a new D4k, new enough that this was the first time it was added since she came from the dealer. Ran it for about 20 min before the computer shut him down. The Cat man flushed the system 4 times. Turned the fluid a lovely shade of pink. No marking on the hydraulic fill neck, and no one came to do a walkthrough of the machine with the operator. Surprisingly enough, Cat is coming good for the bill.

Bobcat E50
Hello all,
Purchased a Bobcat E50 this spring and just finished the 50 Hours service. Everything went well but the last time I ran the machine I noticed fluid build up around the radiator cores. Upon close inspection I concluded fluid was coming from the Hydro res breather cap. The fluid level seems to be in the correct level using the manuals procedure. I did notice that after running the machine for a while and loosening the breather cap the tank seems to have a lot of pressure built up. Not sure if this is normal or maybe the replacement breather cap is defective.
Any help would be appreciated

2008 John Deere 310SJ broken window
Hello,
First time posting here. I have a 2008 John Deere 310SJ with a broken upper rear window. I was using the backhoe the other day and I started to slide the rear window down and it completely shattered into to pieces. I'm getting ready to order a replacement window and I'm installing it myself. I'm not sure how to install it and was hoping to get some help. Has anyone ever replaced the upper rear window before? Can you walk me through the process? Are there any tips or tricks I should know?
Thanks!

Bad Rod Bearing
Figured I start a new thread.
The JD 210LE I "Scored" on turns out it has a bad #2 rod bearing. We thought and hoped it might be a fuel/injector problem because of the KNOCK, but alas...my worst fears were realized...bad rod bearing.
Got the rod end off and the dang bearing was nearly welded to the crank throw...the throw is not too bad, not particularly scored. The throw measured 3.128" in the center to 3.132 on the outside edge. Rather than a new engine what do you thing about polishing with emery and installing a new bearing and gamble on it? Anyone ever done that?
What is the stock throw diameter to figure what oversize bearing (if needed) would I order...AND...can you get ONE bearing and not buy an entire low end kit>

What is this valve for on the 740A?
We are wondering what this valve is for on the RH side of the 740 A Grader that we just purchased? It has a wire running to it, so must have a solenoid valve built in to divert oil elsewhere? Wire is off now.....
We used the machine to grade a parking lot that we have that is a couple of acres in size & so far it does the job for us.

CAT 279C Gremlin
Looking for any advice...
2009 CAT 279C...everything has been working great. Start it up yesterday, move about 25 ft and I lose all bucket controls on the right joystick...no up/down, no tilt/curl. Nothing I could do got it to work...so I had to use the emergency hydraulic release to lower the bucket so I could get out. Inspected everything and there are no leaks, no electrical issues that I can see (frayed/broken wires), all fuses are good. Today I go out and try again and same thing, but now when I start it up, the controls work for 3-8 seconds and then die. If I shut the machine off and restart it, they come right back for another few seconds and die. I am getting no idiot lights or alarms...
Any advice? I don't even know where to start.
Thank you!

Weak Final Drives
https://www.youtube.com/********=aTSoAJPjGC0
There can be quite a few reasons why the final drive motor seems weak or even locked up, and not all of them are the fault of your final drive. Sometimes the problem lies elsewhere -- even if there is damage to your final drive it could be caused by failure somewhere else in the system. In this post, we are going to look at what you need to check in order to find out why your final drive or travel motor seems to be weak.
Tracks: The tightness and condition of the tracks can also impact the behavior of your final drive or travel motor. If the tracks are too tight, this causes high friction which can impede the torque generated by the travel motor. If the tracks aren’t too tight, then check that the track, track idlers, and track rollers are in good shape.
Case Drain Filter: A blockage due to a nasty case drain filter will cause a build-up of pressure in the case drain line, which can cause some major problems. Check the case drain filter to see if it might need to be cleaned or replaced.
Hydraulics System: The problem might lie in the hydraulics system. One of the first things you can check is whether or not there is sufficient oil in the hydraulic oil tank. Also, check the charge pump pressure at the travel drive to make sure the machine is providing the correct oil pressure and flow to the travel drives. If the hydraulic oil is low or if there isn't enough pressure at the travel drive, your travel motor won't have enough torque and power.

