    Caterpillar Transmission

    I tried it this morning and the alarm didn't work after I reconnected it as we disconnect it during lambing due the fact it sounds like a foghorn and with our neighbours right next to the yard and us working late I was threatened with strangulation by the boss of our family (she makes Marlon...

    Caterpillar Transmission

    CAT TH62 electrics

    I dare say that it is a bit late but I found that the 3rd service is designed to keep a low pressure when it isn't in use and so that you have to fit a pilot operated valve that works on both lines. The problem that it has now it that when we go to start it in the mornings and...

    CAT TH62 electrics

    Just thought I'd say I found what was wrong the lucas ignition relay was sticking.

    Poly tanks for fuel?

    The only trouble we have had over here is with thieves bashing holes in the bottoms of them to nick a couple of gallons before leaving the rest to go everywhere. No so good on combines which can take over £500 (nearly $800) to fill up especially when you have to then buy a new tank too.

    Before there were telehandlers there were?

    In our case it would have been the fork, hand and then foreloader. Dad loves telling me how before they got a foreloader they had to clean out the sheds by hand. At one point a guy comes along trying to get my grandad to sign up as a member of the land owners association and asks to speak to the...

    Any Advice on buying a CAT TH 360B

    Thanks :) All the guages seem to be working its just the hours well I guess the power that won't switch off even when I've turned the ignition off and removed the key. It will stop the machine but it seems as though its shorting somewhere and so still geting power.

    Farm Work

    I don't know about in the Us but over here those with horses can be some of the worst people for paying up. A lot won't pay until they want you to do another job.
