    L553 milky hydraulic oil. How do I prevent this from happening?

    If you have hydraulic attachments you can also introduce/re-introduce the milky fluid when you use them. You’re fighting condensation no matter what. My 1992 785 takes 20 gallons. I just had the chain cases cleaned after checking for wear. The gears, chains and cases looked brand new with the...

    L785 seat switch

    I left the wiring with the diode in it in tact, and routed it up to a rocker switch on the Inst Panel. You just have to follow the start sequence “key on, switch on, seat belt buckled.” The seat switch only interfered with me starting the machine. Once I bypassed it I could start it get out and...

    Skid loader fire risk - Paranoid newbie

    Keep it clean watch for leaks. Let it cool off as mentioned, fire extinguisher is nice as is the battery shut off. Sleep easy.

    LS180 Tilt Cylinder Rebuild

    try Messicks for a rebuild kit or OEM parts#. Your Skidsteer isn’t that old not to find those numbers. Even New Holland online. They would be around $25-$35 bucks per set for a standard 3 or 4 seals here on Long Island NY. Can’t talk about prices elsewhere. Oh and those are Pre Pandemic prices...

    N H L555 boom bucket locked

    L785 1992. Very similar machine. I removed both of my switches from under the seat and just rerouted a wire to a rocker switch up on the gauge panel. You still have to follow the starting sequence key on, seat switch on, turn key to start. I am aware of the safety issue. Work smart. A fool and...

    Titan Grapple

    I bought an MTL Attatchments, Made in USA, off eBay I think, 4-5 years ago to move logs and trees for firewood. Two upper tongs bent out like candy canes, but I beat the snot out of it. And with the bent tongs I can pick up larger stumps, 30 plus inches around 6-8 feet long. Oak. so the defect...

    1991 New Holland squealing

    i I believe you are supposed to run at full throttle when in use. Something about the flow rate through the Hyd pumps I believe. I have a 785 Going on 7 years. It’s a beast and works great. My first and only. If the noise is at the end of the pump range you have reached the max output, so let...

    NH L783 looking for the hydraulic drain plug

    Mine are on the bottom of the machine. Four locations, one by each wheel. You need a half inch too 1 inch increaser socket to use on a half inch breaker bar. The plugs are recessed and the socket fits in like an Allen key. Be ready for 20 gallons to pour out of a two in hole. It's like opening...

    L785 seat switch

    I want to change out the seat on my 1992 L785 and there are no holes for the two seat switches in the new seat. My old seat base has big chunks of cushion missing and you can just pick the whole thing up off the metal frame and toss it like a frisbee. So I removed the two switches from the seat...

    L785 no go no start no fun

    ok. Loose connection at ignition module is the big problem. So now we know. Little dielectric grease and some support to get past that. Now lights go out when cranking as they should, but I lost the diesel prime. She cranks fine but no fuel to cylinder. Trying to find info on bleeding air out of...
