    JLG 450ASII controls on platform stay on after letting go

    Yes you will definitely need the analyser to repair this one. Each function has a different different acceleration and deceleration setting for the electric over hydraulic controls. Best idea would be to get a technician to restore it to factory settings. Once you have the analyser and password...

    2006 cat th460b telehandler hard to start

    Sorry to read the thread too late!! As soon as I started reading I suspected that pump! These are hand overs from perkins, and the cause a whole lot of trouble, from engines hunting to dieing underload to not starting at all. We carry a spare pump in the truck at all times. Just fail for no...

    Tigercat 822C

    Well said deeretracks, it's amazing how many urgent breakdowns we are called to when the 'fault' is clearly explained in the ops manual or decals fitted to the machine. Most common I get is the emergency steering pretest on cat loaders!

    l1850 letourneau

    The lincs system in letourneaus is very complicated, a lot of information, multiple can bus systems. Also the seating position is very low, very different feeling from say 1200's or 994's. What are everyone's opinion who have swung spanners on these? The good point is the 4000 series engines, no...
