Those readings look fishy too me. It should be a span from low res to high res........Yours at mid range look off. Those gauges are extremely fussy, the ground is very important. Before replacing, try running a temp ground wire from battery direct to sender unit, and try again. If the readings...

I say hold the phone: If you stated it is just a winch motor that provides the shut movement? Take a look at those winch leads, notice size of copper conductors? Now take a look at your 7 or 14 pin connector conductors? You go from a conductor rated close to 80 amps, down to your skids poor...

It may be the fuel could have started to gel. I did not add additive for that on last fill, just the moisture treatment stuff. It would be nice just to put in new plugs, but not for $125 just to say I did it. I would be gelling was starting to happen. I will keeping trying to find a cross for...

So went out today to fire machine up in 10deg. temps. Glow plugs timed out at 20 sec. and away we normally go. Instead today took way too long for engine to fire. Somewhere between 30-45 seconds. Granted it has sat for 2-3 months, a little white smoke and finally off we go. So I check voltage to...

My S185 "had" an issue blowing fuses, etc, and here is what I have found. Make sure the fuse "alt" is not blown, but I will assume you have already done this. Make sure you have +12v to ground at switch's with machine running. Next, knowing fuse is good, alarm is wired and works as you stated...

DR. My service manual as all ours has the pinout diagram for from ACC. connector yes. But.... I bet what original poster is looking at is colored wires, going to A terminal, B terminal, C terminal, etc. These wires "may" have the numbers on them. I would bet $$$ these "color codes are no where...

I am with Tazza. Just not used that much anymore. In my service manual, no there is no pin-out diagram of that front ACC. connector. That may have to come straight from local dealer shop. I can't believe you couldn't stop in and tell them you just need a diagram? Maybe buy some oil or other item...

Fire the machine up, you should have 14v+ across battery. If so, alternator is just fine. But, I have a sneaky suspicion your alt/kits fuse is bad or at least a connection for it. That fuse when blown, will illuminate the battery light, as well as no horn or backup alarm will work. As stated in...

On my S185 I had that same issue from time to time. Took me forever to figure it out. Yes I looked at the horn switches, then looked at front side assy. connector. Follow and unhook the front side assy. cable at machine down by battery and see if it still blows? Could have rubbed the wires near...

I went with the Solideal Extra-Wall 10ply......They seem pretty nice for the $$$. I paid $155/e installed so I thought that was fair. I also thought about Galaxy brand, but went with the Sloideal. Prepare yourself now......The country of mfg. stamped on my tires say "Sri-Lanka"......Would rather...

Sounds like you already answered your own problem: If the machine seems to start hard as well as "creep", your machine just needs to have its "neutral" position adjusted so no longer creeps. I will assume this should aid in easier starting as well not loading engine up right away.

I got the front and rear ones done. No gaskets were used. I used Blue RTV silicon from Napa Auto. Water, Oil, Gas resistant, etc. I believe you are correct (7LBS) that those gaskets weep. I was not impressed at all. Needless to say, getting that rear cover on without wearing most of the silicon...

http://bobcat.backupmanuals.com That is where I got one of mine from. A few folks here have them, a beggin and pleadin may get you one. Just a monster of a file to email..........

I was wondering bout that charge pressure as well? All that is left if for sure not sprockets/chains/motors is pump and aux. pump????? Time to get the popcorn, this could get interesting. Sorry bout your troubles though...:(

The oil level is at proper height. They are no other seals going out filling chain case with extra oil if that is your thought? I drive it up/down a fairly steep ditch from time to time sloshing it around, I'll assume this is when oil weeps out of bad gaskets and eventually finds itself on shop...