How do I best proficiently use tractor to best lower grade and move dirt?
I have been loaned an 8N Ford tractor to do some work on a piece of property I bought last year. I'll have constant access to it over the next 3 weeks or so. I know a little 8N tractor isn't considered heavy equipment, but thought this may be the best place to ask.
I have a clearing about 190 deep by probably 65 feet wide. Looking south to north there is a hump on the West side of the clearing. It's like two rectangles side by side but one is taller. So the West hald of the clearing is 2ft higher in the highest point. The back of the hump is sloped down perfectly. So I really just need to work from the mid section forward and shave dirt off and move that dirt to the lower half of the clearing.
I have a 5ft disc and a straight blade. The clearing is full of small debri and rocks. Just half buried trash and stuff. So my plan is to disc a little to loosen up the dirt, then use the blade to drag that loose dirt and separate the debris and then move that dirt onto my low side. I do no have a rock rake sadly.
I'm a total beginner at this and I noticed how I'm not very effecient. There has to be little tricks to make sure I work smarter and do more in less steps. (It is just a straight blade no a box.) I was hoping some kind people could point out these tricks.

IH3400A hydraulic hose length
I have an IH3400A and I am looking at replacing a couple hydraulic hoses. The hose in my hand seems like it is too long for its job and is rubbing against the spline block. The hose that is to the far right of this long hose goes to the same ram via the same route. Is it likely that this long house is just a poorly chosen replacement? Should I make my replacement closer in length to the shorter hose or would their be a reason for this seemingly pointless extra long hose?

ecavator undercarriage question
I am looking at possibly buying a komatsu pc78 at an auction soon. The one I am looking at has steel tracks with street pads. The pads are in really good shape and don't look to be that old, but the chains are toast. There is actually wear holes in some of the links at the pins. So I know for sure that it needs chains and sprockets. I am not very experienced at undercarriage evaluations, but the rollers and idlers looked to be in pretty decent shape no real noticeable major wear. I am buying this as a farm machine that will only see 150-200 hours a year tops. Is it possible that I can get by with just the chains and sprockets or is it more likely that the whole undercarriage will need to be replaced. I am hoping I can get by with just chains and sprockets because the idlers and rollers are going to be another $2500-$3000. the machine has 5500 hours on it.

CAT 301.8C Engine/Fuel Shut-off Soleniod
I have replaced a burned up solenoid for the engine/fuel shut off and the relay for the circuit. However, the line remains hot even after the key is removed. I do not have a wire diagram for this unit. I have also recently replaced the ignition switch. I have checked fuses. The only thing that kills power to the solenoid is for me to remove the relay from the fuse panel.
I figure there is something I am missing within the circuit, but the diagram I have for a larger piece of equipment does not show anything thing between the relay and the solenoid. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Komatsu GD825 thoughts.
I used the search option with no success. Hope not a repeat thread.
Looking for a large grader. Will be either Cat 16H or a Komatsu GD825. Plenty of Cats around, not many Komatsu. (IN AUS).
Iam familiar with the 140H & 140VHP, so Iam guessing the 16H is no different for reliability and durability. Please elaborate if you want.
Iam leaning more towards the Komatsu but I know nothing about them. There's a couple of dash 2 around. They are cheaper than the CATS of similar vintage.
Just doing private farm work. Large channels, drains and roads etc. Nothing fancy, just simple stuff.
So what's the pros and cons of a Komatsu please.
Cat or Komatsu?
Simple one word answer please. No brand wars thanks.

Ramps or not?
I'm new to earthwork, with a new-to-me ancient crawler tractor/dozer, trying to understand about loading ramps. Can anyone help with some questions? Are steel tracks safe on steel ramps, or will they just skid? If OK, do the ramps need to be wider than the tracks, so that the tracks run only on the rungs, or is it OK for the tracks to run on the ramp stringers (I'm guessing that running on the stringers will make skidding more likely, but maybe not)? Is there anything I could put on the ramps (conveyor belt, maybe, or boards) that would reduce skidding risk?
The ramps I'm looking at are 8' long, and I'd probably be loading up to about 2'6" height, so the slopes wouldn't be that fierce. I might have to load/unload in the wet sometimes, but snow/ice are rare enough here I could just wait till they melt.
Thanks in advance for any comments

The world I live in is gravel. Stones range from the soil at my home where average stone size is three feet diameter with some ten footers. Elsewhere, rocks might be 2 feet as the largest, ranging all the way down.
To smooth out soil whether driveway or other, it is necessary to remove the stones from top layer so the dozer can grade. Any stone left will make the blade will hop up, and make a pile. Stones 8" and larger can be pushed to a pile, and scooped up with a loader. Smaller ones have to be hand picked. Is there a better way? I imagine a dozer rake that will let the smalls pass through, pushing stones ahead. I hate to buy, or build if it won't work.
What do you think?

Cat Grader serial number?
G'day Fellas
We have a Cat 12 grader here serial number 17K492, and I was wondering if that was the right number to determine if the engine is a D333 or an early 3306.
Thankyou for any help.
Mike.

