    battery current draw when sitting

    Does anyone have a handle on how much current is drawn on a battery when sitting idle. My NH LS150 will drain a new battery to the point it will not start after setting for a month or so. I measure 11.5v between the loose ground cable and the negative post on the battery that shows 12.7v...

    New Holland ls 150 battery discharging

    Yes, I was thinking of the alternator diodes also. I am not sure what checks to make, especially without removing it. Anyone have any ideas on how to proceed?

    New Holland ls 150 battery discharging

    My 2002 NH Ls 150 skid steer battery is discharging when left sitting for a week or so. The Battery is new and I suspect something is drawing power when the key is off. There are no lights or other things I can think of that might cause this. I now leave the side panel off and...

    NH LS 150 Skid Steer Cab Tilting Without The Jack

    I have a very slight leak from a water sensor located on the left side of the engine and cannot get to it easily. It is not serious enough for me to tilt the cab now but I am concerned about having to do it some day and do not have the special jack. By the way, in your experience with the...

    Changing Battery New Holland ls 150 skid steer

    Yes it is behind the battery on mine also but it leans a little over the top of the battery and extends to the muffler. I can easily remove the bolt at the muffler but I cannot see how to get to the bolt at the bottom of the brace without removing the belly pan. It sure looks like the brace...

    Changing Battery New Holland ls 150 skid steer

    Thanks......The problem in replacing the battery on the LS150 is with the muffler brace. I can remove the top bolt but the bottom seems impossible to get at without removing the belly pan. I do not understand the "additional side piece" you referred to. I don't think mine has one but I will...

    Changing Battery New Holland ls 150 skid steer

    I use the 15-40 diesel oil for the engine and never have replaced the hydraulic oil. My unit only has about 300 hours on it and it is a 2002! I like it fine but it is so compact that you cannot get to anything without tilting the cab and that takes a special jack which is terribly expensive...

    NH LS 150 Skid Steer Cab Tilting Without The Jack

    Thanks, where did you employ the prybar and wedges? How far up did you raise the cab to get to the pumps? I was hoping someone knew a way to tilt the cab over completely using another unit with a front loader or some sort of boom and a chain hoist or something!

    Changing Battery New Holland ls 150 skid steer

    They must be different. With my side cover removed, there is a rod bracing the muffler that goes across the top of the battery and you can only get to one end of the rod to remove it without taking off the bottom skid pan underneath.

    NH LS 150 Skid Steer Cab Tilting Without The Jack

    Has anybody tilted the cab on a NH LS 150 Skid Steer without using the special jack they recommend? It looks like it could be done if I could figure out how to lift the cab and tilt it using a hoist of some sort. You need to tilt the cab forward in order to get to the engine to do anything it...

    Changing Battery New Holland ls 150 skid steer

    I need to change the battery in my NH LS 150 skid steer. I cannot see how to get it out without removing the bottom skid plate. Is that necessary? Can someone tell me their experience in battery replacement? Like what steps are required? It looks like the muffler support rod needs to be...

    NH LS 150 Skid Steer Hyd Pressure Shut Off

    Problem Solved Hi...I found the switch, the manual directed me to the wrong place entirely! It is easy to reach and replace. It cost $45 and they are a common problem especially if they show signs of oil seepage. They are normally closed and pressure opens them but when oil gets inside, they...

    NH LS 150 Skid Steer Hyd Pressure Shut Off

    My NH LS-150 skid steer is a 2002 model with only 300 hours on it and is seldom used here on the farm. It started shutting down a couple times due to hydraulic pressure light coming on. Today it would not quit shutting down. I have heard the pressure sensor is often a problem on these and...

    New Holland LS-150 Hydraulic System

    Thanks for the information. I thought about a faulty sensor too. Where is it located and can you get to it for replacement without tilting the cab? I do not have a special jack to do that. Also the filter being plugged is a thought although the machine has only less than 400 hours on...

    New Holland LS-150 Hydraulic System

    My 2002 LS-150 has only 400 hrs and works fine. But, Lately I found that if I operate it at low rpm, like 2400, the red light comes on for low hyd pressure and it shuts down! I read you are supposed to operate at max rpm, 3200, but still I am surprised it will not operate at lower rpm. Anyone...

    Engine oil in New Holland skid steers

    Engine Oil I am sure you should use diesel grade of 10w30 oil. Most of these oils will designate it it is approved for diesel use. Synthetic oil is fine for diesels also, just costs more. Diesels are dirty engines and require good additive packages. I once heard that the most critical...

    New Holland LS-150 Skid Steer

    Hydrostat Release Valves I wish NH had one of these! I am pretty sure they don't but I really don't understand how they could have made a product like this without one! I have read all thru the owners manual and asked around to no avail.

    New Holland LS-150 Skid Steer

    I bought an LS-150 NH and like it so far. I would like to know if anyone here is familiar with these. I need a service manual and a jack kit to tilt the cab for maintenance. I have a slight coolant leak I have not found the source yet. I removed the belly pan and the side panels and will...
