    I'm looking for an operation and test manual for a JD 225D.

    Scan Tool

    Everything so far has been great, not one problem. On the larger downloads it takes some time to get them finished and installed but other than that I've been happy with them. They do offer the larger ones loaded on an external drive now.

    Scan Tool

    I have Volvo Pro SIS for their manuals. The techtool I did have at one time is no longer supported, so its useless now. The only 2 Volvos I have worked on lately, the TEXA has done a decent job on, so I haven't had a real need for something better.

    Scan Tool

    i have the TEXA system, it works really well on the truck side. The equipment is hit or miss. I just added JD service advisor for AG for $500 from EP catalogs, I love it. It includes all the manuals for everything. That is one thing that TEXA is lacking. I also have CAT SIS and VOLVO SIS from...

    Freelance Equipment Repair?

    Just try to stay debt free. You will be lucky to collect 80% of what you bill and some of them will waste a lot of your time that you can't bill for. If you can survive long enough to figure out who to avoid it gets better.

    Cat ET alternative

    That was my plan too, they give you a week i think to see if you like it or not. I did'nt get all the cables i needed the first few days, so that worked against me.

    Cat ET alternative

    I've had mine a little over a year. The truck side is pretty good. The off road side not so much.

    Anybody use EP Catalogues diagnostic software?

    I bought the Volvo Pro sis from them and it has been great.

    Aftermarket diagnostic software

    I can tell you for sure that it does not work on any John Deere construction machine that I have tried it on yet. On Ag tractors it has been ok. The truck side has been well covered so far.

    Terex S-14

    I remember during one engine swap, the fan hub bolt pattern was different for one, and a few other things had to be modified. That was 20 years ago already. I think Newco was buying the old Terex machines and rebuilding them. I think they also modified larger third members for the axles. The 2...

    Terex S-14

    The 3 or 4 I was around that were from Brazil were still Detroit powered and branded as Newco's. Some of the engine parts would not match up with the American engines.

    850 J cooling fan air flow direction?

    The 750J that I worked on last week blows out the front and runs counter clock wise. Maybe that motor was in the wrong box, it should have a tag on it so you can compare the part number to the one on your invoice. I have seen more than one pump or motor put together backwards too, I've done it...

    850 J cooling fan air flow direction?

    It should blow your hat off if standing in front of the radiator. Looking at the parts book picture, it looks to me like the one shown should run counter clockwise, but those pictures aren't always accurate.

    jcb customer service

    Times have changed. I was telling a customer yesterday, I used to order pallet loads of parts from cat almost daily, and it would be ready at 7 in the morning with no screw ups or problems every time. Now, even if you look up the part numbers yourself, it gets screwed up. Its every dealer, no...