Cat 416B Blowing Fuses when engaging 4 wheel drive...
We noticed smoke coming from instrument panel. Behind the panel we saw the plug had minor damage to the wires that controlled the 4 wheel drive. The fuse box got so hot the fuse melted; we changed the wires to another panel in the fuse box and disabled the melted one. We repaired the wires at the plug. The wire near the transfer case were also checked for damage and repaired, but it still is blowing the 10A fuse. Any suggestions from here? Thanks...boomer577557

D5C universal joint, transmission seal and final drive seal questions
I have a D5C LGP series III
SN 6ZL00259
I am replacing the spider gears (universal joints) and the transmission seals and real drive seals. these are both of the seals on either end of the drive shaft (universal).
I got the parts from the Cat dealer the transmission has 1 seal and the real drive side has 2 seals and 1 o-ring.
does anyone have the procedure for replacing the u joints and seals?
are there any special tools required?
is it best to assemble the block and 2 universal joints and then install the assembly?
I am concerned about getting the seals installed properly
i appreciate any help/ experience/ advice

Insley H875 track chains
I bought a 1968 Insley H875 last year. Needs new sprockets & drive chains. Does anyone know the appropriate chain size for this machine or how to figure it out? I understand I may have to build the drive sprockets up with weld instead of buying new. Also, with this have street pads/crane pads, was there ever a bushing that went into the pads before the pins? I'll get some pics of the sprockets & chains when the weather clears. Thanks.

Newbie with 2012 Bobcat T180 hydraulic and/or controller issue
Issue: the hydraulics on the lift cylinders "stutter", then "bounce" down to completely closed; all other operating features work fine. If mess around enough (try and use lift while this is happening) the hydraulic lock feature will activate and an error code will beep (sorry, don't have the code at the moment, just found out that the unit won't store it and you have to access it immediately...will get it later today). The longer you stay in this condition at some point you'll have no hydraulics to the lift cylinders.
Occurs only when: Driving side slope (+/- 30 degrees or more); with the controls in the hand/foot option; when the left side of the unit is up-slope.
If the controls are in ACS mode this does not occur.
If the right side of the unit is up-slope this does not occur (in either hand/foot or ACS mode)
Only happens on a decent slope. You can drive side slope for around 20-25 feet before the issue starts.
All fluids and filters were just changed by the rental company before purchasing including hydraulic because it had blown a main hose. They also replaced the sensor/switch in the left joystick that switches from hand/foot to ACS mode because the ACS mode would not work.

Just brought a ex200-3 the electrical system had been some what bypassed, so we are trying to restore it to the original electrical system. We install the new wiring harness inside and out, and both the computers. Now the throttle control will not responded and I am getting fault code flashing on the computers. Does anyone have a list of the fault codes or any insight on where to go next? Thanks

Terex TS14B Underpowered
I just bought my first dual engine scraper, a 1988 Terex TS14B. I think I would like it a lot more than my paddle pans, except that it's a dog. It doesnt have enough power to spin the rear wheels unless in mud, it feels like im dragging the rear end, and it's impossible to get over a half load. I'm assuming the transmissions are out of sync, but how do I check and fix this?
The rear engine blows white fuel smoke when turning over, but won't start cold without shot of starting fluid. Fires back up when warm. Worn engine or rack adjustment? Could this be why it seems underpowered? I've never done a rack adjustment, but found directions online that look pretty easy. Replaced fuel filters already.
The hydraulics are painfully slow, and I have to hit a bump sometimes to get the floor to return after unloading. Also figured out that I can't run the hydraulic tank full (top glass) or it will blow fluid out the breather when pulling any levers.
I guess there is a reason it was at the auction.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Kubota u55-4 boom articulation play/ drift issue
samedi 25 juin 2016
Hi
I purchase a new 2015 u55-4 Kubota excavator almost a year ago, when machine was delivered I unloaded it off the truck and immediately noticed major play in boom articulation ram. It was basically un operable in this state. I noticed if I articulated ram all the way to right and swung house slowly causing bucket to come against a solid object (350 hitachi/bucket) and the apply full house swing power it would stall out swing drive, but if I articulated boom all the way to right and repeated same operation it would force ram out (boom to left) with almost no resistance.
I called dealer who sent a mechanic the next day (1hr drive to city I live in) the mechanic noticed that the relief pressure valve had previously been adjusted (no paint on nut, where all other relief valves were painted and unmarked) so he adjusted to relief valve setting all the way to max (with out testing pressure) and basically solved this issue (90%). You could no longer force ram with swing drive
I said basically...... I started my first job with this excavator and still noticed that if excavator was full extended there seemed to be excess play especially if articulated to the right.
I also noticed that this ram constantly needs to be re adjusted, if I centre boom and dig for 20mins or less I will have to readjust, funny thing is that it creeps/drifts to the right (ram retracts)
I am fairly new to mini excavators but have run your standard ridgid boomed excavators for 13 years (20-45ton) has anyone noticed this in a mini before? The boom articulation is only a single ram system (unlike a backhoe which usually has 2 swing Rams) so I thought that might have some influence
I called dealer and they told me to bring it in to them when I can, as they don't cover travel costs on warranty but that I could finish my job for my client.
I put 340hrs on it and hauled it back to them. All the time thinking it was a faulty relief pressure valve.They diagnosed it as being the foot valve/operating valve, which didn't make sense to me as I had seen major correction by adjustI got relief valve. The dealer ordered a new foot valve and I hauled it home and then back for them to replace.
I have 500hrs I it now and replacing foot valve was a waste of time. They now want me to haul it back so they can inspect the ram packing. I still think it's a problem with relief valve and am guessing I'll waste more time and money hauling it back to them.
again just curious if anyone else has seen this in a mini?
I am fairly happy with the Kubota but will probably lean towards a Deere 60G for the next one as the dealer is local and more orientated towards excavators/construction equipment

