    skytrak 6042 steer cylinder

    You don't need to remove the nut. Just pull the rod out of the opposite side. There is a keeper ring that has to be removed, just remove the large snap ring from in front of the gland, then tap the gland in a little to remove the keeper ring. Tap the rod and gland out from the side that has the...

    Gehl RS6-42 wont run

    Also check the positive battery cable, see if it has rubbed through somewhere and grounding out. I had one that had this issue, someone ran the positive cable over the exhaust pipe and melted the cover.

    Gehl RS6-42 wont run

    I had one have the same issue. One cause for voltage drop is, there is a brake module that shorts out. Sitting in the seat, remove the lower cover to the right, there should be a black module there, check to see if it has a bulging bubble on the side. If it does this could be part of the...

    2007 Genie S60 Engine won't turn off

    Could be a diode back feeding. I have seen on some genie models,with the check engine warning light on the ground controls go bad. They have a diode that will keep the unit running even after pushing the e stop.. Check that .

    genie Z45/22 engine wont stay running

    Thank you, I will have to keep this in mind for future units. The problem ended up being the voltage was not staying consistent enough to hold the relay shut. The customer has had someone previously do some creative wiring and now the effects are showing up!

    Takeuchi TL 230 bubbling overflow tank

    Hi, Tested the cooler and it was good. Sent the head out and had the surface checked and it failed. Also the piston bore was scored pretty bad, must have overheated and made contact with the bore. It was strange that the gasket didn't have any signs of failure. Oh well, just thought I would give...

    Takeuchi TL 230 bubbling overflow tank

    I have a takeuchi TL-230 with a kubota V3307 turbo engine. The coolant overflow tank is bubbling and flowing out the overflow tube. This happens on cold start and after running a while, so it is not boiling over. I have tested the radiator at the cap and pressure builds instantly to 30 psi. I...

    No start of a 1999 genie z45-25j with ford 425 lrg engine

    We had a 1999 Z45 with ford 425. The wiring along the engine closes to the muffler was melted also. We ended up having to update the harness and throttle body from a zenith to bosch and ECM per genie. After all was said and done we ended up rebuilding the regulator and using only propane. If you...

    JLG 450 AJ boom lift

    Bowser, I didn't mean the bolts were not sealing, i meant that when disassembling the rotator from the basket the bolts break off. I'm sure you'll figure it out though.

    JCB/Gradall G9-43 boom hydraulic hoses repair insane! Advice needed!

    If you give me the serial number, I can see if our parts guy can get you the lengths. He has a pretty good relationship with JLG. Then you can have them made to their specs.

    JLG 450 AJ boom lift

    The only thing that has helped me is to heat the seals in hydraulic oil, makes it easier to slip them on the rotator shaft and end cap. My vision sucks so seeing the timing marks is a pain, you may have better vision so it may be real easy. As lantraxco said it isn't that hard to do. The two...
