    Service Indicator Reset

    What year truck? How many miles? call the rental company and inform them of the light being on. This will soon turn into a non running vehicle, starting with a derating situation then progressing worse. It is involving parts of the now "NEEDED" emmissions controls installed on on road trucks...

    Opinions on this trailer damage, please

    You mean they never completed the reconstructed title on this? It had snapped webs in front of the axles. How is that holding up? I would never pass this hitch area in a inspection.

    newbie trailer question

    My thoughts exactly. Not to mention what pressures are put on the metals when slamming. Control of the machine during loading say if your brakes are not fucntioning up to par. Come Digger242j chime in here. !!!!! How many close calls did we have over the years??

    I said never again but I did buy another Lincoln 18 volt grease gun.

    I get 4 to 5 tubes in warm weather and 2 to 3 in winter weather.

    JD 624G loader starter will not disengage!!

    Where there any shims on the old starter? If so, not putting them in with the new unit could be a cause.

    If you see it let me know.

    This was a ring of thieves in the area. They used a rollback type tow truck to yank it up on the bed, from resident reports when questioned about it. Funny, How a certain salespersons customers were all robbed........

    trouble shooting john deere 892 elc

    KISS, Start with checking every connection for dirt/corrosion. Bad grounds??? Blown fuse or bad breaker. All of the above would not cost YOU if you do the checking. One more thing possibly the exciter may have taken a permanent vacation....

    IR P250/WCU question

    Checking in again. On further examination, The shut off selinoid was "backyard" wired into the altenator wiring. This was part of the cause for shutdown when returning to idle. Seems alternatorsdon't make enough draw to hold in the run position.

    Pure guess here as it's been sometime since I have filled a 955. Around 40 U.S. gallons. That would get you in park,so to speak. As for the seat, Not sure on that one $$$$ go back to CAT:beatsme or look for a local seat repair place and rework yours.

    My 580B gets painted

    Model families and improvements to that series are what change them to a "B" ,"C ","D", ETC. Capability such as lifting weight, lifting reach, digging depth are some things that come to mind. Example: 480 case is smaller than a 580 case backhoe. The 580 should have more power and ability...

    Cylinder repacking advice requested

    Personally, I don't have much knowledge with your cylinder in question. Just pay attention to the way you dis-assemble the unit and the way seal lips are facing.
