[QUOTE="Underachiever, post: 116388, member: 20663"] S/N: 515833555 I need some troubleshooting guidance with my 753G. I'm not sure of the year. It has about 1950 hours. I've had it several years but haven't put many hours on it. Up until now it's been reliable. I tried to run it a few weeks ago and it cranked but wouldn't acknowledge the seat bar and subsequently engage the hydraulics. I messed with it for a while until my weak aged battery gave up the ghost. I put a new battery in and got it to crank right up and it started beeping with the hydraulic indicator and shutting off with code 05-15. I got to looking at the engine compartment and noticed out of maintenance schedule hours written on all the filters and decided to change them as well as the engine oil. I changed the engine oil. No idea what was in it but I put back Rotella 10W-30 synthetic blend. I changed the oil filter, the fuel filter and the hydraulic filter. When I cranked it back up I started getting some beeping and the engine oil and hydraulic indicators and then shutting off with codes 04-15 and 05-15.