**Wanted** Hollow ram cylinders, track press, boring rig, big sockets etc
Hello HEF! I'm always looking to add to my arsenal. Bossman keeps growing, buying bigger iron and expecting me to stay on top of it and avoid the Cat house at all costs. Good thing is he doesn't seem to mind when I throw down his hard earned $$ to keep up with things. The latest stuff I'm looking to add are some hollow ram cylinders, track pin press (BIG as we have a D11N, D7R, 30 ton hoe etc), pneumatic or electric hydraulic pump. Basically anything big and ugly for UC work, bushings, pins etc etc. I've even given some thought to adding a small boring setup to get my feet wet. Not many guys going that here and what I've seen done is atrocious!! I love buying stuff from the man that made his living with it. The stories that come with old tools are great and some of the guys selling their stuff seem to like a younger generation carrying the torch so to speak. Not many my age doing this work. Also, I'll take any and all 1" or 1-1/2" sockets, ratchets, T-handles alone or in sets. Thanks all!

MULCHER PROBLEM !!!! HELP !!!! Cat 289 with FAE mulcher flow problem.. maybe...
long story short... demoed a 289Cat with Cat HM315 mulcher. worked great!!! Bought used FAE UML SSL 150 (same as HM315 just older) It was setup for a 299Cat and had 1" hoses and quick connects.. replaced 1" quick connects with standard 3/4" but left 1" hoses. I also did nothing to the electrical connector for trap door. ... My question, Will a mulcher that's setup for a Cat 299 work to capacity on a 289? Something is wrong. I am bogging down in very light material. The 289 with HM315 that I demoed seemed to turn much faster with more torque. Any thoughts? thanks!

Please explain excavator specs
I am new to excavators and I been looking at a minis and I am not too sure I understand the specs and could use a bit of help?
Here is an example of one set:
I. Max Cutting Height 15.4 ft in 4700 mm
J. Max Loading Height 10.4 ft in 3180 mm
K. Max Reach Along Ground 16 ft in 4880 mm
L. Max Vertical Wall Digging Depth
What is cutting height?
The max reach along the ground - dos this mean I could roughly reach out 15' to clean out a ditch (shallow)
What is a 2' flat bottom measurement? how is that derived? (some list it some don't)
THANKS

Newbie with 1978 JD410 (Expect to see me here a lot with questions!)
I just bought a 1978 JD410. My first backhoe. I moved TWO buckets of gravel and burst a hose. Got it off with service wrenches I got at Harbor Freight, had NAPA build a new one, got it back on. That was last week. Got a few hours of heavy clay moving each day, then today, lost power digging out with the backhoe.
It's leaking profusely from either a 90 fitting or a flare fitting right at what appears to be a non-original hydraulic pump. My question is how do I get this thing off? What kind of alien wrench do I use to get in there, or do I have to disassemble half the tractor to get to it?
For context, I start with a wide angle of the tractor :

