    Coolant \ Antifreeze Question for a Ford New Holland 555D Backhoe - ELC to Nitrate or to not Nitrate?

    Obviously with older Equipment it can be a challenge to looks at the older fluid requirement and translate them into what is available or best for today - at a reasonable cost also. My research shows that my backhoe (555D) wants a coolant with the MAT 3724 specification - this looks to be an...

    Vermeer S725TX (2017) with cooling issues

    Hey y'all, first time poster. We own a couple of these 'dingos', great for getting in small spaces and still plenty strong. I forgot to check but I believe ours has a kohler motor. We've been having some issues with one over heating. No visible leaking but it loses a little bit of coolant...

    Hello group. I'm considering buying a Kobelco 909LCii with the mitsubishi turbo 6DC15. Are there any known issues to consider when diagnosing coolant in motor oil for this particular engine? It happened shortly after a coolant flush. Which raises my suspicions. The coolant pressurized the...

    Kubota kh66 d1402b dirty coolant

    Hey, I've got an older kubota excavator with a d1402b engine. about 4500 hrs on machine. Engine occasionally pushes coolant to the overflow bottle and runs low on coolant, so I keep an eye on the temp gauge. When it runs hot I'll check the level in the radiator and it'll be low. Top it off and...

    Bobcat S185 Update and Couple of Questions

    Hi All, I have the engine back in the machine and I can crank it manually by holding open the fuel shutoff and jumping the starter out (I am happy to say that it runs good). However when I try to crank it with the key, the fuel shutoff does not open up. So it will turn over a couple of times and...

    Case 580 SE Coolant problem

    If I look into the radiator on my 580 backhoe, the coolant is all the way to the top (when engine is cold). Sometimes it also spews it out. If I look into the reservoir its below the add mark. Any ideas on what may be causing this? The OM only tells me what to do when the radiator is low and the...
