Never did find out why traction lock was engaging. I removed the locking pin and made a cover for the opening. I then put a piece of tape over the blinking indicator light on the overhead panel. I inspected the harness, replaced the seat bar sensor, cleaned and replaced all relays and fuses...

Removed the traction lock solenoid and locking pawl and made a cover to keep dirt out of the chain case. Will ohm test the solenoid to see if that was the problem. New alternator charging at about 14.5 volts.

Took machine out for a second ride and parking brake continues to engage when operating machine. With parking brake engagement no codes are left on overhead panel. Light switch is not working and I believe there may be a computer issue. Checked factory service manual and the ecm is where all...

Installed O’Reillys alternator and got 14.41 volts with engine running. Drove machine for 10 minutes and no oil light and no unexpected parking brake engagement. Had heavy rain last night so will work machine in a couple of days when things dry out. At least I got schooled on dc electrics. I...

Not yet. Once alternator is installed and charging will see if oil light goes out and parking brake stops engaging while operating machine. Being the old alternator would work intermittently caused delay in being replaced because I hadn’t seen that before. Also still have the problem of codes...

Double checked cab wiring, left control panel and fuses/relays. Removed new rebuilt alternator and carried back to Autozone which was unable to test the unit. Replacement wasn’t available until Friday. Went to O’Reillys down the street and tested both original alternator and reman from Autozone...

Factory service manual schematic is 25 amp blade fuse for alternator field circuit.

Is there a fusible link between the battery and alternator field voltage or is it fused?

Today I removed both positive and negative cables from the battery and charged the battery with a trickle charger for 4 hours. Cleaned and wire brushed the terminals. Built up the positive terminal with rosin core solder and replaced the negative terminal. Battery voltage at rest was 12.58...

It is my understanding that modern alternators are internally regulated. The machine uses the 90amp alternator with the red positive attached to the output terminal, a black ground attached to the alternator frame and a 2 wire plug which is the exciter for the field. Where does the exciter...

Ok, the factory manual has the procedure for testing the alternator. Monitoring the the field energizing voltage sounds good. What field energizing voltage is within specifications? I’ve looked at the cab wiring but will check again. Is there a diagram showing where the grounds are? It’s a 753G.

That’s what I’m thinking too. Rebuilt alternator from Autozone. Showed about 14.5 volts after installation. Does the computer control alternator output? I’m getting the oil pressure light and the front and rear lights aren’t working. Also no codes when pushing the light switch but the glow plug...

Replaced the rpm sensor, removed manual oil pressure gauge and reconnected oil pressure sensor. Took machine out to work and problems returned. Parking brake engages while working and oil light comes on. Put machine back in shop and started going over factory service manual. Checked belt tension...

Bought the factory service manual. Could oil light could be high oil pressure? Manual says could be too high viscosity or pressure relief stuck closed. Changed oil/filter using Shell Rotella 15w40. While oil filter was off checked pressure relief valve and ball moved easily against spring...

Turn key to on position, get three beeps and glow plug timer starts countdown. When countdown is complete press light switch for two seconds to retrieve code. No codes on display but glow plug timer starts again. Start machine and oil light is on even though recent oil/filter Chang. Manual oil...