kobelco sk330lc starting problems
I recently purchased a Kobelco sk330LC-6 Ser#YC07-Q1118. Upon my arrival the machine was already started & running. Tested it out all seemed fine other than a lower rpm's upon scooping a healthy bucket up. It arrives by us and the driver shows us how to start it(which the seller didnt disclose and the reason why they had it already running) 1st thing you have to do is reach down to the bottom of the seat and pull the manual shut off knob(located right behind your right heel when sitting in seat) all the way out and hold it. Then you have to turn the key to the start position. While the engine starts cranking you have to then slowly press the manual shut off inward. When the shut off is back in about 3/4 of the way the engine starts but chugging and blowing black smoke. Then you have to turn the key to the off position and then back on in a split second of time to prevent the engine from turning off. Once you hit the key off and then quickly back on the engine then purrs like a kitten and runs fine. Except stalls(almost as if it ran out of fuel) frequently, upon a high call for power. Recently we were operating the machine and it stalled(as it has done many many times) only this time we did the whole trick to get it started as usual and it back fired when we got to the turning of the key part. Tried the whole start procedure again and it started and operated for about one minute and then stalled again. Only this time it will not start back up. We tried a quick blast of either to see if it would fire up and it did. Only wouldnt stay running. So its definately not getting fuel . We just changed the spin on filter. and since it has been down we cleaned out the filter inside the water seprator. We found a huge amount of junk in there. Put it back together, primed it and still will not fire up on its own. We are beating our head over this one :Banghead Any suggestions? We do have the service / repair manual for it

Cat 140M
Has anyone have trouble with a oil leak from the front driver wheel axle on the right hand side tandem? This 140M has 800 hrs on it.
Also the am radio has nothing but static and squeeling noise.
It has no lugging power at all, I can stall it anywere. As long as the RPM's are high its OK but once you load it up and the RPM's drop I have to shift quick or she stalls.
Instead of a M they should of named used a J (junk).

Hi, need some advice. I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew!!!
My js 130 needs a slew ring, ok so Ive undone all the bolts and thought I would be able to lift if up with chocks, jacks and its own power.......do I undo the rotator pipes and lift high enough to clear or do `i pull out the rotator, if so how. Its really heavy and I'm having trouble controlling the lift. thanks in advance if you can help ps I'm doing it on my own!

Leak at Hydraulic Pump Shaft - 510 JD Backhoe/Loader
The other day, I drove over some small trees I had pulled out to re-positioned my self while digging out a massive root ball.
![Name: IMG_6532[1].jpg Views: 1 Size: 73.9 KB](http://ift.tt/28U674G)
As I drove over them, one must have popped up and grabbed the hose running from a t-fitting to the left loader boom cylinder. I head a metallic ping and then fluid shooting out and shut down. I looked under the machine and saw the dangling hose and fitting. I had yanked part of the t-fitting loose. The two hoses that are hanging low were both pulled down.
So, I get a new t-fitting, install it and start it up to check for leaks. No leaks however, the hydraulics are now very slow. So, I investigate more to find that now the shaft appears to be leaking...
So, the question is, would one event cause the other leak?
Moments before the breaking of the t-fitting all functions were good.
For this repair I am sure I am going to need to remove the pump, which won't be fun but I am curious if anyone has run into this and/or have any advice..

Komatsu d21, Oil in clutch cavity
D21A-6, 6 way. Ok, I pulled the drain plug underneath the right steering clutch cavity and about a pint of heavy oil poured out. Someone had already pulled left plug out. left clutch slips some, right one was starting to. Question: where does this oil likely originate? A bad shaft seal, no doubt, but would it likely be on the inboard side where the bevel gears are, or on the outboard final drive side? Seems it would be easier to fix a seal on final drive side.

