Update 4/30 : Thanks to all for ideas and insight. I apologize as this machine is new to me with No History known, so Im going to try to give the following update. 1. We had to remove the starter and have the solenoid replaced. This seemed to solve the issue and was not a fuse. 2. We Removed...

Update 4/24, We have removed and blocked off the EGR/ heat exchanger ports, But have found that not to be the problem? Today after changng the filter and adding new oil to the motor it was cranked and running smoothly. In the Ten minits it was run we kept pulling the dipstick and saw the...

After load testing battery, then replacing battery cables, I believe I have a starter issue. Can anyone please tell me the best way to get at it and remove it? We have looked and debated this afternoon,even called around for advice, but we see there is little space to work with. maybe the wise...

EGR/Cooler 4/17 update. After thinking last night about the 2 ports on the EGR/Cooler that I looped together i realized that that would not isolate the water/coolant from the EGR/Cooler. This morning I took hose and clamps, and inserted bolts in one end then hose clamped the bolts. I then slid...

Thank you for helping. I think you are close to the problem. I have been told that the EGR/Cooler can go bad an it will mix the coolant(water) with the motor oil? What would be helpful now would be to know the flow direction of the large hoses on the EGR/Cooler. I have looped them but have...

Update and 4/15 Question. To simplify my presvious post of 4/15 I simply did the following. I loopedthe hoses cominf from down side the block, Than I looped the two ports together. Im not sure this is right because one of the two port loop has water coming from it when I filled the...

UpDate 4/15 EGR/ cooler isolation. Today I connected a second hose between the 2 ports that were open. These 2 ports were open because I had previously taken off the two hoses coming to the ports and joined then together to make a closed loop. Today I pressured the radiater and was able to put...

Thank you, Granted the ordinary pressure test would work but because of the compactness of a skid steer I was trying to avoid that. If I isolated the EGR/Cooler by connecting two hoses together and then plugged to ports they came off of then should I Not be able to pressuize the radiater and...

Thank you in advance! I am totally cluless about this part of a engine. I understand that removing the EGR/cooler and installing ablocking plate would shurely make it to where the radiater could be pressurized thus checking for head gasket or below problem. I must ask though, If i were to plug...

Please instruct how to isolate the EGR/intercooler so radiater can be pressured to check for head gasket/ block problem?

Yesterday tried to bypass the EGR/cooler and was unsucessful. I did connect the two hoses coming from downward the engine block on the side. I then filled the rediater with water and tried to pressure the system. The problem I ran into was water from the radiater exited the EGR/cooler where one...

Much thanks for the advice. Today I took a better look at the EGR Cooler and noticed in stead of two there are actually 3 hoses maybe 3/4 in diameter, In addition there is a smaller hose maybe 1/4 inch running over to the upper radiater hose. I did not see any electrical hookups. Does anyone...

FOTON you were spot on. The Negative terminal and wire to it was corroded on the inside. Whenm trying to remove to clean it seperated from the terminal. Next day I hooked jumper cables to connect the battery to the machine. The electric stuff came back on although I didnt try to crank the machne.

Another Question, I was told today that I could take the two hoses that go into the heat exchanger/Egr and splice them together thus bypassing the heat exchanger/egr. Can anyone verify this. My thinking is that if this works at least for temporarily I could then refill the motor with oil and if...

UPDATE # 2, Today solved I think the electrical issue. mrbb was insightful, While trying to clean battery Terminals I moved the Negative ground wire and it came apart at the terminal. It looked good from where I was looking but was not giving a good ground because of corrosion internally...
