    1989 F800 fuel truck; Chelsea 220 PTO won't actually engage, just pretends to.

    Allison AT-545. I suspect the dedicated gear for the PTO isn't turning, because the input gear on the PTO didn't move (I marked it with a grease pen) after I drove a quick loop.

    1989 F800 fuel truck; Chelsea 220 PTO won't actually engage, just pretends to.

    The truck itself serves as a fuel truck, which is where the problem started: After fueling a plane, I disengaged (it's a Chelsea locking air switch) the PTO, heard the driveshaft stop turning ... but the light didn't go out, and the truck wouldn't go into gear. After a few failed re-tries to...

    Is there a picture or diagram of the intake inside the fuel tank of a Cat 950F?

    I'll look into that, though I'll have to figure out some kind of adapter first.

    Is there a picture or diagram of the intake inside the fuel tank of a Cat 950F?

    I'm having almost exactly the same power loss issue as this guy: https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/threads/cat-950f-ii-losing-power.90916/ I'm 99% certain it's a fuel flow problem, because it sometimes continues when put in neutral, before it slowly revs back up. It can take a few minutes...

    International Plow Truck, front plow hoist won't lower.

    The hydraulic ram on the front of the plow truck (a 2020 International HV) won't lower - and it's the only hydraulic on the entire valve assembly that isn't working. It's not a problem with the electronic controls, as I've put a wrench on the manual control, and the "Raise" part of the...

    1997 Cat 950F suddenly crawling at high RPM in every gear.

    I'll check the oil when I get back out in the morning. I can feel it shifting when I select a new gear, it just seems to have very little effect on the speed.

    1997 Cat 950F suddenly crawling at high RPM in every gear.

    I was running our Cat 950F yesterday doing snow removal, and it was humming along just fine. Then, after pushing through some heavy material for a long stretch, it suddenly refused to move at a normal speed at any gear. In first it barely crawls, and in every other gear it moves at a walking...

    Breaking loose a transmission drain plug + transmission housing on a 950F.

    Neither the transmission drain plug nor the filter housing on the 950F I'm using has been removed in probably 10 years, and both refuse to budge, even with an impact wrench. I went with a strap wrench and then breaker bar on the filter housing first, then to a medium-weight impact wrench (a...

    Cat 950F, need one small part for the cab.

    I've read every cab related page of the Parts Manual, and the little set-screw you use a 1/4" drive ratchet to open the air filter panels isn't listed. I've highlighted it in the attached image.
