Have a LX865 that I'm thinking about buying from a friend . He said it started and went about 50' and shut off . Fuel looked bad , so he pumped the tank and refilled . He had a price from the dealer of $3,000 plus , so he gave up . I cant get it to hit 1 time . Took the hose off of the intake...

I did not think it would either . A buddy bought it new and no warranty via the time .

What was even worse , was when i realized I posted in the Bobcat section , I posted in the ASV section . I thought I was posting in a General section ...I did not see a way to edit or delete the posts . The Mods took care of it though . Thanks

Hi , your post brought back many memories , some good , most bad :) . I had an Universal Uniloader , but had the Ford v-4 engine . It was my 1rst skid steer loader and got me going . I did all types of work for builders with it . I would check the varible speed pulley . If it leaks , the pulley...

With carb engines , as long as the fuel pressure does not over-ride the needle and seat , no problem . Some electric fuel pumps stop when they hit the preset pressure , some keep running though generally slower . I add an electric anytime I work on a fuel system . I add a pump bulb anytime I get...

I had a 555 New Holland do that several years ago . Turned out to be rad rags in the fuel tank .. actually about 6 . It would run fine , then die off . Previous owner etc must have lost a fuel cap and used red rags to cover . Even after taking the tank out ( what a pia ) , it did it . I fished...

I did the same thing to a vibratory roller a few years ago . Changed the hyd oil and got as much fluid out then put new hyd oil in . Added a quart of the additive Case sells ( tch ??? ) and never had any problems .

Hi , Not that the John Deere dealer is sharing . 200 hours on it . I did not think using a battery charger on boost would effect the electronics . I have sport motorcycles and have heard of frying stuff on them with a charger , but thought a piece of heavy machinery would not be as fragile .

Rodger , You were a dummy and posted in the Bobcat section ......

Hi , I have a John Deere 322 that shows a Y access code and stick out of center code and won't move or lift the bucket . The machine had sat for a long time and the battery was dead so I put a battery charger on it . I Had the battery charger on boost ( probably the cause of my problems ? ) ...

Thanks Mike . The 885 has a drive motor & " wheel cylinder " bad . Asking $4500 OBO , but seems VERY motivated to sell . He has another machine in a shop & needs to pay the bill . I agree , not worth buying for parts & not cheap enough to buy to resell . If the cylinders being rebuilt doesn't...

Hi , This is an impressive forum with very nice members . I have read thru the forum & thru all 27 pages of the NH section . I bought a 4000 hour 985 that is rough cosmetically . Runs great & seems to have been mechanically maintained . It has control board issues ( every NH I have owned has had...
