    Hydraulic Hose Busted for no apparent reason

    Was leveling the other day on my Taki TB-135 and heard the dreaded sound of a pistol shot. It took a second to figure out it was the auxillary circuit, which I do not recall hitting and have never had anything attached to this circuit. Is this circuit always slightly pressurized or do I need...

    thermostat guage not working

    thermostat gauge not working I bought a 2005 takeuchi tb135 that just had a engine out rebuild. I was thinking a wire left off. Called local dealer and discovered it has 2 sensors.
