    2014 277D hydraulics bleeding off.

    Sounds like your cooling fan might not be turning fast enough. Oil that starts to get hot can cause problems. Is that rad very clean. Is the rad cap full to the top, not the overflow tank. Did you take apart the last hydraulic filters you changed and checked the paper pleats for pieces. Simon C

    Bobcat T180 Track Lock issues

    Might be a good idea to post your serial number and year of machine if you know. Sounds like a harness, connection or similiar problem. Have you checked all the ground connections. Have you tested all or any of the fuses, relays, fusible links, Diodes positive power to the controller, positive...

    Nh 220 injector push rod trevel distance

    Only person that I know on this foum is " Truckshop ". He knows how from what I have read. I do not have manual, where I did my exact same last job they had the manual on NH220. It was on a D85 Komatsu dozer. Send him a message and maybe he can respond. Simon C

    No heat

    Post your machines serial number and maybe a nice person will send you a schematic, and heater valve location. Have you pulled the actual rad cap off to check fluid level, not just the overflow container. Just asking. Are your cab air filters clean, 2 of them I believe. Does the fan turn...

    2019 CAT299D2 blowing black smoke and losing power

    Read post#50 from Pittsburg Cat Man and read the 2 info pages from Cat. Am also wondering if the DPF could be plugged, as the paper states that some smoke can pass through. He might be right, hard to know without doing further testing. One thing foresure, any engine with a mainly plugged...

    Can auxiliary hydraulics get too high on CAT 259D

    Loosen the cylinder fittings about 1 turn and wrap a rag around the thing before sending oil slowly to it. Would be a good idea to hook up a guage to the end of hose before hooking to cylinder . That way you can see if there is too much pressure. Who made the plow? Could be fairly cheap...

    Can auxiliary hydraulics get too high on CAT 259D

    The cylinders were probably void of oil for shipping, and the first time the cylinder moved with oil it went at warp speed because there was only air in the cylinders. If the thumb wheel was moved a hair too fast, too much load on cylinders. The lines should be tested with a plug and gauge on...

    Cat 3046 Gurus. Oil consumption question

    Post #1 said that the cylinder walls were dry. He already had the head off in post number 1 before we offered any advice. Then the turbo got changed and still smoking. That was when I posted to check exhaust ports, so now the head is being tested and resurfaced. I have not seen the inside of...

    Nh 220 injector push rod trevel distance

    Think the injector is done on the same pulley marking as the valves. Injector set at 55inch pounds first, followed by valves on same cylinder set at I believe maybe ).024 thousands. May be able to find more on it . Did one about 1 year ago. That was how i did it. Ran very well.

    New guy no clue

    If you are not in a big rush, a large skid steer or compact track machine with a grapple can move a lot of trees with the grapple. The size of stumps on your property may take some power to remove, just depends on how many. Hiring a 200 size machine can pull a lot of stumps in one day. There...

    New guy no clue

    The size of your property is fairly large. Small gear takes a long time and brakes down like big gear. $25000 is a worn out whatever in this day and age. Do you want to be fixing up the property, or working forever on something on its last legs. Maybe a little to think about. It is your...

    2019 CAT299D2 blowing black smoke and losing power

    Have read the entire post. Have any pressure gauges been hooked up to check common rail pressure. Am assuming it is common rail. Simon C

    Case 580SL Low Power - Again

    Wonder how the unit would run off of a Large 5 gallon can strapped on well, sending fuel direct to transfer pump or before the first filter. Not sure about the exact piping off of the filters on your unit. If forcing 1-2 Psi of air into the tank makes it run better, or produces a leak then you...

    Cat 3046 Gurus. Oil consumption question

    If it is infact the valve guides that are dumpimg hot oil into the exhaust port, that can be fixed for a decent price. If the head is cracked, the price will go up a lot. You will know eventually. Simon C

    TD 15E Engine Oil Issue

    If dirty engine oil is going into the transmission or torque, it will be visible on oil. Is the machine being parked in a level place each time for checking. Just a little tilt and you can be out 3/4 of an inch on the dipstick. Need to check it yourself in case of operator error as Vetech...

    Cat 3046 Gurus. Oil consumption question

    Could be a couple of valve guides that are worn right out, or if it has seals on the top, they could be junked. Agree with Vetch63's comment. Repair shop if they are good will see what is going on. Simon C

    Problem with Komatsu PC200-7

    Forgot to ask about codes on monitor. Does fuel pump respond to a hydraulic function being applied. Fuel lever should travel as load increases. Also as SlatcoAu posted maybe the controller is having problems sending power to the fuel pump because of corroded ground connections, or dirty...

    Cat 3046 Gurus. Oil consumption question

    The 3 reman heads I mentioned in post #30 were all from Cat for warranty work. The problem with a reman head is that they can never perfectly emulate everything including vibration and sonic waves that go on in an engine, not including heat. Yours may be a simple fix, time will tell. Simon C

    Komatsu PC60-7 track chain repair

    Carefull operators have done lots of work with half worn out chains and sprockets. Backing up while turning is what usually derails the tracks. I have seen some horrible ones still doing light jobs. Simon C
