The stripped out torx head screws are in there tight. I guess I'll give the chisel a try. I can't believe they design a the skid steer so that you have to yank the motor replace a fuel pump. I even try to remove the fuel tank, and it also looks like it is tucked partially under the motor. Thank...

Help, I have narrowed my 240 down to the fuel shutoff solenoid. The bolts on top are some torx 5 points which the heads are completely stripped out, so I am trying like hell to get the Stanadyke pump remove so as to replace it with a rebuild. It has 3 bolts that mount the pump to the block, the...

Thanks Ken, already have a manual, this problems driving me nuts. It appears like a brake problem because the wheels moves about 1/4 inch before locking up in forward only. HELP

Also has anybody tried building a remote starter box for one of this machines?

I've recently had my brakes rebuilt and have gotten about an hour of use out of my 240. Both sides function properly in reverse, but when I try to go forward the left side locks up on me immediately. I have the tires off the ground and the right side functions properly in both directions. Not...

Or is possible for the axle housings to have collected water?

Is it possible for moisture to build up between the cover plate and the brake housing of the brake assembly?

Had chance to see if the wheel would move yesterday, seeing it chilled up outdoors again. Still wheels freezon up. Only able to rock it slightly back and forth. Feels like the brakes, but as l mention before my liners are worn. When I finally do brake it loose the parking brake does little to...

Finally Replace the chain case oil this weekend, but it hasn't gotten frigid in the last several days. The case oil appeared fairly clear. So not quit sure if that was the problem yet. I will no better when we get some more difficult weather.

Your right the Lamp was worthless, I need something a little stronger. I will try to rock it lose in a few days and park it in the garage for a day, and then drain and replace the oil. probably never been done on the cases. I purchased it in Memphis a couple of years ago, and hauled it back to...

The scenario you have described sound very reasonable, because as i mention before, my liners are on the worn side. I will stick a halogen trouble lamp under one of the chain cases and see if this frees up one side, if so I guess its time for some new case oil.

Yes motor labours, and starts to stall, if I keep on the controls.

It won't move in forward or reverse on ether side, it does however move about 1/2 inch in both directions and that about it.

The brake liners are worn, park does not hold on inclines more then about 5 degree slopes. I do have a manual, but still little confused. Is in necessary to use different hydraulic oils in winter, the boom seem to work fine.

Only when it cold as hell things decide not to workie. Starts fine after plugged in for a spell, but the wheel will not budge. Is as if the brake were engaged, but this is not the case because my pads are worn to a bare min.. The hydraulics seem to work fine except for moving the beast. I acts...
