    Takeuchi TL 140 safety relay

    This brings back memories. Had a TL140 with this same issue. Used to kick the panel and work the poor machine hard the rest of the day. However; I remember doing relays and checking fuses and doing all that. Eventually discovered the battery terminals were loose. That helped significantly reduce...

    Isuzu NPR 5.2 4hk1 engine swap

    In case someone search’s this in the future. You will need the Isuzu IDSS software, computer and cables. -Each injector has a flow rate number. The numbers need to be taken directly off the injectors or if you’re lucky, the tag with all 4 injector is still on the valve cover. -There is an engine...

    Isuzu NPR 5.2 4hk1 engine swap

    I’ll try to keep the backstory short… 2013 build year Isuzu motor lost a bottom end bearing and the oil analysis confirmed the failure. A used motor and transmission was found, it’s from the same year as the truck. I swapped the used engine and mated transmission into the truck. Turned the key...

    Cat 314C, not making adequate heat.

    Maybe…. On the machines we have with air conditioning, there is a valve to shut off coolant flow to the cabin heater core. Even if you’re not running air conditioning, it’s nice not to bring hot coolant into the cabin during hot summer days. However, it sounds like engine temperatures are still...

    JLG 340AJ brakes stuck on, hydraulic issue

    It’s easy to spin those in and out. That’s the certainly worth trying. Machine is outside getting ice cold. I’ve got other busted junk to fix at the moment. I’ll be back on the JLG soon! Updates asap.

    JLG 340AJ brakes stuck on, hydraulic issue

    I noticed Danfoss has 4 updates or “redesigned” parts that are directly related to the charge pump on the H1P pump. Most likely I’ll send the pump to a rebuilding service and stop hoping for an easy fix. Picture shows debris in the charge filter. Every pleat has green rubber… bummer

    JLG 340AJ brakes stuck on, hydraulic issue

    The JLG tech rep did suggestion something similar. His suggestion was to isolate the main pump. Keep the suction and return to tank hoses in place. Remove all the other hoses and cap/plug all removed hoses. Gauge the 3 test ports and check the numbers against the specs. Need some -16 plugs and...

    JLG 340AJ brakes stuck on, hydraulic issue

    Not yet. That was also a suggestion made from the JLG tech rep. His plan was to completely isolate the main pump and test pressures. waiting on -16 plugs/caps to do so.

    JLG 340AJ brakes stuck on, hydraulic issue

    I did removed the adjustment valve. No visible damage to the assembly, both springs in good shape. Usually 1 or 2 turns will make something happen on the gauge. This time… no luck

    JLG 340AJ brakes stuck on, hydraulic issue

    Working on a JLG boom lift 340 AJ. It developed this issues rather abruptly. The brakes will not release at low or mid engine speeds. If you select full engine speed, the brakes release enough to travel the machine in either direction. At low or mid engine speed the brakes drag enough to cause...

    what is the best coupler system out there for a john deere 27d

    Ran an old Takeuchi TB016 for years with a pin grabber and loved it. Best thing was you could put the buckets on backwards and cut tight to walls and foundations. The mini/micro machines don’t have enough power to bust the quick couplers. I’ve used a 35D and 50D with wedge and they have...

    Takeuchi TB175 Coolant level/oil pressure shutdown?

    Repaired a number of Takeuchi machines with the alarm triangle warning symbol flashing and shutting down the machine. Did anyone work on the machine recently and this problem occurred. 1-check fluid levels 2-check basic sensors like the temps, oil pressure and hydraulic temp/pressure. The...

    Bucket and tilt both fall

    3 possible reasons: 1. The piston seals for the cylinders are worn or damaged. 2. The loader valve assembly has worn seals. 3. The pilot pressure to the loader valve is allowing the loader valve to stay partially open OR the linkage to the loader valve is out of adjustment OR the electrical...

    Bucket and tilt both fall

    Let’s get some basic info first… Hours on machine? Machines overall condition? Visible hydraulic leaks? What control system does your Bobcat use? Joystick only, lever steer and foot pedals. Will the lift arms also fall with the machine off? How fast do they fall? How quickly did this problem...

    Takeuchi TL150 travel issue.

    What is the overall condition of the machine? How many hours? Hydraulic fluid level, type and age? Typical use for machine? Major repairs in the machine history? Have you removed the belly pans to physically look at the tandem drive pump? Did you bleed air out of the pilot lines? I suggest...
