    NH C185 Fuel solenoid not getting power

    Thanks, I will try that. I also notice a signal about only 10v when I turned the key off. Like to know where that message is coming from. I have a repair manual and will attempt to troubleshoot from it.

    NH C185 Fuel solenoid not getting power

    Can hear it click when jumper wire attached. Changed the larger of the three relays on a hunch, unit started a few times, now the gremlin is back. Any suggestions? Thanks

    case 1085c dies when using turntable cw only

    Case 1085C hydraulic issues

    Thanks again. I did the switch test from the book. I get 24v as advertised on #57 wire but the switch does not always cluck and sometimes it does not break contact when the arm is raised. I will order a new one to be sure. Also, if I rev the engine to almost 100%, sometimes I can raise the...

    Thanks for getting back to me. I could not begin to get the suctions strainers inside the hydraulic reservoir loose, must need something special to get them out, however, the outriggers work and if there was a suction problem I dont think they would work. I have new spin on filters of the...

    Case 1085C hydraulic issues

    Today I started up this machine and it functioned as advertised. I let it run for about 45 min and still worked good. Let it set for 2 hours and still works good. Tomorrow we take it to a job and see what happens. thanks to you all.
