Hey guys long time no talk eh!
Well I hope everyone is making out ok during these times.
I seem to have hit a snag in work though.
I am currently still working well kind of, for a small company. one of the only ones still working here other then a few other samll jobs every one is laid off and most companies have shut down.
The problem comes from a 2008 John Deere 200DLC.
It has 1882 hrs and it keeps stalling when it is working. we have changed the fuel filter 3 times within the last 100 hrs. all hydraulic filter have been changed pretty much every filter has been changed.
it will run for a few hours then it will bog down and then often it will rev up again, but today it stalled continuously. what I have been doing to get it started it cracking the water fuel seperator and when doing that it releases what I think to be a vacum seal. then tighten it and it starts for a few more minutes. then either dies or bogs down. the check engine light has come on numerous times with all the bells.
My boss says he is working on the dealer to come out today or tomorrow with a proper techy to have a look at it. but because he has an outstanding bill with them they do not want to honor the warrenty. I dont blame them. I would do the same.
How ever I was wondering if anyone has run in to the same problems with thier machine or the same machine. I have thought maybe a blocked line but when I blew all the lines out they all seems clear and the filter are not dirty. my only guess is now that something in the computer area is telling the machine to stop getting fuel.
Damn I hate computerized machines.
PS I love the Deere 200, when it is working, it works great. very powerfull, very quick and very smooth. I have no complaints with it other then right now with the mystery problem.
I am lucky to have a job right now, even tho im not getting paid at this very point. in oct 2008 I was laid of from a company that said they had 15 years of soild work lined up. so when I started for them in jan 2008 I thought I was set for life at this company. I was employee 588 out of 650 some odd people.
we had 37 excavators (60's up to 345's), 9 wigglys, 4 dozers, 4 backhoes, 4 Highway gravel trucks with quad axel dumptrailers. 5 10ton packers, 6 fullsize loaders, Full scale rock crusher setup worth 7 million, and various other pieces of equipment. aswell the owner was 90% owner of a readymix company.. now that company has 5 operators working barely 40 hours a check and a few labours.....
I was lucky to get laid off when I did and find a job. but yea it was insane to see a company of that size fall flat on its face.
Thanks for the help guys, and best of luck to everyone here and the times we are dealing with.
