    Cat 287B Both tracks lock up.. No hydraulic functions.

    I’m not familiar with that Cat model, however I’ve spent many hours on ASV/Terex and they have some similarities. The lap bar, seat safety, door switch all need to work together. If this machine uses solenoids to move the spool valves for the safety circuit/parking brake… there are a few...

    Isuzu NPR 4HE1. Very odd behavior from Zexel Cold Start Solenoid (CSS)

    Isuzu cold start. -push throttle to floor -turn key, see glow plug light -wait… -crank with foot on floor. It was below twenty today. The CSS was on for the majority of my drive to the jobsite. Motor has a significantly louder sound with it activated. check for activity for the relay behind...

    Isuzu NPR 4HE1. Very odd behavior from Zexel Cold Start Solenoid (CSS)

    A broken glow plug, manifold bolt, injector clamp bolt… It can take days to recover from those. Indeed, slow down and make a game plan for stuck fasteners or parts. We all have those scars.

    2020 Takeuchi TL12v2 Hand throttle frozen

    It’s always a good thing to have the machine back to work. The ASV RT40 machines we run will have almost no throttle response upon start up. The Danfoss interface or other computer control systems makes the throttle dial knob dead for a short period of time after start up. Probably to a...

    2020 Takeuchi TL12v2 Hand throttle frozen

    Used and fixed a fair number of Takeuchi machines, can’t say I’ve ever had the throttle knob click beyond its physical limits. -do you have a foot throttle to over-ride the dial throttle and does that work? -are you getting any specific codes or just the warning triangle? -do you have any Aux...

    Isuzu starter woes

    Lots of equipment has the battery negative going directly to chassis or frame. There is an additional cable that is between chassis and engine, that’s often overlooked. I agree, a cable directly from battery to engine is ideal. Solenoid tapping works, for awhile. Until you stall in a bad spot...

    Isuzu starter woes

    Had a Deere 50D that would barely roll over during starting. Cleaned all the battery terminals, checked relays, voltage… the basics. After a few hours I discovered the negative battery terminals had very high resistance and was choking the starter ability to draw enough power from the battery...

    Isuzu NPR 4HE1. Very odd behavior from Zexel Cold Start Solenoid (CSS)

    Yellow relay controls the solenoid. Started my truck today, about 45 degrees here in Michigan and the solenoid was activated at idle for over 10 minutes.

    Isuzu NPR 4HE1. Very odd behavior from Zexel Cold Start Solenoid (CSS)

    Yea. They are low on power, but you can run them all day with your foot smashed on the throttle and they won’t quit. The glow plug circuit has a big relay behind the drivers front tires. If your coolant sensor isn’t working properly, you’ll also have issues running glow plugs and CCS. I’m...

    Isuzu NPR 4HE1. Very odd behavior from Zexel Cold Start Solenoid (CSS)

    Cable was slightly swollen and found this failure under it. The starter motor was a little slow… also, you can see we’re the little wires started to melt together.

    Isuzu NPR 4HE1. Very odd behavior from Zexel Cold Start Solenoid (CSS)

    I’ve worked on and driven this era of Isuzu for 15 years! I loved these trucks. -correct, that’s the cold start assist solenoid. Do not adjust or remove without a game plan. For testing you can remove the power supply wire and start without it. Add 12v and hear the difference in the engine...

    4th Year Design Project Research - Wrist Protection for Skid Steer operators [Looking to learn more about the industry]

    Honestly, modern operator cabs are really nice. I’ve pushed the mechanical linkages on an old Case1845c and after a day, you feel it. Don’t get me started on foot pedals… But pilot controls or electric over hydraulic makes joystick work effortless. Add a suspension seat and climate control...

    please help!!!!!!!1

    Aux loading is a possible issue, there are some constant flow switches that can sometimes cause issues. I’ve found the wiring harness issues to usually be the main cause of problems on these small but mighty machines. Take the belly pans off and look near the resolver block (safety solenoid...

    Which loader is best for seeing the bucket cutting edge while operating the loader

    A few factors to consider also: -Does the operator seat move, helping the operator sit properly in the cab. -Are you getting a factory bucket or aftermarket bucket? -What job tasks will the machine being needed to do? Strictly grading, bulk material loading, snow removal… etc. -adding a bolt on...

    50d vs e35i

    https://www.deere.com/en/parts-and-service/parts/ All of our compact Deere equipment requires a zinc free hydraulic oil. Make sure you are adding the correct oil for your machine. You can also sample your oil and send it to a lab for analysis. Things I would focus on because they are often...

    Cat 287B Both tracks lock up.. No hydraulic functions.

    The vibrations in CPT machines causes all sorts of challenges for wiring. Look for: -wiring harness rubbing on belly pans or chassis -wiring harness pinched -wiring connection corrosion -relays and fuses. (I’ve seen fuses that look okay, but have failed) -do you have consistent voltage? (I’ve...

    50d vs e35i

    We have a Deere50D too, with about 6,000 hours. Has been a strong machine, low maintenance cost and no emissions. I really like pilot controls too (a lot less electronics). Even accessing the the under cab area is fairly easy. You won’t regret having a bigger machine either.

    Undid a pilot hydraulic line and lost forward movement.

    It’s always nice to find a problem and relate it to the root cause of the original issues. I can’t think of anyway to repair that… also don’t know if they are rebuildable. Either way, less than 1000$ to move forward, not to bad.

    Undid a pilot hydraulic line and lost forward movement.

    Think about it like this. A carburetor, like a hydraulic system, has a fair number of adjustments on it and messing with them those adjustments can cause issues. It’s important to slowly and methodically go at the problem without twisting all the screws around and changing the original settings...

    Adding more track rollers...

    Are your using factory tracks? We have 2 Deere 17g machines and one uses factory tracks and the other has “overseas” tracks. The factory tracks have twice as many segments for the drive cog to engage and they have work much better. The 17g machines replaced the Tb016 we used to have. All these...
