Sounds like an electrical short. Check and make sure all of your connections are clean and tight and look for any rub throughs on the wiring harness that are causing shorts to ground.

It sounds like you have air entering the fuel system somewhere. You’ll need to check everything from the tank to the fuel pump i.e. cracked fuel line, loose connections, fuel filter, bleeder plug, etc. it could also be a crack in the fuel pickup line inside the tank.

You have to be super careful when looking at parts by serial number. There can be more than one schematic and each will have different ranges of serial numbers. Looking at the catalog with the SN 501911001 & Above, I see that there are two schematics that show two different radiators. 6571713...

We need more info. Just stops moving? Engine dies? What are you doing when it happens? Is it intermittent? Could be as simple as a wire rubbed through and is grounding out.

I can’t remember what models were involved but I have heard of this happening. There was a fuel system that was used that could not handle the slightest bit of contamination. I was told that most of the failures happened because a poor quality fuel filter was used. I’ve seen videos of...

My first guess would be a bad injector but there are several other possibilities. Black smoke is caused by unburnt fuel.

Just a shot, your brake may not be disengaging.

Before digging into any repairs give it a thorough cleaning. Degreaser is your best friend and try not to use too much pressure when cleaning since water can make its way into the wiring. Make sure to clean between the oil pan and the fuel tank. The fuel sending units are notorious for going...

You will need to start looking for any rub throughs on the wiring harness.

Thanks for posting what you found.

Check your wire harnesses for shorts.

Most quick connects are not set up to be rebuilt. They are not that expensive and pretty easy to change out if you have the correct size wrenches.

The only way I know of to make a newer machine roll is to remove the hoses from the drive motors. You have to plug/cap the hoses but not the motors. You also have to make sure not to get any dirt into the motors. The best way is to just winch it onto the trailer if you can.

If I remember correctly, there is only one relief valve. I don’t remember the orientation. In the parts catalog it is oriented on the to in the schematic which means nothing as to how it is oriented in the machine. I have not personally dealt with a bucket positioning circuit. Since the lift...

If it moves in any direction, more than spec, it’s shot.
