    Wet line problem

    So what could cause this? 1: A plug rag or something in the supply between the tank and the pump. 2: Did you have the PTO off the transmission? Does it even engage to the gears? Probably does since you said it generates heat. 3: The hoses could by connected to the pump on the wrong sides...

    Advice with Engine oil grades

    I worked for a company that had operations over many states. An equipment company told them they could go to 500 HR service intervals if their oil was used. Sales pitch for new units I thank. That was my orders even though all our units had over 8,000 hours on them. There were notes about oil...

    Peterbuilt question

    I thought they were 14 series but about the closest I can find is a RTOF13707MLL. That is a 7 speed with a o.76 OD It was not the pattern on the dash ( which said 7 speed ) but you could start in LL behind R, shift top center, straight back, preselect and shift straight forward, then straight...

    Peterbuilt question

    Cannot drive like that anymore unless you out west. Your still 14 over out there. I became allergic to that when I only had one point left. Thought you folks would be more interested in those LL gears for backing up with asphalt or being in the mud and such. Those deep reduction 7 speeds...

    Peterbuilt question

    To have a double over you have to have a back box that is OD. Then the gears in the front of the main case are installed to be OD in high. That makes a double OD. An LL is deep reduction ( Low Low ) in the back. Old ten speeds did not have compound auxiliary boxes, no over drive there. High...

    Pneumatic greaser leaving grease in the drum.

    I will try that. Liked how things worked better before plastic bags were put in the drums. Now when I cannot get them to pump I put the pump in a new drum and install top from the new one on the old one. When that one does not pump get the bag out of the old one and squeeze in into the newer...

    Looking for Dayton Split Ring Wheels

    I also had no luck. We scrapped all the stuff years ago and went tubeless. Most of the ones where I worked were 10:00 15,s to 11R 17.5's. It is said you can not run bias next to radials but we would put them side by side in a bind until we worked through them. 110 PSI in the radial and 75 in...

    Shop parts washer fluid choices.

    I have a parts washer and use solvent from O Reiley's. I thank it is about $80 dollars for 5 gallons. It is only used for special things. Cannot find any of those other products locally anymore and wash a lot of stuff with gas. Dangerous and explosive? I thank it was a Safety Clean machine...

    Ford 4000 won’t even try to start

    Had any of it been taken apart before you bought it? Have you ever heard it run? A friend of mine bought a similar backhoe that would not run and went through all those kind of things. I started laughing when he brought the fuel filter base in. Part of a filter as in the top or bottom of one...

    Boom Bottom Pin Just WON'T Take Grease - Tried These 6 Things Already

    I ran into people at a paper mill doing the porta-power deal. If you clean out the hole under the fitting and fill it with good penetrating oil and or put it in the hose that helps. Some of those guys even used gasoline ( sounds like a bad idea to me ). Then put pressure on it and many open up...

    Boom Bottom Pin Just WON'T Take Grease - Tried These 6 Things Already

    Plumb up a porta power pump to the fitting and put some pressure on it. If it does not open up put some heat on it. Stop before you hurt the hose.

    Cat D6 A/C

    02601 in the door jam. Thanks. Found 2 relays on the right side of the seat under a control panel. Both have power all the time. No other power with key on and turning on A/C. Swapped relays, compressor still did not come on.
