I am buying a LX665 that won't start and I wonder if I use a winch to load it onto my trailer will it damage any of the hydraulics?

So I bought this 943 and the bucket pins were rusted in so bad you couldn't tell they were pins. I used PB blaster and a BIG hammer for over a week. Pins would not move. I beat on the pins so much that they mushroomed on top. I was at the end of my rope and was ready to take the quick tach down...

If you have one please send me an email at [email protected]. Thanks

I got em. thanks a million fishfiles!

When you say the front of the port block, are you talking about the end towards the motor? I'm going to take that loose tomorrow and pull the valve out and clean it. If you want to send me a file, send it to [email protected] Thanks for your help and suggestions.

This is one for you experts.. This is the history of what I’ve done and tried to do. I have a 642 that had a broken input shaft into the hydraulic pump. Everything worked fine when the shaft broke. I replaced the shaft and am fairly confident that I put it together correctly. Now the machine...

I went back to ebay and tried to find the listing but they removed.

A couple of weeks ago I was watching a T190 on ebay. It went for a really low price and I believe it was due to the fact that the seller said there was no serial number data plate on it. My question is how would you know if the skidsteer was stolen or not? And how could you buy replacement parts...

I will check that as well. I do have one question about the relief valves. It won't move forward or backward, does that mean that all 4 valves might be stuck or damaged? Jack

Initially, the tires just skidded but now it rolls with very little resistance. My email address is [email protected]. I appreciate your help! - Jack

I only pushed it about 100 feet about 3 times. Do you think I could have hurt the pump just by pushing it? It worked just fine before I removed the motor. I read an old post about a brass filter that could get plugged. Do oyu think that may be the problem? Thanks for any help.

Hello everyone… I’m almost afraid to ask this question because I know I’m not going to like the answer. I have a 643 that the motor died in. I pulled the motor out to replace it with another one. I pushed the skidsteer around to the garage in back of my house and then moved it several more times...

Let me be a bit more clear. I've had it 3 years. I do not use it much, just around the small farm I own. The first year - no problems. The second year I noticed that the boom (the boom only) would raise slowly in cold weather. This year it is to the point where it won't hardly go up at all - but...

All the other hydraulics seem to work fine but when it gets below 25 degrees F the boom lifts VERY slowly. Sometimes it won't rise at all. The other day it was 30 degrees and I ran the machine for 1 hour and the boom just wouldn't lift. If it's summer time, it works fine with no problems. Any...
