    Cat 416C 4X4 not working

    I just wanted to post the resolution to this for me in case someone is looking into the same problem. Once I knew what I was looking for from that parts drawing of my transmission and Identified the 4wd solenoid valve I discovered a broken wire to it causing my issue. I was going to try to...

    CAT 416B brake problems

    Im looking at doing this exact job with my 416b, did yours go well? It looks in the manual like the brakes are some of the first things you disassemble so can you get in there and fix the leak without completely taking the whole thing apart? Thanks

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting water contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system?

    Unfortunately I don't have power where the machine is so I'll have to drain oil and bring it with me to heat it up. I'm definitely going to give it a try so I can re use as much oil as possible.

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting water contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system?

    Is there only one return? I would assume it is the big one coming from the top of the oil cooler to the tank but there are also smaller ones higher up on the tank. Thanks

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting water contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system?

    I was hoping to be able to do that, but after draining all of the oil from the tank, cleaning the tank, draining every line that I could reasonably access, and from all the cylinders, I added 50 gallons of clean oil and it turned back into the same yellow muck as before almost instantly with the...

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting water contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system?

    Thanks for all of the valuable ideas and information everyone. I finally got all of the milky oil in the tank drained out today and got all of the oil that I could out of the oil cooler, lift cylinders, stick cylinder, and bucket cylinder. Tomorrow I'm going to clean the tank, drain anything...

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting water contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system?

    I would think that it would separate as well but it doesn't in hydraulic oil. It seems like once it gets churned up, it's milky forever. This machine just had a separate break down(engine front seal) and sat for months until I had a chance to fix it, and the oil never separated. I think I'm...

    Anyone have any suggestions on getting water contaminated hydraulic oil out of the system?

    My 690ELC got water in the hydraulic oil at some point and I've been struggling with it ever since. I think I've fixed where it was coming from(boom lift cylinders) but changing the oil in the tank never makes it any better. I know there is a lot of oil in the rest of the system but I would have...

    John Deere 690ELC Front Crank seal replacement

    I wanted to post what I ended up doing here in case anyone comes across this post with similar questions. I was actually able to replace the seal without removing the wear ring with the advice of a friend. I cut the smooth section out of a plastic bottle and cut down the middle of it so it could...

    John Deere 690ELC Front Crank seal replacement

    That is a good idea, thanks. I tried to cheat the instructions by installing the seal over the old wear ring but it did not go well. The rubber rolled to the outside of the new seal and ruined it.

    John Deere 690ELC Front Crank seal replacement

    So I finally got around to tearing into this and I got the old seal out but there is apparently a "wear ring" that the old seal rides on that has to be removed and then replaced after the seal is in to prevent the lips from rolling. Anyone have any tips on removing the wear ring without damaging...
