    yes, will measure up and confirm if steel tracks bolt to those chains. It was a county machine 4000hrs, i guess they were running on asphalt and doing gyrations:)

    Deere 550H transmission pressure loss

    There is no shaft, straight into the x2 hydrostatic pumps and then hyd pump. I think it’s the torsional dampener on end of flywheel that has said hello. I should have it apart this week if the weather allows.

    Deere 550H transmission pressure loss

    I was running my 550H in the dark and ran into a stump in 4th gear. Lost all gears and transmission gauge reads close to zero. I check underneath and didnt see any huge amounts of oil leaking out, but it was dark and I had to leave for other tasks. The machine is not in a user friendly area:(...

    IHI 55N3 tracks

    I have a IHI 55N that is a fantastic machine, and its time for new tracks. It never gets used on concrete/asphalt and mainly used in clearing bush etc. Would steel tracks for a good option for this 6ton machine, the terrain gets pretty steep and I have been impressed with the rubber tracks grip...

    Kubota SVL75-2 intermittent lockout

    Ok, will check that. I suspect the sensor as you guys mention, and will get into it. it mainly happens on steep ground going backwards. On the hydraulic lockup, you are correct, i was using the continuous flow function, thinking it was a auto open/close feature, but not:0 Thanks for the help

    Vermeer BC1800XL John Deere infeed

    Thanks, i will check this out. I unplugged and replugged all the connectors, no joy, i will wiggle the loom and as you suggest around the pump as well.

    Vermeer BC1800XL John Deere infeed

    No, no display at all which is not cool, the Vermeer ECU has LEDs with writing next to each and thats helpful, the LED next to Engine OK tag is not lit, which confirms that its the motor thats stopping the infeed. Serial no. PE4045T328810 4045TF275

    Kubota SVL75-2 intermittent lockout

    I have a new to me '17 SVL75-2 with 750hrs and a brand new engine(previous owners fault), when driving in tight areas or backing up etc it will intermittedly lock out, and I have to change the rpm's most times to be able to unlock it again. A second issue I have is that when using a root...
