    The Woe-some Tale of the Low Hour SVL90-2 from Oklahoma

    I would agree with that, though I feel like it should have been noted and mentioned when they "ran it through the shop". That goes for the high flow issue, too. It sounds like there should have been a discussion about what "running through the shop" meant to each party. In my mind, it means...

    Machines with true pilot controls

    I have an ASV SR80 from 2008 and it's a great machine with pilot controls. Became the PT80 when Terex bought ASV.

    PT100F two speed fuse blows

    Adhesive backed foil sound deadening material is used a lot in custom car projects and stand up to under hood heat. Dynamat is one of the originators, but there are many, many options out there. https://store.dynamat.com/collections/automotive

    ASV PT100 lifting issue in HI Flow

    You could inquire directly to ASV as well. They have been very helpful with knowledge and technical documents for my SR80. Just email them through the corporate website.

    John Deere 323E No Start / Bad Seat Switch

    If the crank bolt is accessible (not familiar with Deere) you could try rotating the engine a little by hand and then see if the starter will spin it. Things could be a little stuck from sitting. If it works, I would still look at the start circuit, as that probably indicates it's on the weak...

    Bobcat T750 for $24k???

    I've got wet snow here too, and a round bar cutting edge on my plow that tends to "polish" the snow. But the SR80 stays pretty well planted, at least until you try to steer with a loaded plow.. It's almost 3000 lbs heavier than an RC50, which I expect helps. Not being able to pull stuff out is...

    Bobcat T750 for $24k???

    I plow my 200 yard driveway with my ASV SR80, and am pretty happy with it, for a tracked machine. Just got a watch yourself on sidehills, as things can, quite literally, go sideways fast. Pushing in a straight line is no problem. Uphill pushing and steering can get tougher once the snow...

    The age old question-What machine should I buy

    My experience with Kubota roll-up doors (on both CTL and excavator) is that they can get a little finicky with time and use. But a little maintenance and lubrication will fix them. I think a lot of the complaints come from people who won't take the time to do that. I currently have an ASV CTL...

    2013 Kobuta SLV75 in Bangor, PA

    I've been seeing their ads on Facebook for years, so I think they actually exist and are not a scam. However, they've always struck me as an outfit that buys machinery at auction, cleans it up a little, and marks it up a lot. There are so many SVL75s out there that you shouldn't have much...

    Large frame, high HP, No DEF

    Check out the first couple generations of ASV Posi-Track machines. They had a reversible operator station, and optional 3 point hitch/PTO setup. Unfortunately, enough time has passed that it's tough to find one that hasn't been beat to crap over the last 30 years. As far as why no CTLs since...

    Slow pilot controls on early 2000s ASV and Cat

    I did not. The joysticks only have ASV numbers on them. However, ASV says the slow resolver block problem wouldn't have applied to my machine anyway.

    Slow pilot controls on early 2000s ASV and Cat

    I believe you are correct. One between the main pump and the charge pump, one between the lift arm control valve and the tank, and one in the case drain line. The machine behaves normally in warmer weather, which makes me think the filter is probably not at fault. However, I need to change the...

    Steel Core Tracks Vs Non Steel Core Tracks

    My guess would be that anything you can get will be kevlar belted. I bet the steel belt listing is incorrect. Lots of third party track websites seem to have fairly iffy information.

    Steel Core Tracks Vs Non Steel Core Tracks

    The 247 has the ASV undercarriage, correct? Are steel belted tracks even an option?

    Grapple too fast

    One should work if you put it right at the end of one quick connect line.

    Case drain- male or female? Which is more common?

    Good to know, thank you. I guess ASV was marching to their own drummer on this one.

    Case drain- male or female? Which is more common?

    I have an ASV SR80 that has a female quick connect for the case drain. I just purchased a Bobcat flail mower that also has a female quick connect for the case drain line. Which one is more common in the machine side? From the little reading I've done, it sounds like ASV may be in the minority...

    ASV 120f no restart

    That probably has a Cummins QSF 3.8, which is an electronically controlled engine, so diagnostics might have to be at a dealer if you don't have the right equipment.im not sure if those are OBDII or if they use some other sort of diagnostic system. Is the dealer you bought it from still an ASV...

    ASV RC50 Random hyd & electrical issues

    Email ASV and they should be able to send you a schematic. They are quite good with help and support for their older machines. https://www.asvi.com/contact-us/

    ASV HD4520 a Good Starter Machine?

    That is a first-generation ASV, which at this point I would consider obselete. Not only from a parts availability standpoint (though you may still be able to get them) but for the fact that it's the first generation of ASV's undercarriage and they spent the 10-20 years after that machine was...
