    963C 2002 year Issues

    cb75 I may take you up on that , it been on the back burner for a while. I have a feeling there is a fuel power issue that needs correcting and want to address it all at one time.

    963C 2002 year Issues

    Machine was bought early last fall at auction. Ran it 10 hours then had head issues. someone spent time putting a nice paint job on it which is always suspect but they spent the money for a new bottom minus the pads. Just a little background info on it.

    963C 2002 year Issues

    After replacing hoses etc , we refilled it with Marathon 10W. I have a feeling I will need a tech out with the correct test equipment to check fuel pressure then move to the drive and test pressures there as well. A manual is on order. I am more familiar with the 2ZN 953C. Just shooting off the...

    963C 2002 year Issues

    I don't have the s/n in front of me but will get it. The machine needs some adjustments and trouble shooting. The engine needed repair the cylinder head was leaking. After a new gasket was installed the head was checked and put back together. Now it turns over and will finally start after you...

    Re-sealing lift cylinders 955L

    AllDodge just curious if you took the cylinder to Hodgenville for repair. I have used these guys a couple times. They have the proper tools to do these cylinders. Plus they are reasonable.

    A 951C I have, A Clue I Do Not...

    I'm about 50 miles south of Lexington. My son moves back in 2 weeks to UK. I'll be up that way quite a bit and could stop by to see what you have going on if that works. I'm in Whayne Lex a couple times a month.

    Resurrection of a Cat - Tentative

    Early in life I was a HVAC tech. Some of the first experimental AC units were filled with propane. It is an excellent refrigerant other than the fact that when compressed it tends to explode a little. I've been on this forum for years , to say the least its one of if not the best I have found...

    A D9G Follwed me home today "Ex Mashuda" machine

    Every body always says "if they had a D9". I reckon you can back it up. I'm guessing you burned 5 gallons of fuel in that video. I'd like a D7G to do some occasional pushing couple hundred hours a year.

    IHI 25NX

    I have an IHI 25NX on rent with purchase option. The engine compartment is dry , the machine is dry all around. I can't find much out about these even did a search of this forum. It seems strong enough for its size compared to others I've ran. I'd like some input or advice as to what I need to...

    953 LPG 20Z new pump cartridge but weak lift cylinders

    jaysksmith , look at my thread on my 943. The set up is the same as a 953. We had the tank off , valves out etc. My pump was putting out just shy of 3000 psi.

    943 lift function has quit working.

    Got the loader fixed. Turned out to be a bad lift cylinder , the bolt came out and let the piston loose. Completely fubared the cylinder. Removed the valves and cleaned the tank , found a used cylinder put a seal kit in it and its back in action. Put it to work last Wednesday night , got about...

    963 fuel issue

    Is it possible that the throttle linkage being out of adjustment , the way it shuts off without hitting the idle stop etc , the linkage could be keeping it from going to full high idle? Is the over travel spring on the throttle linkage frozen up?

    Track loader

    This may be a stupid suggestion but was the machine completely recalibated after the drive motor repair. I feel like it was done just asking. I have seen the switches on the foot pedals go bad but not actually cause major problems , they wouldn't react properly.

    943 lift function has quit working.

    We kind of have it narrowed down to the relief valves being dirty. Tank is off and the valves are torn down. Plan to reseal the valve , rebuild reliefs and reseal the right lift cylinder as it as leaking externally. I like the machine well , very fuel efficient for the work you get out of it...

    963a running hot

    Just a suggestion from my own experience , are the belly pans clean? I've seen a machine with the belly pans full run just right at the point of being hot but wouldn't set the buzzer off.

    943 lift function has quit working.

    I'm not sure the last time the cylinders were off or rebuilt. I have taken it to a local guy that works on machinery , he thinks its in the valve which on these tractors I been told the valve is in the hydraulic tank. I will report back his findings , he said he was going to do some pressure...

    943 lift function has quit working.

    A little more info on this situation , the lift works fine until you put down pressure on it , then the valve has no effect until you work the bucket tilt. Then it will start working until you put down pressure on it again. I took a heat gun and checked the temp of the lift cylinders they were...

    943 lift function has quit working.

    Fluid is full , and the linkage is fine. I think it may be bypassing internal in the right cylinder. We are going to do some pressure checks later to see whats happening.

    943 lift function has quit working.

    The lift function has quit working. The bucket curl still has power. I turned the machine off and started it back and the lift worked for a few minutes , even enough to load a bucket of dirt then quit working again. I did get it to raise to see if the bucket would stay up and not drift down ...
