Yes that's a good idea. Nothing seems to be available on the web for the particular model. I wasn't asking for a guess. I would assume someone having done the same thing would know if they had got it right or not. Details of the alternator would have followed for a helpful owner. Thx for the...

I bought a new Lucas TVS alternator for my Lx885 which has fewer connection points than the old one. Some points are obvious some are not and would like some clarification before I fry it.

Yes, I see. I do have a portable 1 ton gantry that would straddle the machine and that could handle the cab lift and lowering. It would move forwards/backwards with the lifting/lowering. Between the two I can't see an issue?

I'm guessing that once the rear bolts are removed with the boom raised its not far off falling forwards? So the forklift would just support and lower the boom and cab rather than excert any force on it. Maybe it would need a pry bar to get it going over? So the forks would be under the...

My Reman pump arrived yesterday, just waiting for the new O rings for mounting them. I think I'll pull the seal off the old unit to see what's involved. I do have the service manual. I've seen the picture of the cab jack and the parts for the kit are listed in the parts diagrams. But I still...

Thanks again! I guessed you probably weren't as much of a lay mechanic as I am! Am I right in thinking that the pump seal kit isn't really needed unless you are dismantling the whole thing? So if I just wanted to replace the seal preemptively that's really all I need to buy? As I said I have...

Thanks for that detailed reply! Much appreciated. My machine is a 99 and in pretty good shape relatively I think. But parts do wear out. I need to check the hours it's done actually. What has you're done? Just trying to get an idea of how worn mine might be and what they are good for. My machine...

Thanks I will check that out. Been buying from Messicks so far. They are good but shipping and import charges are no joke.

I own an older New Holland machine and I'm looking for a Canadian parts supplier?

So I have removed both hydraulic servo motors and found one of them to be leaking from the shaft seal while it was just sitting on the bench. I made an inquiry for a hydraulic firm to reseal it using a kit. But all things considered it would be less costly to buy a Reman unit. Considering the...

Yes, I've seen the lower bolt location, looks tight but doable. There's a large hose connection on the RH pump close to the reservoir that looks very awkward. Did you remove anything for more access. I've been doing some prep and I took out the seat. Did you have to use any special tools...
