    Using machine with worn rings?

    Oh, I definitely plan to use it. :) I'm actually not too worried at all, I just figured IDE ask to make sure I wasn't going to do something stupid. *** Thanks!

    Using machine with worn rings?

    Ok... so what do you suppose is happening here then? Fictional results? Unusual circumstances? I've seen 75+ psi jumps on worn gas motors, though I've never tested a diesel. Anyone else have input on this?

    Bobcat S175-- error code 05-22 Hydraulic Charge pressure Low

    Ahhh.. just a simple pressure gauge. Cool. Just gotta see if I need to come up with an adaptor to fit the sender threads. Thanks! On the pressure note... I'm fairly certain this thing is good on pressure and the issue is a wiring or sender problem. There has been zero problems functionwise...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    Makes sense to me... the injectors, pump and head were all redone at a local shop, THEN it was taken to the dealer that did the tests shown on the invoice above. Among other things, they did 2 compression tests, one dry with the lower readings as listed on the invoice (#1-300psi, #2-260psi...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    OK... my buddy just walked in with the paperwork from the dealer he took it to. Now I know alot more. You can see by the invoice..... low compression readings on all cylinders, especially with cyl. #2. I'm still thinking I'm gonna run it a while though.... what do you guys think NOW?

    Bobcat S175-- error code 05-22 Hydraulic Charge pressure Low

    So as posted in another thread... I just picked up a Bobcat S175. It's got a warning light on and giving me a 05-22 error code, saying Hydraulic Charge Pressure is low. The machine works well.... no issues with anything I've used it for. If it does indeed have low pressure... if everything is...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    I have a Kubota tractor that does the same basic thing... but since it's ran forever that way, I never worry about it. Only reason I was at all concerned about this is that my buddy was... and he knows more about these things than me. I may still try some Seafoam and change the oil again in a...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    I figure it's certainly worth a shot to try. Since this was a rental at one time, I'm willing to bet it's had plenty of running at partial throttle. Guys like ME who have little skidsteer experience.... running it at lower throttle settings so the machine is smoother. Let's you "ham-fist" your...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    I wasn't aware of that... This is the first I've had/used one. I'll start using it with considerably more throttle and see what happens.

    Using machine with worn rings?

    So here's a couple pics of the smoke. This is at startup, maybe 1/4 throttle or so. It was a bit hard to get pics of since it's not dark or real heavy. It's a whitish/blue color. It goes away pretty much completely when warmed up as long as it's not over about 3/4 throttle or so. I have run...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    Thanks for the input. The rings/glazing is what the closest Bobcat dealer told my buddy.. and charged him a buttload to diagnose. All the injectors have been replaced, the pump and he had head the head redone (basically he kept throwing money at it), and the smoke still persists. That's when he...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    Starts right up, no issues at all really. If I didn't SEE the smoke when its cold... I wouldn't think it has an issue at all. Basically... I've already talked to my local machine shop and they'll rebuild it for me for $1500 if I bring them the long block. Plenty good price, but I have about 40...

    Using machine with worn rings?

    I just picked up a Bobcat S175 from a buddy. It smokes a decent amount when cold, though it goes mostly away when warmed up. It's hardly noticable at idle and just a bit of smoke under load. He had just had the injectors and pump replaced thinking that was why, but it continued to do it. The...
