[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 3412, member: 543"] Man, that cab is heavy. I don't have struts. I got the steering adjusted pretty well. At least it doesn't back in a circle by itself! [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-2.gif[/IMG] A helper would be real handy for that job. It's hard to hold the steering lever and tighten the bolts and position the pintle blocks all at the same time. I clipped that crossover wire and now I hear the click for the glowplugs. I don't understand the reason to only have the glowplugs come on with the starter [IMG]https://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopModules/AdverForums/ImageGallery/emotion-7.gif[/IMG]. 20 seconds wasn't quite enough, I'll try 30 next. If I take the control block off, I'd like to go right through it. Any idea about how much the parts would be? I was a little off on the amount it drops....it might be only about 3 inches a second...it just seems fast. I don't think it's the centering, that sucker drops until the pedal is pushed far enough to raise.
