Left chain case gets a little extra oil so the brake release must be leaking by. Are these rebuildable? Just looking at it suggests it;s a throw-away. Found the hyd. temp. sensor, it was right where you said it would be. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply. The temp sending unit is not on either of the hydraulic filter heads. I'll get a manual and hopefully I'll be able to trace it out. I'm sure it's the brake I'm hearing. It's like it isn't fully releasing or hanging up, and it doesn't do it in warmer weather.

1) Brake locks won't release, or drag clickety-clack in cold (30°F to 45°F) weather even after the engine, and presumably the hydraulic oil, is warmed up. Any ideas? 2) Hydraulic oil temp. gauge doesn't work. Where in the world is the sending unit?

You would have to compare pin dimensions and location geometry.

My two cents worth on the cam: Depending on what you're doing, keep it in the cage and set on wide angle, and DO NOT use it to operate from. Common sense says to point it where the action is. The hydraulic dip stick goes all the way down and touches the bottom of the tank.

Don't know for sure if the 12" wheels & tires will fit. Depends on lug bolt size and circle, pilot circle, distance between tires, depth of wheel to chain case (reverse wheels maybe?), tire to frame vertical clearance.

Here is a Google search on "Diesel Bugs". They do exist and they can do a lot of expensive damage to a fuel system if not abated. They can ruin fuel injection pumps and injectors...

Um, are you asking or telling? :)

Odyknuck, I understand the logic there and it makes sense. You actually have more contact area with the worn tires too. Unfortunately I just bought a set of new tires, but kept the old ones. Now I'll be shopping for a set of wheels I guess.

Wait, you mean TIP bucket or RAISE bucket?

"set foot control to float position and raise bucket" You lost me there. I can't raise my bucket when it's in float. Sounds like a sticking spool solenoid now. Is all the linkage tight / snug, no play?

Sounds like you may be low on hydraulic oil, it's extremely aerated, or there is a flow problem. Changed the filters lately?

Tires are cheap and not a deal-breaker. I just re-booted mine. $534.00 including tax & mounting.

Agreed. I think the price is a little steep. I paid that for my 2000 2040 with less than 1,000 hrs. I think there comes a point where the hours don't really matter, just if you can get parts anymore.
