    CAT 430F2it backhoe fuel filter/screen?

    I don't know about your machine, but I had mine that worked for a while on idle, but died within 30 second under load. I though the filter in the bottom of the fuel tank was blocked. That's not the case. But on the entrance of the low-pressure pump there was a mesh filter jammed at 95%. I...

    JCB 215 Series 2 Backhoe - Perkins Diesel Dies Under a Load

    Hi, When I read the title, I though of a problem I had with a MF 50 HX. But reading your post I think you already covered that. I'll still try. The problem I had was the engine would die about 20 seconds after putting it in gear and trying to push some snow. Idling was good, even for...

    Service Manual Trading Post

    I have the workshop manual (WSM, FSM) for Kubota L3130, L3430, L3830, L4630, L5030 tractors. I am looking for the service manual (or user's manual in clean electronic form) for the Kubotak KX121-3 excavator. I did not see any sticky manual trading post in the excavator forum. Best Regards...

    AW32 hydraulic fluid ok?

    Hi, Please note that ISO viscosity for hydraulic oil (10, 15, 22, 32, 46, 68, 100...) is not related to motor oil (0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20, 30, 40, 50) or to gear oil viscosity (75W90, 85W140, etc). You can only compare the viscosity within one scale. Check...

    Welding the swing cylinder

    Hi, I did fix a cylinder yesterday on a J5. I can't tell you how long it will last, but the leak was gone when I tested for 10 seconds. However, it was at the other end of the cylinder., so I unhooked the end to repair, removed all the oil, extended the cylinder as much as possible so all...

    Hydraukic tank over flow

    Oil is lighter than water. On a barrel, if there is rain and water can get in, it will fill the bottom and push the oil out on the top (yes, that's a mess). Could that happen on your loader? jf

    Torque tube and Transmission contamination

    I have the same problem with my MF 50 HX. I haven't found where the water can come in. It becomes a real problem in the winter, when the oil is cold and miniature ice block forms in the oil. Then it clogs the priming pump intake filter. One way I have found to drain some of the water is the...

    massey ferguson mf50 backhoe

    Somebody from Australia also told me he can't access. I guess it is related to where you are from. You could try to use an anomizer (wronly spelled I guees) that will hide your true IP address. Or a VPN service (usually paid for). Try to go out in North America and it should work. I am trying...

    MF 50HX with water in transmission

    Finally I found the solution to my trouble. It was the solenoid on the top of the transmission. It was jammed. I unjammed it with a screwdriver and verified it operates correctly with 12V. Thank you for your support. Regarding the compressed air, I am going to consider that to find the leak...

    MF 50HX with water in transmission

    How to debug transmission hydraulics? how to measure pressure? Finaly there was a open on the yellow-purple wire. I located the open in the bulkhead connector near the left foot (where the wires go from inside to outside). I checked that the 2 solenoid were clicking when I apply 12V directly...

    Massey Fergusson 50 HX transmission problem: solenoid problem? (with Diagram).

    Hi, I refilled the transmission with oil and I tested it. The steering seems to work (at least, when the wheels are lifted from the ground), indicating that the pump is working. However I have no forward or reverse. :( I tried to figure out if the problem is electric or hydraulic. Here...

    More news, with pictures now. Hi everybody, I tried to investigate the problem with the suggestion I received. Here are the pictures (everybody likes pictures!) First the cooler on front. Yes the oil goes in the cooler right after the steering controller: There is no oil leaking out...
