    massey fergeson 30E 3 point

    its not an issue that you can fix, the instant reverser transmission was built in a way that there was no room for a constant rotation shaft within the body. the driveshaft that spins the lift pump is driven a shaft that only turns when the direction shaft is spinning. this is the reason that...

    lets strike a nerve.

    im about to order a service manual, so that i will have access to a schematic, and perhaps a troubleshooting tree. i agree that it is virtually impossible to trace anything without those paths. I wholly agree with you about posting the results of the help received from these forums. As you point...

    lets strike a nerve.

    the ac control head, always resets every time the machine is killed or started, upon start up the controller will go to mid temperature range, fan will go to floor discharge and circulation goes to outside air, and all ac controller functions blink. if i immediately cycle the temp control to...

    Help Please with computer on link belt 3400 Q

    hopefully your electronics guy can fix your controller, if not, it appears that a khr1794 controller is the replacement controller for your link belt. it seems also to be pretty common across the various sumitomo variances and sizes even.

    lets strike a nerve.

    What type of electrical issues are you having? I have found that these machines seem to be plagued with connector issues, such as burnt connectors and dust destroying contact surfaces.

    lets strike a nerve.

    perhaps I should have tried that approach. I have found that the air conditioning system that the Case track hoe that I asked about is in fact built by Denso, and I'm down to chasing millivolt amperage across the control board since it appears that the issue may be there. And yes, I have gotten...

    lets strike a nerve.

    the post i made about about a body panel that you make reference to was actually looking for cabin filters on the mentioned case machine. i suppose in hindsight that apparently a sumitomo/case/link-belt/kobelco machine is not as common of a machine as i thought, or almost no one has issues with...

    lets strike a nerve.

    some electrical have been encountered on this machine, and yes some of the issues that im having with it are electrical in nature. hydraulics have always performed outstanding apart from the occasions where cylinders have to be rebuilt. i also have to do all of my own repairs, i cant afford...

    lets strike a nerve.

    i've been visiting this forum for several years and while my post count is 156, i've chimed in on occasions when i thought that i could help someone with a problem. i've noticed that if i ask a question, i see views but no answers! is everyone afraid that if they answer a question they will get...

    1984 GMC C7000 366

    I've had to get many of those older Chevies running in the past, believe it or not, a lot of the time an oil change will help with compression. Lifters in those 366's are notorious for refusing to pump up after they have sat for long periods. Many of the medium duties also had Holley base plate...

    503L Galion

    its an international d 232, not a bad engine, but does not like cold weather. notorious problems that do plague this engine are warped heads and leaking injector chamber seals. good thing about it, felpro still makes gasket sets for it and injector chamber seals are copper seal rings that come...

    Chevrolet C60 1973

    73 gas v8 would have been either 350 md or 366 truck, could have been 427 tall deck, but most likely not. Easiest way to tell the 350 and the 366 apart is count the valve cover bolts, 350 has smaller valve covers and only 4 bolts side. 366 or 427 are big blocks and will have large rectangular...

    Ih 3600a

    those roosamasters are pretty durable pumps and yes there are many of them out there. if your going to go through be sure you pull the precups. they have a copper seal under them that you can count on leaking. every ih engine that have dealt with has always been dependent on the glow plugs all...

    D4H Master Link bolts shear fix

    just went through the same issue with my d3. ended up getting some "extractalloy" rods and building up the weld on top of the broken bolts, build up high enough to weld washer and nut on top of broken bolt bolt. Allow to cool completely and they should back right out!. Took me about 2 hours and...

    MF 50H water pump

    A pipe wrench will work as delmer said, but I built the one that I had when working MF's all the time out of cut off pc of input shaft with a nut welded to it. A tip from experience also, the coupling on the end of the shaft is ALWAYS wearing out prior to anything else in that system. We finally...

    Timing on a Cummins 855 Big Cam

    I learned that lesson the hard way on a 504 Cummins, replaced the injectors and adjusted to top center and BENT every injector push rod in it. Did get them straight with mallet and an oak stump and it continued to run for several years, but taught a good lesson.