Help: Driveway / Basement / Leveling a hill
Getting ready to close on some acreage to build a house on and looking for some pointers on dozer operations. While I run equipment on a farm all day, I only have a couple hours on a dozer, attempting to grade a driveway. That went so-so.
In the next month, I'm going to need 500 ft of driveway cut, a 72x32 hole dug for the basement, and a small hill south of the proposed house site cut down to match the grade of the house site. Cutting the hill down is not as important as the driveway and the basement, it's just something we would like to do if we can fit it into our timeline this year. There are no trees to remove as this location is all wheat field currently. While I don't have cores of the all of the digging sites, I do know the general top soil is a clay loam and runs from 1-6 ft deep. Under that is sand.
I own a Deere 310A backhoe, and 743 and 753 bobcats and access to 2 dump trucks. I'm looking at renting either a Cat D5XL or a Deere 650K LT to do the dozer work (1 week rental / 50 hours). I know I need to stake out the house site, and then the center line of the future driveway, but after that, I'm kind of short on excavation knowledge. Where would you begin once the dozer gets delivered to the site? Drop the blade and drive up the driveway? Turn 90 to the driveway and make many short passes side to side to shove top soil off? My excavation experience pretty much stops at digging stumps and burying them. I know with the drive, I need to cut all the clay out down to the sand, and then fill with sand back to grade. If I can fit it all in, I'd like to use the sand in the hill to fill back in the driveway to minimize material cost. I can get stabilizer fill for $7.25/yard delivered, but that adds up fast if I need a lot of fill. Once driveway is close to final grade, it'll be finished with 3" stabilizer and 4" crushed gravel. These were recommendations made to me from a couple local excavators. They said that's what is common for the area.
So, where do I begin? I know I have a good sized project in front of me. I'm not scared, I just need some guidance to get going in the right direction. I've been reading everything I can find here, watching videos on youtube, talking with local guys that run equipment and gleaning any bit of knowledge I can to help myself.
In the next month, I'm going to need 500 ft of driveway cut, a 72x32 hole dug for the basement, and a small hill south of the proposed house site cut down to match the grade of the house site. Cutting the hill down is not as important as the driveway and the basement, it's just something we would like to do if we can fit it into our timeline this year. There are no trees to remove as this location is all wheat field currently. While I don't have cores of the all of the digging sites, I do know the general top soil is a clay loam and runs from 1-6 ft deep. Under that is sand.
I own a Deere 310A backhoe, and 743 and 753 bobcats and access to 2 dump trucks. I'm looking at renting either a Cat D5XL or a Deere 650K LT to do the dozer work (1 week rental / 50 hours). I know I need to stake out the house site, and then the center line of the future driveway, but after that, I'm kind of short on excavation knowledge. Where would you begin once the dozer gets delivered to the site? Drop the blade and drive up the driveway? Turn 90 to the driveway and make many short passes side to side to shove top soil off? My excavation experience pretty much stops at digging stumps and burying them. I know with the drive, I need to cut all the clay out down to the sand, and then fill with sand back to grade. If I can fit it all in, I'd like to use the sand in the hill to fill back in the driveway to minimize material cost. I can get stabilizer fill for $7.25/yard delivered, but that adds up fast if I need a lot of fill. Once driveway is close to final grade, it'll be finished with 3" stabilizer and 4" crushed gravel. These were recommendations made to me from a couple local excavators. They said that's what is common for the area.

Pick-up truck crane
I have a food trailer that is connected to the tow hitch of my Chevy Silverado.
I'm looking for a crane that is either free standing or some type of lifting equipment that will allow me to load my generator into the bed of the truck that DOES NOT attach to the hitch.
I've seen the one man ez load that attaches to the side pocket and winches it onto the ramps and into the bed. Seems like a pain in the ass, I thought you guys would have some better ideas!

Bobcat 743 valve issue.
Hi, my bucket dropped to the ground yesterday on my 1998 Bobcat 743. Upon inspection the valve stuck in that position. I tried a pry bar to move the valve but it won't move at all. What is my next option? Removing the valve bank and have a look inside ?

NH LT185.B skid steer track loader, boom vertical hydraulics stopped working
vendredi 24 juin 2016
New Holland LT185B, 2006 yr, 1600 hrs, picked up a load of top soil and I drove about 300 yards to dump it on my ditch bank and the bucket would not go up. No noise, no anything. Tilt and everything else is normal. I had only been operating it for about an hour, and lightly.
The foot pedals are free and clear of dirt under them. I have full hydraulic fluid. No breaks in the lines.
The left pedal (vertical movement) feels locked, like it does when my seat belt isn't clasped. I cycled ignition and drove the loader around and that did not help. Also there are no dummy lights on and I cycled the safety brake on/off and seat belt clasp several times too.
Has anyone an idea of what I can check next?

Oil Test Report
I have a CAT 232B2 skid steer loader & a Kubota kx141-3 excavator. I sent the engine oil of both machines to a lab for testing. The CAT skid steer oil came back all within normal limits.
However the Kubota KX141 (which has just over 2500hrs) oil test results came back with 2% water & 39ppm copper.
I phoned the oil company I purchase my oil from (& who also arranged the testing), & they said that the 39ppm copper was a concern & needed to be monitored, however the 2% water figure is normal.
2% water content in the oil seems rather high to me (the CAT had <1% water). Does anybody else here get their engine oil tested, & what are the typical copper & water values in the test results?

1996 hyundai excavator pilot control plunger problem
I have a 1996 hyundai 200 lc. The pilot plungers that control the swing are sticking down. Not all the time, but when it happens it is scary. The strange thing is that it seems to work fine when I first operate it, but then after about 15 to 30 minutes it starts acting up. Took plungers out and inspected and cleaned them, everything looked fine. I don't know if old hydraulic fluid gets tacky when it warms up or if something else is causing it. But it isn't happening on any other controls

bobcat s175 belt tensioner question
I was doing some maintence to my steer s175 today. I decided to take a look at the drive belt to the pump and when I took the cover off I found what looks to be the tensioner disk pointer in 2 pieces at the bottom of the shield/cover. I am thinking I am going to need a belt tensioner is that correct?????
I took the tensioner all the way out and the spring looks a little shiny like the pulley had rubbed on it at one time. Not sure but maybe pointer was inbetween pulley and spring and something else failed. what do you think.
Or do you recommend a rebuild kit?

