Hello Mr. csp. Did you get the info you needed. I own a L553 but I don't know about this ECM. I do have a wiring schematic. Thanks, Pvt. Hotdog

Mr. newhollandjohn: I now have the pictures of my park brake assembly. Please let me know. Thanks Hotdog

Mr. otis85, I went to our local NH dealer and ordered a operator and service manuals. They have updates and were very reasonable. $35 for the operator manual & $45 for the service manual. Good luck with your new equipment. Thanks, Hotdog

Mr. downrigger, You are like a timex watch, you take a lickin and keep on tickin. God Bless you Sir.Thanks, Hotdog

Mr. newhollandjohn: Which type of park brake do you have. I don't mind taking some pictures of mine for you. I will have to e-mail the pictures to you directly. I am still very computer dumb. Thanks, Hotdog

Mr. Downrigger: Did the stent work out OK? I have three. I hope all is well with you. Did you get your cylinder problem worked out? Thanks, Hotdog

Mr. irvi00: Please keep us posted on what you find. I am like you, no computers please. Being trained by my Father and the USMC, I operate using the KISS method. The up front cost of equipment is so high, it would be good to not have to go to the bank every time you need a part or repair. I have...

Hello Ya"ll: The skid steer and I have been working here on the farm lately. This little 42HP machine is pretty strong. Sunday afternoon I was cleaning up some trees (pine beetle food) from a wind storm. I started hearing a dinging sound. It took a while to locate the problem. The 1/2" rod that...

Thanks, Mr. Tazza for all of your help and Mr. Mike 10's help. Hotdog.

Hello Ya'll, I hope all is well. The belly pans are now installed. The engine compartment has been cleaned. As I was changing the fluids and filters I encountered a problem I have never seen before. The small hydro filter sealing surfaces are beveled. Out of the box the filter seal was installed...

Mr. Mike10: Mr James just e-mailed me that he was having trouble with posting on the forum. He wanted to thank you for the info. Thanks, Hotdog

Mr. James: I hope all is well with you. Several years ago, I had the same problem with another piece of equipment. I went to a machine shop with my axle and he cut a new sleeve and provided a barring to fit the sleeve. All of the work he did was much cheaper than buying new parts. Thanks, Hotdog...

OK: Now I know why there is 5" of stuff in the bottom of the engine compartment. Removing the belly pans is not to bad, heating the bent belly pan is not to bad, but drilling out the wrang off bolts is another story. I spent 6 hours working on them and only got two done and I have 5 or 6 more to...

I had a problem with my L553 starting and the lift boom was down and as Ya'll know I could not get into the engine compartment. I connected a second battery to the skid steer, depressed the up peddle and used the starter to raise the boom. It takes a while to keep the starter from getting to...

When I was in the SCANG Engineers (Heavy Equipment), we would blow out the radiator every other day. They sure get dusty. Thanks, Hotdog
