    3406b peec help please

    I recently bought a (sitting for 3 yrs) truck from an auction, that needs a bit of tlc. S/N 8tc13254 Engine seems to run well, it's in a '91 IH 9300. I have a front housing leak to fix below the compressor (seems common on these according to you tube). Getting a 25 code (boost sensor) need to...

    Diesel starter, couple cranks then disengages from ring gear

    Working on my MF396 with a 1006-6 Perkins. I have an issue where the engine will fire and disengage the drive. If trying to start cold it takes forever, as you have to let the starter stop spinning to try again. The bendix is engaged by the solenoid through a lever (I'm sure pretty common). I...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    When I bought my TD20G it had a piling blade on it (no center pin used) and came with a tilt blade separately. Last year I turned a pin out of some 80mm excavator pin. Hole was kind of worn on the upper hole, c-frame and lower hole were pretty good. I machined a step in the pin to accommodate...

    Radiator cleaning suggestions, please

    My dozers radiator is quite closed in and guarded, has a pusher fan. Can't get in there very well to wash surface, which is collecting dust and plugging. Any recommendations? I cleaned it well with all the covers off a short while ago, didn't expect it to clog so fast. Compressed air? It's quite...

    laminate plate?

    Looking to build some pieces (blade and ripper parts) for the dozer, any thoughts on laminating sheet to get the thickness I need? My shop tooling can handle 3/4" plate, maybe even 1", 2 to 2 1/4" not so much. Was thinking if I bought a sheet of 3/4-1" plate and mindfully stacked and welded them...

    piling blade/ land clearing advice...please

    Trying to solve some issues I've been having, prepping a 160 acre logged area for hay land. Due to work, I only get a few days per month to work the land. I started with an excavator and brush rake worked very well, but too slow, approx. an acre per day. Added a td20g with a piling blade, opens...

    Td20g, I'm stumped

    Hey all, been running in my, new to me, td20g clearing farm land, what a beast. Came across a few minor issues for the mature machine it is. First off, bought a chassis service and operators manual. Operators manual is good as expected, but the service manual leaves a lot to the imagination...

    Dresser td20g track replacement options

    Excited to add the above to the farm equipment roster for land clearing. The machine is bigger and better than I probably really need. Deal is, undercarriage is tired. Tracks are pretty used up, pins and bushings are well past the designed service limit. probably good enough for the interim...

    Hand held tach suggestions

    Any suggestions on a portable tachometer for non electronic diesel engines. First job I need it for is to set up throttle on my old ex200. Saw an interesting one online that has an inductive pickup that uses an injection line for a few hundred bucks. Cheers

    Hay rake opinions?

    Currently running a 10' 6" discbine, rolabar 57 8' 6" side delivery, with a 4' baler. Problem with the rake is that it places the first windrow too close to the second for combining rows. Can't achieve a gap to drive the wheels down going the other way. Maybe it's suited to a wider mower. Side...

    NH 650 round baler twine issues

    I'm at a loss, when the twine is captured by the knives before tying starts everything works perfectly. For some reason, when the twine cuts off at completion, it won't stay under the knives every time. If I load the next bale and try to tie, sometimes they both work, sometimes only one side...

    Hitachi ex200-1 turbo boost specs?

    Can't find any service limits (boost wise) for the IHI rhc7. Although it's very preliminary in troubleshooting my machines quirks and issues, I'm hitting 6 psi max. Seems a little lacking from what I'd expect. Haven't checked injection timing yet but it is smokey under load. Also haven't been...

    hitachi ex200lc1 pilot control valve whine.

    Trying to iron out some minor issues. I've run the machine about 80 hrs over the last year since buying it. I didn't have any errant hydraulic noises in cold weather, now that it's summer, hydraulics at operating temp (78-80 degs celcius), I get a whine mostly in the right control bucket...

    Hitachi ex200lc1 swingdrive dipstick measurement?

    Hi wondering if anyone could tell me what the actual measurement from the top cap/stopper to full mark measurement is. The dipstick on my machine was missing the cap and was full of grease. I flushed out the grease, filled with correct amount of oil, but want to confirm the correct dimension for...
