    JD 790E LC - starting issue & throttle/rpm issue

    Started have some issues with our 790. Starting - sometimes (doesn't do it consistently) when we turn the key, the engine turns over 1 or 2 times and stops. Seems to turn fast, but not enough revs to start. Tested the batteries and they are OK. Pulled the starter off and took it to the...

    What length of chains to carry on our lowbed?

    I've tried searching both on HEF and on google, but haven't found too much. We've bought an older lowbed to use moving our farm dozer and excavator around. Trying to decide what length of chains to get to throw in the toolbox? Would also be looking to haul other farm equipment from time to...

    CAT70 Scraper: How to pull front axle stub?

    Found a loose bearing on the front axle of our CAT70. Went to tighten the nut and found that someone has been into this before. The nut is very loose on the shaft threads. Decided to pull the stub and see what we can do... Removed the 1" bolt and 5/8" bolt from the axle tube. Cleaned up all...

    Dozer Pad Torque - 5/8"-18(NF)

    Getting ready to install rebuilt pads on my old Allis HD11. I picked up new pad bolts and nuts at the local CAT dealer. 5/8"-18. Trying to figure a torque value. From the searching that I've done, I've found a couple of places stating 110-130ftlbs + 120º for 5/8" fine thread. One mentioned with...

    Need to find CAT, Case, Deere, etc blade cylinders to fit Allis

    The blade lift cylinders on my Allis HD11 are shot. When I bought it, I knew the seals were pooched and the shafts were scratched badly (and deep!). Took them off and to the local hydraulic shop to be inspected. Says that the tubes are shot as well. He's figuring a price on making new ones, but...

    Cutting Fluid for Bandsaw

    We've got one of the import 7x12 bandsaws for our farm shop. I prefer running it with coolant vs dry. However since it doesn't get used a lot, the water in the coolant mix evaporates out. I usually add more water (distilled) and carry on. Every couple of years, I dump out the tank and start...

    Mech Detach Neck too low??

    I went and looked at a lowbed today. 1979 Cozad. Tandem axle (11r22.5 regular tires). Mechanical Detach. Live roll at the rear. The underframe clearance was ~30" just ahead of the axles. This means that the upright part of the neck isn't very tall. The front of the deck was sitting up on some...

    Neighbour bought a CAT GP25K (propane) at auction. 1) No manuals with the machine. Does anyone have a PDF for this machine? Operator's? Parts? Service? Anything really at this point! 2) It won't start. Cranks over like crazy, but no fire. (I know my Hyster does this occasionally and all...

    New to me HD11

    I've asked a few questions over on ACMOC and allischalmers.com. Figured I'd throw some info up here as well! Picked up 2 HD11's actually. One has a seized engine and has been robbed of a few parts. S/N: HD11S-3677. The 2 machines have been buddies for at least the last couple of owners. The...
