    Anyone with experience opening up a Bosch fuel supply high pressure pump on Kubota V2403-CR-TIE4 engine?

    I'm working on a crank-no start issue for Kubota V2403-CR-TIE4 engine in a Hyster H60FT 6k forklift. This is the common rail Tier 4 emissions engine that I think is quite common in many applications. If I keep the forklift, I may put 10-20 hours of use on it a year so not looking to toss many...

    Hyster H60FT P177 crank-no start; need help with pulling codes

    I'm working a crank-no start issue on a Hyster H60FT with serial P177V02769N with the Kubota V2403-CR-TI-EU3 type engine. I think it's a tier 4 engine from what I can gather online and it's throwing a code or multiple codes because the the engine fault code light is lit up on the instrument...

    Freezing temps down in the south...

    Every time we get below freezing down here in the south, we act like it's a tragic hardship. But for me, it just humbles me for those north of me where it's a daily way of life for a good chunk of the year. When working with or on heavy iron with this weather, it's more dangerous, everything...

    Hose type for side shift and other carriage attachments? Hyster H80XM

    Hyster H80XM fork with sideshift. I'm resealing the side shift and would like to replace the hoses that feed it but I can't read any numbers on the hose. These hoses are looped in the mast and thus bend/flex with every up/down movement of the fork. I'm assuming these are not standard hydraulic...

    Options for transport or load insurance for heavy equipment?

    I have a specialized, ex-military 5-ton military truck, that's being transported by a licensed and reputable local owner-operator from FT Worth to Austin, TX. Since this truck is tall (12' 5"), it will on an RGN and lowered a bit by letting air out of the tires to keep it under 14'. To verify...

    Troubleshooting Stanadyne DB2 injector pump

    Stanadyne DB2-831-6278 that's used on the military hmmwv's that went through complete rebuild. It has the 6.5L GM 8 cylinder that apparently was very common back in the day. Engine looks "new" as paper labels are still attached in a lot of areas with no oil stains so I'm pretty sure it's truly...

    Kudos to the mods

    Just wanted to give a note of appreciation to the moderators on keeping the spammers out of HEF. Within only a few mins of seeing a post about ******* or other junk, the post is gone. I'm sure there are many spam posts that I don't see because of the fast actions of the mods. The mods are...

    How to find parts and component suppliers: Industry expos, trade shows and conferences?

    I have a project that uses automotive 24VDC cooling fans. These are the fans mounted on the front or back of an automotive radiator to provide forced air cooling. We need to step up a bit in capacity so we'd like to find sources of 24VDC cooling fans similar to the ones used in small to mid-size...

    Small Cat tilt cylinder: Take to Cat dealership or regular hydraulic shop for reseal?

    One tilt cylinder on my older Cat VC60D forklift started leaking pretty badly so I'm taking it in for a reseal. And I decided to go ahead and do the second one as preventive maintenance since I'm pretty much in it. The couple hydraulic shops I've called said they're on a two-week backlog...

    Shipping a couple D7Fs overseas by container

    I like watching C&C because he does a lot of videos on ex-military dozers and I've learned a few things here/there but these two videos blew my mind. They're containerizing a couple ex-military D7Fs to be shipped to Africa which I never thought be cost effective but it must be. Maybe our...

    Solar battery tender or trickle charger recommendations?

    Anyone have good luck with solar chargers that keep batts at a good state? I always isolate my batts on my yellow and green iron by using the disconnect switch but they still degrade over longer periods. And my disconnects truly disconnect the batteries so there is no phantom or parasitic...

    Looking for recommendations on temporary machine sheds

    What are the current thoughts on temporary sheds to protect equipment from the elements? Due to property tax reasons, I can't build a permanent shed (or any structure) on our ranch until we make it our homestead but a 'temporary' one is acceptable so looking for ideas on what type of structure...

    Hyster H80XM series K005- looking for manuals

    Just picked up an ex-Navy Hyster H80XM forklift. I have the Hyster parts manual along with the Perkin 1004.4 parts engine manual but need the service, repair, and operational manuals. Let me know if anyone has a digital copy they're willing to share.

    Determining CAT blade trunnion thickness?

    Are there any places where I can look up the thickness or ball diameter of a Cat dozer blade trunnion? I haven't seen drawings or specs for these types of parts but that doesn't mean they don't exist. This is the main trunnion bolted to the undercarriage. Specially trying to figure out a D6T...

    Cat VC60D forklift- looking for parts or operation manuals

    Just acquired a military surplus Cat VC60D forklift. It's in pretty good shape and was maintained by the Air Force which is why I decided to give it a chance. I thought I would find a military technical manual for parts or operations but have not been successful. And I'm not successful in...

    Rome blade breakdown for shipping

    There's a Rome clearing blade coming up for auction near me that supposedly fits an older D7. It's a typical website auction where you can't inspect the blade in person but the pics seem show it's in decent shape. I'm assuming these things are designed for "easy" breakdown for shipping. Just...

    Cat D7F 3306 making engine oil (suspect fuel from transfer pump)

    Engine Serial: 08Z94098 Engine Arrangement: 5R8357 My 'new to me' D7F military surplus dozer appears to be dumping fuel into the crankcase. Oil level was slightly high when I got it but it's rising fast and has the typical diesel smell. I might have put 2 hours on it since I got it a few...

    Swapping blades on D7F- what fits?

    I'm keeping an eye out for an angle blade for my D7F but not sure what blades are a direct fit. Since the angle blade has the horseshoe arms, I'm assuming that I'm limited to the D7 family (maybe D7E or D7G) but no idea. I looked across the internet for info on distance between the trunnion...

    Thread size for the Cat final drive plug part no. 4B-2363?

    These are the plugs used across most of the older Cats final drives, bevel gears, etc. so I'm posting in the general forum. I need to change the bevel gear oil in a 941B but don't have a have to capture the 16.5 gallons all at once when I pull the plug. I can only get about 5-6 gallons at a...
