    955l will not turn over

    I had the same thing happen to me with my 955K two weeks ago. I had shut the machine off while I ran a truckload of dirt. I came back for the second load and the machine would not start. Ammeter showed a draw so I took the side cover off and smacked the starter with a hammer. Machine fired up...

    M-11 cummins accelerator based cutout test

    If the truck runs ok, I would not worry about it, but if it seems low on power those injectors are where I would start. I think that particular test cuts off the injector and records the rpm drop that is then used to determine if the injector is good or bad.

    Cat 303.5 CCR Throttle Issue

    We had a similiar issue with our Cat 303.5, one day it would not idle down, stayed wide open, cut it off and brought it back to the yard and then it would not idle up. I replaced the throttle control switch and it fixed it! It was pretty easy to replace.

    Found a pair of 977s today...

    I don't know about the value of the machines, but I think that scrap value would be a good start in purchasing them. I like the fact that she wants to check around on the scrap value. Remember everyone wants to get a good deal but nobody wants to be taken advantage of, this includes you and her...

    AR400 Dump Body?

    I would say it is only the walls and floor that is AR400, I agree with you that to build the whole thing out of AR400 would be a waste and expensive. We have on OX Body Bed that came with the Hardox option, it is only the walls and floor.

    Equipment Demos?

    To back up Steve's post, Cat is not the only one with strict sales areas, we run into this all of the time based on where our home office is located at. By the mailing address we are thrown into a separate sales area, but because of the location we are in and have been for the past 12 years we...

    What can you do for a trashed dump bed?

    I have been trying to convince the Boss that dump beds are "wearable items", in that, you have to plan to replace them after awhile. Our oldest one is 10 years old, we haul gravel, dirt, asphalt, old asphalt chunks and concrete chunks. The sides are dented out, the floor looks like a...

    2 Speed Axle

    Ok now I am confused:confused: I talked to the owner the other night and he decided he wanted me to fix it, whatever it takes, so after thinking about the replies from here and talking to a friend of mine I came home today and removed the cover from the 2 speed unit and guess what-it had...

    2 Speed Axle

    Komatsu you described the operation perfectly, that is exactly how it works. When the test light is dim it is because the motor is trying to get the spring to shift the fork, the fork will not budge so the motor keeps trying. The owner was going to come and pick it up but I have not heard from...

    2 Speed Axle

    Let me clarify, when I wired up the motor and tried it, it would not shift. I jacked the rear of the truck up and tried it and still no shift, I can take a plate off of the 2 speed box and disconnect the linkage to the rear end and the motor will work like it should. I reassembled it and tried...

    2 Speed Axle

    Update, the motor was fried and could not be rebuilt, I found one at NAPA, found a switch, found the limit switch and rebuilt the unit. I installed it and it would not shift to high, removed the link to the rear end and the motor worked like it should. The problem is in the rear end. I finished...

    Responsibility of truck owner & driver now charged!

    I agree with 412neal I have to keep a close tab on my Mack's brakes and I drive it very carefully. but when I am in one of the company's trucks I never really think about it, I always felt the liability would be on them, I guess I am wrong:beatsme. A jury would probably hang me anyway since I am...

    Clutch Replacement

    I agree it is all on how the truck is set up. If the motor mounts are on the bellhousing and not the transmission that makes it faster, also how the floor pan in the cab is configured, on most trucks you can take the shifter boot and part of the floor or the dog box out and have good access to...

    detroit diesel powered macks

    Hold on a minute, I meant whovever came up with the idea of putting a Detroit in a Mack was sick and disturbed, not dynahoescott, in fact I am glad you asked the question because I had forgotten about Roadway running them in Macks and my dad drove them! When I think of Detroits I think of old...

    2 Speed Axle

    I am working on a 1969 Chevy single axle dump truck with a 2 speed axle. A guy brought it to me to run new wires to the axle and replace the switch. The switch is missing and the wires looked ok. My question is I have never messed with one of these before and after looking at it I would assume...

    detroit diesel powered macks

    My dad retired from Roadway, drove out of their Winston-Salem terminal. That facility had their rebuild shop there with a dyno. I can remember when I was little going over there and the scrap metal dumpster would be filled up with blowers, sorry to hijack this thread, it just brought back some...
