    CAT 255 - FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE

    I am considering a new Cat 255. There's a dealer down the street who has offered me a good price. The machine seems good but it's so new that I can't find any reviews. Is anybody running one of these and willing to share thoughts and advice? Also, how would you compare this to a SVL75-3 of...

    GOT RUST IN MY TANK

    My 1999 580SL has rust down there. The inline filter before the lift pump got all gunked up and starved the engine. I can see at least one baffle. I think i can hit some of the inside with a pressure washer but the baffles may make parts inaccessible. So what to do? I've read that diluted...

    CASE 580 SL Low Power

    Hi, I have a 580SL series 2 that seems to be low on engine power. In first gear it'll barely chug up a hill and won't make over 1500rpm. I'm okay with engines but don't know a lot about diesels. My first thought is fuel. The main filter is new but there's a little can type in front of the...

    Case 580SL Wiring Diagram

    So, I bought a 580SL series 2. It seems to run ok but the Gauges aren't working. I have the service manual but there's no wiring diagram. I called my local dealer looking, they said they didn't have one. Searched the entire internet with no luck. Does anybody have a wiring diagram or know...

    Hi all, New member here. I'm looking for advice on a used backhoe to help maintain my property in Virginia. I have a small excavator and a tractor but there are times I need more digging power than the mini will do and times I need to move heavier loads than the tractor will do. I've talked...
