    Takeuchi TL10v2 G/H Aux switch

    Hey, I am hoping somebody can help me out here. On the Takeuchi TL10v2 High flow machine there is a row of rocker switches on the left hand console by the joystick. One of the switches controls the G and H pins on the attachment electric connector. I was hoping somebody would be able to tell...

    289D Camera Software/Hardware Issues

    Sounds to me like you have a bad connection on the camera harness. There is a round connector close to the camera, then there is a 4 pin deutsch onnector in the cab. The connector in the cab is over your right shoulder if you are sitting in the seat. You will have to remove the gray interior...

    Adjusting highflow hyd pressure down?

    Without a jumper installed on the work tool electrical connection you will get 23 gallons per minute flow at 3340psi. When you install a high flow connector (or put a jumper wire across pins B and K on the work tool connector) the machine will go into XPS mode which will give you 32 gallons per...

    239D cooling issue

    It would be pretty easy to measure the resistance with a multimeter. If you didn't feel like doing that then I would start with something around 5.3 ohms

    239D cooling issue

    Ask them to run through the fan calibration procedure while you are there. It only takes a couple of minutes to do it. Min fan speed should be 1000rpm and max fan speed should be 2900rpm, +-50 rpm. The machine has no idea how fast the fan is actually spinning, so you could have them set the...

    Cat 277 Aux Hydraulics modulation speed

    is the aux controlled by two buttons or a thumb roller? If there are two buttons then it is an on/off control. It it has the thumb wheel then it is proportional.

    Cat 299D2 Aux Lines Won't Prime

    It could be that you don't have it configured correctly in ET. Go to the machine configuration screen in ET. The second line will say "Machine Configuration". Expand that section and look for "joystick input #1" configuration". Assuming you have an aux thumb roller, you will want to set this...

    Emissions Faults (Technical) - Pls Advise

    A piece of cardboard placed between the grill and the cooling pack will block air flow through the cooler and can help to get the temperature up high enough to perform a regen.

    Emissions Faults (Technical) - Pls Advise

    The "engine de-rate - protect mode against cold temperature" is a feature that is built in to protect the turbo. All it does is limit the engine speed until the engine has warmed up a little bit. It has nothing to do with the DPF or SCR system.

    Ford 555e Low Transmission Pressure

    Alright folks, I think I have finally convinced myself that my transmission is ok. I measured the engine speed using a photo tach on the crank pulley. It turns out that my tachometer is indeed reading incorrectly. When my tach shows 2,000rpm the engine is actually only turning about...

    Ford 555e Low Transmission Pressure

    The light and buzzer to quit when I unplugged the switch. I put a T fitting in my oil gun line so I could measure the pressure while bench testing the switch. The first time I tried it the switch didn't open until I was up to ~300psi. Obviously this was way to high. I kept releasing the...

    Ford 555e Low Transmission Pressure

    Just an update on this. Over the weekend I had some time to do some more investigation. I put a gauge on the port where the pressure switch goes and was reading ~196psi at 2000 rpm. That is assuming that the tach on the machine is reading correctly. I think it may be reading a little low due...

    Ford 555e Low Transmission Pressure

    I hadn't thought of that. I will try to get the fitting out and make sure it is clean.

    Ford 555e Low Transmission Pressure

    Hi All, I recently purchased a 555E backhoe with the power shuttle transmission. The "low transmission oil pressure" light was on when I bought it, but overall the backhoe was in good shape with less than 2000hrs showing on the tach. The backhoe moves forward and backward fine and the...
