Just wondering how others deal with the R-4 tires and poor traction issues on skid steers? I have foam filled tires and I do run a set of chains but, I really don't like the tread pattern for traction. Doesn't seem to matter if you are pushing snow or in mud or even on grass these tires do not...

Any ideas as to what should be happening with the voltage? Should it drop off like that? What might be causing it if it shouldn't? Next check? Thanks Mike.

Sorry it has taken this long to get back to this. I just checked the voltage at the seat belt switch and it is 12 volts present until I turn the switch to run, then a few seconds later I hear a click (relay?) then the voltage drops off to zero. What's up with that? I haven't looked at the...

Forgot to mention also that if I jump across the seat belt switch wires the machine will start

I replaced the seat switch with the broken terminal. So this is related but different.When I first set in the seat all the panel lights light as they should and then the park brake light flashes. However, when I connect the seat belt the park brake light continues to flash. (I checked the seat...

Thanks. I think I found the number for the switch (Delta System's number). It is on the outer switch mounting plastic plate. It is a 6520 model of switch. I will check with a parts store tomorrow and see if they have anything close. If not, I will give Messicks a call. Here is a link to the...

Another thing to check is whether your steering linkage and the nuetralizer plate are in proper adjustment. Do you have a service manual?

I have a LX 665 with a broken terminal on one of the safety seat switches. I do have a service manual and a parts manual but, I cannot find those switches anywhere in the parts manual. I found the name "Delta Systems Streetsboro, OH" on the switch and found that company online but, I have no...

Thank you both. I think I got it. Had a few minutes this afternoon and even though I had cleaned the contacts, I noticed more corrosion down inside the one connector. Hard for me to see down in places like that when I have to tilt my head way back with these trifocals. Anyway, after cleaning...

I have a LX665 that has been giving me problems starting. At first I was able to unlatch and latch the seat belt a couple times and it would fire and run properly. So I believed my seat belt switch was bad. However, the seat belt switch checked with an ohm meter reads closed each time the seat...

Unfortunately mine does not have the removable belly pan (the belly pan under the engine is removable but not under the operato and pumps. Just a small plate in the center of the belly pan). I wish the whole thing was removable. It's not one of the hoses that run the boom as the can be seen by...

I have an LX 665 that has always seeped a bit of oil but the other day it was leaving a stream as I hauled some shale . Not a main hose that I can see up top but somewhere underneath. I have the seat up and the hydraulic pump exposed and can see most of the lines and such but, cannot tell where...
