    D8H Starter solenoid rebuild or replace… see pictures

    Your right, I came to that conclusion later then I wanted. In hindsight all the symptoms were a bad starter. Sadly if you see in another previous thread.… I was chasing my tail with 1 bad fairly new cat battery. Made me think the solenoid was sticking yet at this point it was a bad battery also...

    D8H Starter solenoid rebuild or replace… see pictures

    My error on calling it a spec sheet, I knew it was a test sheet when I posted it. Good eyes. I bought it from my friend on 25 years at a parts place for all things heavy equipment... tractors, excavator, semi’s trucks.. he gave me a no hassle return or replace on the starter. Got it in...

    D8H Starter solenoid rebuild or replace… see pictures

    It is, I was able to source a direct replacement from Remy Usung the serial number off the original starter. However at no point was I asked if it was a wet flywheel housing. Should I be concerned? I figure Remy would know if the serial numbers match.

    Starter solenoid has been sticking. Cat say there is no replacement part for it and they do not stock this starter anymore. Unfortunately the local starter rebuild guy passed away here in central Maine, he was a great guy. I like to either rebuild or replace… any advice or leads would be great...

    D8H/K Fleco root rake experience?

    Im burning too, id like to do more burning the days im clearing but that is not always possible where i work alone often. Plus i can always burn after its fenced in and cattle are in a different pasture. A chipper would be nice and would add to regenerative pasture building as well like burning...

    D8H/K Fleco root rake experience?

    I may be a little picky with how much dirt I was taking with the blade, and also eager to try this out more. The big plot Im clearing was cleared in 1993 and grew back with lots of soft wood… pine cedar and fir. I cleared it again 4 years ago and the biggest stuff im seeing may be 2 feet dried...

    D8H/K Fleco root rake experience?

    Hello all, Just swapped the blade and mounted this root rake I have had for a while. The mount went fine and it seems to be a nice tight fit. Ive been clearing 20-40 acres in various spots on our farm. A big chunk is about a 30 acre section of woods that im turning to pasture. All the wood has...

    D8H winter electrical situation

    Well my battery tester and charger seemed to be the problem for the most part along with weak batteries. I removed the batteries and put them on a low amp charger for a few days each… reassembled and the Dozer fired up like nothing. when trouble shooting I was reading 80% and 60% on each...
