    Cat 325 suddenly stopped operating

    I thought of something like that. I didn't install a gauge, frankly I wasn't sure where to check for pressure. I haven't worked on big yellow iron in 10 years and back then I had access to Cat diagnostics and schematics. I am kind of trying to help out a friend/ colleague who's contractor...

    Cat 325 suddenly stopped operating

    I got a call for an excavator that quit working. On arrival I found the bucket in the air resting on a piece of sheathing they were placing in the ground. Operator stated that the machine just stopped in the middle of operations. The engine starts, runs, and idles up fine but there are no...

    Diesel Laptops

    Yes. I trust it. I think its a good value for trucks. I haven't used it for the off highway stuff yet. So far, having a tool that can be used across manufacturers has been good. I use it for Cummins and Mack regularly.

    Diesel Laptops

    I wrote this on another post in this forum. It was easier to copy and paste. -We have Diesel Laptops Inc. with their Texa communication box and software. Full on highway and off highway software packages. Full boat to get started was around 8k. It costs $1500 per year for updates and full...

    Diesel Laptops

    @rmllarue91, Where are you in PA? I live in Stroudsburg. I work in Jersey. I have the Diesel laptop with the Texa highway and off highway package. I think it is a good system. I could try to answer any questions you may have.

    6.7 Cummins Crank No Start

    I am a tech that often doesn't get the computer out until I have exhausted the other diagnostic processes. If there's a CEL, I'll start with the computer to point me in the right direction, but always trying to K.I.S.S. I admit that I have wasted time with and without the help of the...

    308E2 no start. Help!

    My first thought would be bad batteries. You may have 12v static charge, but while cranking it may drop right down. Good luck!

    DEF Delight or not??

    @Gene Allar can you track down a schematic and figure out what "Terminal 50" controls? That code 3350 is defined as "Terminal 50- Always on" according to a chart I found on CNH code chart I found. Link below. Maybe you have a rubbed wire or loose connection creating the issue...

    s650 Lift arms weak

    If it is like our S650, I think ours are 2018, the pivot for the foot controls are mounted under the seat. They only have a thin plastic bushing in there. Maybe they're worn and not allowing full motion of the spool? One of our machines, not properly cleaned after last plowing season, had an...

    whats your favorite welding helmet

    2 guys I used to work with swear by these, they are both welder/fabricators full time. I can't justify the expense for occasional welding and repair jobs.
