I am not totally familiar with the model 250 you have...I have a CT322 that is roughly the same age as your machine. Does your machine have a pull lever in about the same location as a hood release would be if you were sitting in the cab of a pickup truck? If so, my only suggestion would be to...

I bought a used Mustang 1750RT at a Ritchie Bros auction. It came with no manuals. It has auxilary hydraulics that operate the grapple bucket with a switch on one of the joysticks and that works fine. There are actually three aux. hyd. lines with quick connects. I do not know what the third...

I have just bought a 2016 Mustang 1750RT NXT2. It came from an auction and only came with one ignition key. There are locks on what I am going to call three "compartments" at the back end of the machine...two in the left side rear frame upright, one in the right side frame upright, and then...

Thanks for following up with the actual cause of the problem. That is very helpful to store away for future reference.

Deere CT 322. I think it is a 2008 model...but don't know how to determine that for sure.

At the flywheel end of the valve cover, there is a line that I assume is a fuel line that entering the valve cover, but there is nothing I can see that I would even think is a check valve and nothing that looks like it might be pinched off as a previous person suggested to check the integrity of...

One check question...which end of the head is referred to as the back? The end hardest to get to...meaning right behind the seat or at the back end of the motor closest to the back end of the machine? Sorry if this seems stupid...but I am totally new to diesel engines.

Well the problem went away for several months but reared its head again on Saturday, April 25, 2015 I am confident I am getting fuel to the main filter. I put my wife in the seat and had her try to start it while I pumped on the hand primer button. There was a small amount of white smoke coming...

The the person that sent me the link in the email "this is your solenoid" all that loads is a blank JD parts page. I don't know where this piece is located on the engine. Also, I have read that one of the fitting might have a check valve in it. If so, how do I find it? In the tech manual that...

On mine, the bleeder valve is actually on the side of the housing. The top has a black knob to push down on to pump up the pressure. And yes I closed both the side bleeder as well as the water drain valve on the bottom of the same filter tightly each time after opening. The total mystery to me...

I haven't noticed any smoke at all. One time I sprayed some starting fluid in the air cleaner housing. It acted interested...but did not take the bait and run. Most likely the issue is something simple...it is just finding it. I am still totally open to suggestions.

I can not find in any of the literature that I own any reference to a fuel solenoid. Does the machine have any type of device that is electrically controlled that determines whether or not fuel is going to be available or not? One day I worked and worked to ever get it running and have no idea...

My skid steer is displaying these codes... F9H8 F9P8 F985 I have the operator's manual and the service manual and can't find a list of codes in either one. I do know that at times I am having trouble with the foot controls, particularly after having operated the machine for at least an hour...

I have bought a used Deere CT322 with the foot controls for the bucket. Yesterday there were a few times when the parking break switch was released that the foot controls were dead for just a moment and then began working. At the end of the day, I needed to exit the machine to hand load some...
