    I have that manual. It doesn't give any specifics on engine removal.

    I've tried a few dealers. All the guys that worked on them are retired.

    1985 Liebherr 612B Engine Removal

    I have a 1985 Liebherr 612B Track Loader. The engine threw a rod threw the block. I need to remove the engine. Can anyone provide some pointers? I've pulled lots of car engines but nothing like this.

    299D No regen

    I wish I would have fixed it when it went to Level One. Maybe it would have regenerated. When it goes to Level 2 your done. Level 3 derates the engine.

    299D No regen

    Part of my question was answered. The fuel temperature sensor is one of the variables that influences dpf regeneration. Today I hauled it to the Cat dealer. They hooked up their computer and got it regenerating immediately. They agreed that was the problem. I was in and out in 45 minutes...

    I did not know that. I wonder if there are any companies that can hook up the machine remotely and do the regeneration?

    I got a quote from a company today to do a delete on the DPF. Essentially, they hook up to your machine remotely and reprogram it. Then you have to go in and remove/bypass the dpf filter. They want $3,600 for a 30 minute reprogram job. Seems excessive to me. Looks like I will haul it to CAT...

    Yeah. I just disconnected the negative battery cable.

    The irrelevant codes are about the bucket sensor--it's been like that forever and doesn't affect anything. I don't know what you mean by battery isolator. Does this machine have one?

    I replaced the DPF myself. I had to . The machine derated to a crawl. CAT had to come out when I was done and hook up their to computer to tell the machine I replaced the DPF. No other relevant active codes. E1239-3 is still active. It has around 3,800 hours on it.

    Got it wired and the fuel temp code is gone. Still getting the "conditions aren't met for regeneration". This goes back to my original question: is there a list of conditions that have to be met? btw I replaced the dpf filter two years ago and about 300 hours ago.

    yellow Signal wire was like 0.02 and the Black ground was maybe 24-26.

    I believe I found them. The connector is the most rear one (or the left one when looking at them). On the yellow signal wire on I got good resistance. The black wire has no resistance.