Gradall hydraulic help!!
Hello everyone i have a 1999 gradall 534D-6 and im having a problem with movement power. When the machine is cold it will move but is lacking power, once it warms up the movement is restricted even more and the front tires start locking up while trying to move. Once its locked up if you jabb the brake petal a few times it will free the brakes up and start moving again but not for long an it locks up again. Some of the things ive already checked is the 4x4 solenoid /spool valve the tilt fork solenoid/spool valve. I also did some speed tests an im only getting around 10mph on blacktop. Also there is Plenty of lifting power it will lift a 4000k load of lumber to the second floor with no issues. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Getting very frustrated :Banghead

Thumb pushing bucket back Doosan DX255LC-3
Problem we are experiencing is the thumb will push the bucket back. The thumb is a CF with a mechanic coupler from Woods Equipment. It has done this from day 1.
Relief cartridges are installed, so we tested the bucket cylinder and it leaked fluid back when it should not. We had the cylinder tested by a rebuilder, they found nothing wrong but still rebuilt the cylinder to be sure. Reinstalled the cylinder and lowered the thumb pressure down to 700 psi. Now the thumb will not push the bucket back but now loosing thumb strength. According to Doosan and the thumb manufacture we should not have to do this.
Any thoughts ........................................

Track pin press vs sledge hammer
On this machine I bought Someone put all new undercarriage but left the old chains. Hasn't been too long because there is very minimal wear. I found a set of very good tracks from a dismantler. Now one guy told me you have to press the pin back in, and another told me to just heat up the bosses and start hammering.
Any input from you guys would be appreciated and what is a average cost to press pin in?

I'm looking at a 1995 John Deere 7775 with 1,600 hours. Used only for snow and horse barns.
Any known issues with this model & year? Is it smart to get a skid steer this old? The price is only average. $11,000. I'm looking to build a house and need to for putting in a long gravel driveway and moving dirt. Is 49HP large enough for these jobs?

D4 7u
Got another question for you guys I've found a mid 50s D4 that's been sitting for awhile, I have not looked at it personally just saw some pictures it looks pretty straight for the age. The problems are 1 track won't stay tight the owner thought the spring was broke but couldn't remember. If this is true how hard is it to replace? The other issue is one track was weak which I'm assuming is a steering clutch or possibly from sitting? The current owner acted like he hadn't really used it as he bought it off a neighbor I think it's been converted to direct start but am not sure. What's something like this worth? thanks guys

Licensing and Piracy
Hello everyone. I'm a new person on the forum mainly because I have a single big question related to the history of the machinery business. I'm a historian looking at machinery manufacturers in the middle of the 1900s. From the images and pamphlets I've seen, many makes produced specific machines that looked very similar- almost too similar! Does anyone know anything about piracy/copycats or perhaps legitimate licensing arrangements among manufacturers? As an example, the Huber Manufacturing Company produced tandem road rollers in the 1940s that look almost identical to those produced by Galion Iron Works. I know they were competitors, but is it common knowledge among machinery enthusiasts that companies like this shared secrets willingly, or am I right to assume piracy?

Cat 277c skid steer parking break issue, afraid I already know the answer.
I have a 2008 cat 277c skid steer. Serial JWF1478, 1400 hours. This thing was kind of handed down to me and I've used it off and on for the last 3 years. It's always had a blinking exclamation light on it for the 3 years I've used it. I read this is a level 2 code. Machine has always seemed to function normally and I've never had a way to check the code. In this time I've replaced a few hydraulic hoses, new tracks, battery, and an alternator. Done normal oil and filter changes. Other than that no real problems.
Now all of the sudden when you start it you usually can't get it out of park. The blinking warning light comes on the moment you turn the key on. Some times the light doesn't come on right away. When this happens you can take it out of park. The light always comes back on and when it does it's anyones guess when it's going to throw itself into park. Sometimes you can get it out, sometimes you have to cycle the key several times. Obvious there's something going on. Hydraulics all still work and operate when the parking break is locked in. We've bypassed the safety switches on the armrest and seat as a check. This does not fix the issue. it's my understanding also that if it was one of those safety switches the bucket wouldn't operate also. I've pulled the plug to the parking break solenoid and it's not getting voltage to it when the button is pressed. When voltage gets sent to the solenoid it shifts out of park. I'm imagining whatever code it's throwing is telling it not to shift out of park. No Cat dealers within an hour ether direction so I've tried to troubleshoot this myself. I have a buddy who is a former cat mechanic but he doesn't have a cat laptop to hookup to it and see what codes it's throwing. He did tell me the last hose I replaced is the hose to the parking break on the right side.
It did NOT do this until after I replaced the alternator. It set for about a month with the alternator out of it and when I put the new one in I instantly started having this problem. I thought just maybe it had something to do with this alternator but I stuck the old one in it just to see and it's still doing it so I'm thinking that's just a coincidence.
I'm sure I'm at a dead end without hooking a computer up to it but I have to at least ask.

