Thanks much!

As the title says, this JCB will stop moving or they will work fine for a while, but hydraulics still operate. Not mine, trying to help a friend get it working. he has check all electrical connections, fuses and relays and found nothing bad. I couldn't find a JCB section to ask in so I asked...

Next step, after what cdretc said above, would be to install a manual oil pressure gauge & compare readings to specifications.

Looking for the lift arm supports for a 643 so I can safely work under the arms. Thanks!

The service manual says to lube the u-joints every 250 hours, what it does not mention is how the heck to get at them to lube them. I had the operators seat lifted up and couldn't feel any zerks much less see any. I just got this unit & want to get maintenance up to snuff. Thanks for any help...

Tony, you are funny! That slanty already has a job when needed. You must be looking for skidsteers as you seem to be up on how prices have risen on them. I gave my neighbor a grand for this beast, it's lived on starting fluid for a long time to get it running. I am hoping the glow plugs &...

I have a new to me 1984 643 and the glow plugs are bad, It seems to replace #1 glow plug one has to remove a fuel injection line, is there any way around this? Has anyone else put regular nuts on the glow plugs instead of the funky nuts KUBOTA uses for the wiring? A hex nut would seem to be...

A friend of mine bought this machine at an auction. Serial # 514011098. The machine was partially disassembled and lots of hoses were disconnected, not many were marked which is sad. He found the swing motor damaged in that the seal area both on the housing and on the drive gear damaged. He had...

Where would the load check valve be located? With in the valve body?

Could not figure how to edit my first post so, the flow figure was 9 GPM not GPH.

I'm having issues with under power situation and tilt hydraulics that kill the engine even when lightly touching the pedal. This weekend I took off the hoses going to the tilt function and put a hyd. pressure/flow check insturment on it. Pressure seems to peg around 1,500 psi. though it stalls...

I think I have water in the hydraulics of my old 530. I have changed it a few times and can not seem to get it to come out clear. It still has a slight milky look to it. I took some of the drained oil and let it sit for a few weeks to see if the water and oil would seperate and it never did. I...

Kohler K582, yes it has a governor. It just totally bogs out whether traveling or lightly using the lift or tilt functions. I'm in the process of adjusting the valves, and tune up along with the fact I have the carb off cleaning it out. Thank You!

Anyone have any ideas on this problem?
