    Spring/summer works

    Man this has been a weird year, feels like we're on our 4th spring freeze thaw cycle in the last 6 months. We've made a round on our roads and things dried out, just got some rain and it seems like a whole new round of frost coming out. It is still April I guess, no matter how nice its been...

    Cut the blade down on a Galion T500

    What kind of material are you working with? If the driveway is established, has proper drainage, and has decent material a box blade on a small tractor is tough to beat for maintaining a 10' driveway. If you're working with native material and trying to establish drainage and are constantly...

    760 pump drive box modification

    Did your drive box go out or are you just trying to simplify? The newer ones ditched the drive box and drove a pump directly like your talking about, but I'm thinking the power steering pump might be driven off of the motor? Don't quote me, I've never looked at the entire set up. Maybe you could...

    Case 821 Products support

    Anyone have any insight into product support these days on early 90's case wheel loaders? Machine looks to be an early 90's 821 in decent shape with 7000 hours. I've got no experience with Case product support from that era, can you still get parts or is a guy likely to run into a lot of...

    Need some advice! (Champion grader)

    Good eye Dave, looks like Solenoid A (1) could be the likely culprit. Should be a code of 2.6 for an open circuit or 3.6 for a short circuit.

    grader noob ?

    As a guy who has dealt with quite a few 10-18k machines, be picky and find the strongest drivetrain you can. Purely from a cost perspective, if you can find a reasonably maintained Cat 112/12/120 its probably going to be the lowest cost to keep operating. If you find a machine you like but...

    Need some advice! (Champion grader)

    Not sure if any of this will do you any good but its the supplemental transmission electrical trouble shooting guide for the 8400 transmission. Solenoids in question look to be on page 4

    Champion 715a.

    I'm sorry to say I have no first hand knowledge of that motor, I'm just telling you what I've run into on other machines based on what you're describing. I have run into the emergency shut off being activated on 6v71's. I've seen shut off solenoids fail on a number of motors. You need to verify...

    It’s just a power shift transmission. 2 pedals, Brake Pedal and an accelerator.

    The more I think about it, I’d really do some investigating to see if there’s an emergency shut down “damper”on that motor and if it’s been activated.
