It works for now, Ive got a hydraulic leak at a fitting on the left tilt ram forward roll. I tightened it, nothing happened the cheap part of me says wait till it explodes... except last time that happened with my case, I got a golden showerLooks like you got it working good.
It is a lot faster than that other loader you had.
no luck diagnosing it, I made a 20lb slide hammer and had no luck. I talked to a guy at cat that only works on the 3044c engines, he said its common to have to buy a whole new head for new injectors lol.Quite the project you've got with this machine. I have the same machine and a very similar issue with running rough at 80%- WOT. have you had any luck diagnosing the issue on yours? I've installed a set of injectors. I made a slide hammer to pull mine. Wasn't bad after making the tool
Ill look into this. I chose that track because that road was ruined from the flooding ironyI love the Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble with the Texas Flood tunes.
I think the blue smoke is from air being sucked into your fuel system somewhere, causing the smoke and the miss.
scary aint it lol. Ive chosen for the time being to look the other way. Ill have a peek into the problem when I finish the road here soon.That's a lot of blue smoke and no black smoke at all from working hard.
I did, using a 21lb slide hammer, penetrating oil, vibrating them with a hammer drill and twisting with a wrench... I'd like to think I exhausted all my efforts lol.Replacing the head for injectors ??! Smh. Have you put a wrench on them and twisted them free? I took the air filter out and the front engine lift point off and used a medium size crescent wrench to break mine free and be able twist them then used the slide hammer to pull em.. they didn't break free easily
I did, all the compression strokes sound the same, and its spiratic,Try spinning it over with the starter with fuel off to see if you can notice any compression loss. Miss may not be injector at all.
