    electric cooling fan

    Electric fan will work fine but needs to be as large as the Rad can accept and mounted directly to the Rad. Most electric fans and all I have delt with have their shrounds built to the fan. My New Holland skids have temp sensors for the Hyd oil that rarely if ever read over 150F. The temp...

    New Holland LX565 fuel tank removal

    You have to pull the belly pan and remove the hose that connects the front section to the rear section. There will be a bolt in the front and one in the back if I remember right and then it kind of tilts out the botttom so you will need some clearance underneath the machine. I will check the...

    Skid Steer loader Massey Fergusson problems....

    Centering mechanism is way out of spec or missing pieces. The sticks should have some sort of spring loaded device that centers them so the machine wont move. When you throttle up the hydros are self centering because of the unequal load on the swash plate. I wish I had a manual or experience...

    LX665 RePower with Isuzu Thermoking Diesel writeup

    If it were mine I would tear it down and see what actually seized. If it appears to be repairable I would give it a try. Now here is my experience. I have been through turbos before and my success rate is just over 50% for reliable service. They are a very complicated although simple device...

    Need opinion on my first machine purchase

    Crude meanig they are no frills just function. Cabs are not luxurious and controls are not feathery smooth but they are work horses that can survive little or no maintenance.
