Will this job pay for a new 1/2 T when you take that corner and the trailer drives it into a ditch, or the lawsuit you get when you run into a buss full of nuns with that 450? The reason we try not to do dumb things is for protection of ourselves, other people, our bank accounts, our stuff...

I got a message from admin asking me to post my thoughts on this thread, so here they are: all the guys who are saying there's ice / corrosion around a solenoid / relay somewhere are probably right on. Also the folks talking about broken parking brake are also right on. Two separate issues. I...

I’ve never seen this one before. A customer called and said their 730 had died on a jobsite, and could I come have a look. I didn’t have my truck with me, so there’s not much I could do that day, but I went over anyway, just as a courtesy to them. Come to find out the engine quit with the boom...

Hi folks, I have a customer with an S750 with a broken wire at the fuel rail sensor plug. Right flush with the plug, so I can’t just splice the wire. Local dealer says my only option is to replace the whole engine harness, at about $1300, and a day or two of labor. Not the end of the world, but...

I got a call last night about an s750 not starting, and could I come check it out? I asked if it was beeping and giving a trouble code and she said she didn’t know. So I told her that normally I don’t work on EGR engines (I don’t have and don’t want to buy the software), that I normally work on...

Hello, For sale is a Mitsubishi D1800 (II) grey market compact tractor with a loader. Here is a video of it: It has a KE95 idi diesel, 22HP, I believe. Machine is located in Littleton, CO 80121, I am looking for $6000 for it. I can deliver. I might be interested in trading for other heavy...

Sorry it took so long, I got a cold or whatever that just laid me out. Anyway, I’m alive again. So a 753 is a linkage machine. I wasn’t sure when I mentioned the solenoid bit. There is a direct mechanical connection between your levers and the valving on the hydrostat. I’d start with making sure...

Assuming there are no trouble codes, and your BICS module is not showing activated ( I believe you have BICS on that machine?), I'd refer you back to what brdgbldr was talking about. If your boom is working properly, that usually means your charge pressure is ok, but never hurts to check that...

What's the engine doing while this is happening? Is it running normally, is it laboring, any indication it's fighting pressure? Does this happen from a standstill, rolling? Any difference in direction? Does it travel forward and reverse normally otherwise, even of you have to compensate? Does...

C238 is a tracked machine. Pull the cores out of the planetaries and she’ll roll on the tracks. Easy peezy.

This is my niece Ivy. Totally proud of her.

Well, I think it’s time for close this thread out. I put the 10w30 in, and quite surprisingly, the hydraulic noise really went down. Didn’t disappear altogether, but that machine obviously likes 10w30. I have to admit, I didn’t think that oil would make that much difference, but it did! I’ve...

Oh boy so close now! So a couple thoughts, if gas is dripping out, that’s a float valve problem. You might get lucky just tapping the carburetor with a screwdriver or something you can get in there. Maybe that will get the float to seat. That’s no likely, but worth a try. Otherwise that carb has...

It looks to me like the flanges are bent under the studs. You could just take them off again and straighten them with a hammer and a vice. Also, to make getting that exhaust on/off easier, drill those flanges out one size bigger. For some reason, the holes in the flanges don’t line up well, and...

Just checking in, how did it go?
