    Strange buyer's

    3 year rule. If I look at it for 3 years and don’t use it. Adios. Sell, trade, give it away or junk. It’s gone.

    Deere 200 clc hyd. Issue

    I’m going to call it the propel flow combiner valve. #6 and #8 are the evidence. The auxiliary function flow combiner valve is on the opposite side of the mcv on this machine.

    Deere 200 clc hyd. Issue

    That’s correct. He one thing that is different is #2. It looks to be a duplicate of #5. I was thinking along the same lines as crane operator. my thought is that the small pilot like line feeding the cap pushes the spool upwards and when it return, it is slamming into the cap and breaking it. I...

    Deere 200 clc hyd. Issue

    Serial number is 508185. On the bottom of the main control valve there is a section called the propel flow combine valve. Machine will break the cover to the spool in about 10 minutes of run time. Owners have put 2 of them on and I was there for the third yesterday. From what I understand it...

    Kenworth brake lights

    My 2017 T370 s.n.164219 lost the brake lights. Blinkers and parking lights work. Brake switch is working but I’ve got a short to ground on the wire leaving the brake switch. I tried to get a schematic at my dealer but they sent me something not even close. I’ve been trying to caveman diagnose...

    Looking for a service truck with a 14' body and 12k crane

    Mine went north of Fort Worth. Best thing I can tell you is to peruse truck paper daily. There are decent trucks out there but they move fast and aren’t cheap these days, especially 14’ body trucks. 12k crane is even harder to find. A 10k won’t do the job?
