Hi guys, Last fall I noticed I was having a problem making nice level cuts or digs into the ground, then this spring I was warming up the machine and playing with the bucket and noticed what was causing the problem, it seems the arms have somehow been twisted so that the bucket is higher on the...

Good morning all, Here we are almost a year later and the AHC tilt function has failed again, this time the tilt craps out after about one or two cycles of bucket dump. I'm heading out to the job site today to dig into it AGAIN.... really would like to put foot controls on this, getting pretty...

Yes I wish I could know what it was as well, but here we are several weeks later and it still is glitch free. I'll try to remember to check in again in a month or so. Cheers

I have had my 863F series machine for about 6 years, bought it with a known AHC problem which I had fixed back then, been working mostly fine with the occasional screw up, but mostly good. Then a few weeks ago it was acting up almost every morning, tilt not curling, just dump, then flashing...

Does anyone out there have a PDF of the service manual that has readable wiring diagrams, that you could extract one page from and email or PM to me? PLease and thanks. My copy doesn't have enough detail to read wire colours. Thanks

Hi guys, My 863F has been running great for a few years now but the old gremlin sticky tilt actuator has reared its ugly head again. I have searched all over and can't find the procedure for calibrating the AHC sticks. I thought it was in the SM but it's not, or, I can't find it. It involved...

SUCCESS! I took my portable scope outside and connected to the flywheel RPM sensor (2 wires only) and it generates a nice clean sine wave, at twice the RPM so there must be 2 magnets in there, it was reading 2 KHz which is twice the actual RPM of 1000, confirmed with my model airplane optical...

I want the tach so I can see what RPM I am operating, nothing to do with safety or shut down, I simply want to know. I tried connecting to the sensor wire today and the tach didn't register. I found some schematics that I can read and the RPM sensor on the bell housing goes to the BICS box, to...

Hi Tazza, Ya I hear ya, the tach I have works with pretty well all ignition type systems, points or hall sensors, and since this is a hall effect, or at least some form or magnetic pulse pickup, should work with the tach. I pulled off the gauge pod today, no red/blu wire in there, I'll try to...

Hi guys, I want to put a tachometer in my F-series 863, non BOSS, old fashioned 3 gauges type overhead console. I see the RPM tach sensor on the bell housing, and the 2 wire plug and wires going off into the engine harness....where do these wires go and is the sensor actually used without a BOSS...

Hello Fellows, Well back to trying to solve my fuel problems. Machine has been running fine for the last 6 months, yesterday it started acting up again, ran out of fuel but the tank is full, same problem as 7240. It's now stuck in a field off my driveway and I need to get it moving. I lifted the...

Hi Steve, Thanks for the help. Yes, same guy, same problem with the AHC....only tilt problems, never coded on the lift circuit, even after I swap the actuators, wiring, joysticks etc, it's always, physically the tilt valve. My thinking is that something is in there causing the spool to bind. I...
