    287B Quick Coupler & POS SELF LVL Blowing Fuses

    Good to know . I can live with this work around, I certainly would prefer to keep OFF the auto level though ha.

    Finally got some more time to work on the skid. Needed to replace the long broken throttle cable. The two ECU's under the floor pan were halfway covered in hydraulic fluid drips, dirt, and other forest debris. Probably my issue. Was not able to get the pan up before I fixed my throttle cable...

    Okay, appreciate your experienced reply to both. I’ll check the relays connected but that does make sense why it may not have also popped immediately sometimes (especially if I can’t find a short to ground on the Self Level / QC circuit.

    Okay I’ll find that and disconnect it. Good idea to see if that pops a fuse, if the circuit still lights in on it could be an internal short in the dvtr valve

    Light varies a lot between these LED pods. If you can gauge them, you want 100W or more to be brighter than oem.

    I've got the digital copy of that operations manual and it has been useful learning the machine and how it responds to the many buttons it has to be pressed. It mentions nothing about it's relationship with the self level function, unfortunately. Connector one is at the rear of the machine. I...

    Asking Recommends, Looking across all lines at Skid Steers

    Great businesses have failed for trying to overextend. If you increase your overhead, your price will have to increase even if you aren’t using this tool.

    Gehl CTL 60, Takeuchi TL6 / 8, etc. all use similar* parts. All the guys I know that repair them complain about the Final Drive prices being more than the cats. You can tow them without a CDL though which is great. I realy like Gehls and wish my old 4625SX 's kubota wasnt trying so hard to die.

    When I had a Gehl with this issue it was related to three things: 1. Chain slap in the chain case, tighten that chain. 2. Loose heim joints in the drive sticks allowing slop in the hand controls. 3. operator error from being green and not knowing what to do when the machine starts to "dance."

    Fuse blows in the above video exactly the first time after pressing the QC switch with the self level switch in the off position (00:10, notice the LED's only flash once, first press, not the second?). This is a new to me machine. I’m not certain if that self level switch was on from the...

    Gotcha. I can disassemble the switches next, but figured you all would want to see this. Unusual issue. In my experience with LED lighting issues, I assume a small amount of voltage is leaking to ground. LEDs will light temporarily or ever so slightly with the lowest of voltage passing through...

    Can’t post a video, but the wc coupler works when this self level switch is on. This is the one that’s spliced together in the main chassis harness. Cant explain that. What a picture can’t show is all 6 dash lights on the LH cluster flash momentarily when the QC button is pressed. Once I...

    No power to my electric quick attach on CAT 259D

    Is this the same issue on the B series machines? This may also be my issue.

    Some photos of the rear hydraulic manifold and solenoid mentioned in the first post below. Also the main hydraulic manifold with oddly designed vertical plugs. Circuit 14 is for self level and coupler. Cleaned fuse box pic. They really don’t have a sealed cover for this?

    Connector 12 looks good (30 wires or so) Connector 15 was also clean. Shown e greased up. Started up and blew fuse again as previously. Going to try and run without connector 15 in and see if that fixes the instantly blowing fuse after starting and running without operating the switch(es)...