1964 Dynahoe 160 / Transmission fliud question?
I have, what I was told when I bought it, a 1964 Dynahoe 160. It has the GM 3-53 diesel engine. 3 speed transmission. When checking the transmission fluid I found the cap was on the fill tube (in front of the left brake pedal) , but the stick was broke off. I then removed the drain plug from transmission where 3 to 4 gallons of a pinkish milky fluid came out . It looks like water got in there. My question is this. Without a dipstick, I don't know how much fluid to use. I found a Service Requirement Sheet for a 1968 Dynahoe 160 with the 3-53 diesel on this site. It says to use (16) quarts Mobil fluid 424. I also saw where some people were using Traveler Renew Tractor fluid. Does anyone know if this quantity and type of fluid will work in this machine. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks Ken

SOS... Lift arms will not retract from full raised position.
This is the last thing I was expecting to be a problem. Painting SkatTrak1700C. Arms without bucket in raised position with safety lock in place a little over 24 hours. Arm lowered to touch steel safety channel overnight.
Painting done and I was able to raise arm and remove safety channel. But I can't seem to lower below lock point. It will go up and down about 6 inches at top of travel.
Lock out button seems to work. Lower seat bar and press button. Forward - Reverse fine. Tilt will cycle thru full cycle.
Machine looks GREAT. It's just kind of worthless and stupid looking right now...
Any ideas or industrial strength cuss words? Thanks!!!!!!

JLG 33HA Basic: Swing Drift/Swing Break Doesn't Engage
Hi Guys. I'm troubleshooting this lift for my boss. Hydro Mech is not my area of expertise. It's an old lift, and the swing drifts a lot. It has a swing break that doesn't seem to engage under any conditions. It did engage once this morning, however, but I'm not sure what we did to make it do so and I haven't been able to make it do so again. It looks like a single caliper with two pistons that bites a rotor which is part of the swing gear assembly. The caliper appears to have one hydro line going to it.
Can someone tell me when a swing drive is supposed to engage? Is there a switch or solenoid that engages it?
JLG does not have a manual for this lift online.
Any ideas on what the possible points of failure might be?
Thanks so much,
Matt.

Cat 943 with pivot bar rotating
I have a Cat 943 that I have used in the farm for several years. It's a good machine that I've used to clear land and dig a pond. I've noticed recently that the pivot bars on both sides are rotating around with use where the access cap to add fluid will be pointed toward the ground one day and up in a different direction the next. is this something I need to get on and fix by spot welding it in the correct position, get a bushing to keep this from going on or just leave it alone. Thanks for any help.

Kobelco Leaking Bucket Cylinder
I am an operator of a Kobelco SK250 that we bought with 3,000 hrs. When we got it the bubket cylinder rod had some scars. About 500 hrs later the chrome plating had started to flake in those areas and if the excavator was parked for a couple weeks you could see oil accumulating in that area.
So during winter we took the cylinder to a repair shop where they put in a new rod plus a new seal kit. I used it for a few hrs., then the cylinder started leaking even worse. If the excavator was parked the bucket would start curling up, with the cylinder extending itself out up to 18" in a couple weeks. I also noticed the new rod now had very fine visible scratches that ran vertically every 1/2" around that you couldn't catch with your fingernail, but could sometimes very slightly feel. The repair shop took it again free of charge, found pieces of metal and stone fragments in the cylinder from poor assembly practices, put in a new seal kit, and supposedly polished the rod though I hardly noticed any difference.
Tried it out again, and it leaked exactly the same if not worse. I parked it and after 1 day you could already see oil seeping out at the seal area. I am about fed up with those guys. What is possibly wrong?
I am not in charge of carrying out major repairs on the excavator but I sure would like to have an idea what's wrong.
So during winter we took the cylinder to a repair shop where they put in a new rod plus a new seal kit. I used it for a few hrs., then the cylinder started leaking even worse.
