....Hi there For anyone keeping up on this error code saga of mine......... this code keeps popping up at random(usually occurs at low idle)(1000RPM), when I am not in the machine. A few days ago, I went to start the machine, battery voltage with the key switch on displayed about 5.8 volts, when...

...Hey T No I have not had it tipped up, but I did have all the cover plates off underneath, and cleaned out as much stuff as I could, actually all things considered, it was not as bad as I thought it would be......but on the same token, tipping it would be a good thing to do, just to avoid a...

.....Your not going to believe this.......just after posting my ERROR Code update, I went out to feed the cows.......it has been five days, the machine has ran perfect.....I warmed the engine up, idled over to open a gate, climbed out and the machine when into Code.....and then did it again...

......Update on my ERROR Code.....that loose wire must have been the problem, it has been behaving itself again......S

.....Hey there T631.....regarding a manual.....your best bet is just to contact your local Ford New Holland dealer and order one, and if you do that, for the extra money, get the service manual, I need a service manual......it does not hurt to have a parts manual too, Its nice to be able to call...

.....A fuel bulb, no I don`t have that, but I do have the electric fuel pump though(and with a electric pump, it should be rather trouble free)(but it is still a pain) I had an interesting day pertaining to my ERROR 2 code.......I think the problem might be resolved though, I spoke with a...

......And since I am on a roll here For anyone that has a heater assembly in there 865......if the fan motor quits, be prepared, New Holland would much prefer that you replace the entire heater assembly as opposed to just a fan motor, I have already had this battle, fortunately for me, I had a...

....Hi Jerry In regards to the fuel system, I think the 665 and 865 might be similar, I just don`t really care for the type of filter, it is kind of a twist on (type of thing)......and I would rather have an actual spin on(like what is on tractors etc)......it seems with ours, once I change it...

....One more quick update.....I just walked out to the shop and had a look, check both your upper and lower rad hoses for wear spots, top hose rubs on the turbo engine air intake, and the lower hose rubs on the engine block, the lower hose is the one that will sustain damage the quickest......S

....Good evening to you You know....I have been running this machine for so long now, I have never really paid attention to pedal position, but I will fool around with mine tomorrow, I don`t think I ever depress those pedals fully in either up or down position(I will check).......and for what it...

....Hi Ken....thanks for the advice on the tracks....I will certainly look into it. What I do find find quite remarkable is tire wear, our 775 weighed about 4500lbs, and had 10x16.5 tires, running on cement(albeit wet)....we could really wear out tires quick. But the 865 has 12.5x16.5...

....I am very happy to hear this happy ending too, I will also keep this fix in mind as well, since I have a 99 865 LX too. One more thing to check on your machine.....make sure that your hydraulic pressure switch, that comes off your charge pump, make sure that your sensor is not leaking, I...

..I hope that you have an injector problem too, it would certainly be the easy fix. But you did not get a bad deal on the machine, $4500 is not too steep, and since the machine only has 3000 hours, you have a some lee way to do some work, I think market value is still around $15000. Hopefully...

I just wanted to add this. In our 775, we contemplated replacing the pumps and motors, it was just such a good machine, especially with the Deutz engine, but when it was all said and done, it was going to cost about $12000.oo per side to replace everything, and the final drive chaincases were...

We use a set of metal tracks on our 865, mostly to get us through the mud of spring break up here on the farm, these tracks are metal bands(24 of them) connected with chain that is welded to the end of the band, on both sides, each band is a bit wider than 12 inches by 2.5 inches, when running...
