I have a similar issue with the oil pressure light on this ASV cluster. Sometimes the oil pressure light comes on very dim, or sometimes bright, then fades to dim or is off completely. This does not make any sense to me because an oil pressure sensor has two positions ON or OFF. So why the dim...

I do have that bracket, but I think it is in my best interest to keep it should I decide to sell the backhoe. Anyone buying it for a Cat machine would need it, and as you mentioned they are difficult to find. Sorry but I think I should hold on to it.

Thank you for the offer, kind words and sharing your level of expertise. I really appreciate it. I grew up in Central PA, but life moved me up north. Yeah, would have been so much better to repair it, but like you said, it is very difficult to find a good diesel mechanic let alone a specialty...

Curtis Gauge -Part Number: 2046-460 Many of the ASVs use this single digital display for an hour meter, fuel level, as well as a series of lights like glow plug, battery, etc.. Mine looks like it got some water into it and no longer works. I did not care about it too much in the past, but now...

It is a federal deal so they come from all over. I'm shipping my old core from NH to Oklahoma City. I guess part of it was EPA policy stating all new diesel motors must be electronically controlled. That introduced tier III engines and they ceased to make the older models. The new models will...

The shop called back and said there was coolant in the oil. The bigger mystery is they discovered a hole in the bottom of the block. They stopped at that point as rebuilding the motor is no longer an option. Has anyone heard of such a thing? They think the head gasket went first and that caused...

Thanks Taza, patiently waiting for information from the shop is causing anxiety, lol. You are probably right about the turbo. $6300 is the cheapest reman I have found, so I am a little surprised that you think that is high. Do you have any recommendations for a cheaper source? I am working with...

Thank you for the reply. I have it in the shop now and waiting for a diagnosis. The guy that looked at it said he thought the head gasket blew and it caused the radiator fluid to wash out the main bearing. He won't know for sure without doing what you suggested above. So here is deal. Should I...

My ASV RC60 has been blowing white smoke for a while. I don't use it a lot, so I figure less than 100 hours. I originally suspected dirty injectors, so I ran Diesel Clean in fuel hoping to fix the problem. Well... the machine over heated. So I checked the usual stuff, and found the radiator...

Additionally, could the full separator bulb, allow water to bypass the system causing my stalling problem?

I am trying to chase down a stalling problem and discovered my water separator was full of red fluid (No. 2 heating oil). I have run several tanks of diesel through the machine since I have owned it (about a year). Now I understand that No. 2 should not be the issue, however the shop manual...

I went with the Cat BH30 and of course the upper mounting bracket didn't match up. So I looked at the mounting system on the Terex Posi-tool hoe and tried to copy the brackets the best I could. I ending up making the parts with some simple inexpensive odds and ends from Tractor Supply. I used 1...

My ASV RC60 is having an issue turning right while in motion. It drives forward/backward and turns left normally. When driving if I move the stick to the 1-2 o'clock position the machine stops. While stopped, I can move the stick to the 3 o'clock position and make the right turn and then start...

Hi guys, I am new to skid steers and trying to learn as much as I can. I just bought a 2004 ASV RC60 and I am looking for a used backhoe attachment. I have been told by several people that pre 2010 Cat and ASV couplers/attach plates are the same. I have an opportunity to purchase a Cat BH30...
