    T250 Double trouble

    It's too late now but NAPA used to carry a aerosol repellent called Mouse Out for combines and other equipment stored for a time. I used it once but cannot say whether or not it worked just did not have any mice.

    Old(er) Bobcat 643 drive issues

    Also check your bronze filter in the port block , take the center hose off and it is behind it. If the motor went there may be trash in it.

    JD Model 8875

    I think it would have been made before 2000 , the axle offset could be that someone reversed the rims on that side also. Has too many issues for 9k though.

    seat switch or seat belt

    Put a jumperon the connection for the under the seat switch to check it. When you run it in service does the display work? On a older one I would suspect the starter interlock relay also.

    96 new holland lx 565 no aux. Hydraulics

    I think those detent mechanisms are balls and springs so if you take it off slip a plastic bag around it as you do so to contain the parts. Otherwise parts will fly all over.

    If you try to remove the spool from the block it has to be perfectly clean of paint or corrosion or it will scratch the bore and then leak forever.

    96 new holland lx 565 no aux. Hydraulics

    Sounds like the spool is stuck/rusted from no use. You can try to free it up or remove the spool and clean it. Never had one out, mine on the 665 was sticky and would not go into detent but with working on it and penetrating oil it works fine now. The detent is on the rear of the spool so to...

    96 new holland lx 565 no aux. Hydraulics

    Take the cover between your legs off and the control valve is under it. If the spool is stuck may have to work on it a bit to free it. The operating linkage for the aux is rather flimsy so it may just be out of adjustment also.

    New Holland Skid Steer L170

    I'd take the battery cables off, clean them and tighten . Check the grounds also. Otherwise it may be the starter relay.

    Bobcat advice - moving clay

    Check out the tooth bars before adding teeth, it can be taken off and on in minutes as there are only 2 bolts. Big thing for me was that when trading machines I just adapted the bar to the new bucket and the price was about the same as individual teeth.

    Bobcat advice - moving clay

    If you get a tooth bar for the bucket it will work as well as it is going to and cost is about the same as mounting teeth on it. Then you still can have the smooth edge when you want it. Other option I have seen here is the rezloh edge, cost is a little more but those who have it do like it.

    Cutting edge on back of bucket?

    What was nice was the way it shaved just a little off the hard packed gravel driveway and filled in minor hollows.

    Cutting edge on back of bucket?

    Mine already had 3 strips 1/2 thick and 4 wide from front to back so it did not change height much at all.

    new holland ls 185.b

    Have you checked the engine oil level since the overrun incident? If it was sucking oil into the turbo it may be low but I don't think many engines survive that experience.

    Case 40xt white smoke

    Do not overfill the crankcase oil, if overfull at all it may be getting some of that. If the oil level is in the safe zone that is good enough. Generally valve seals or guides being worn will cause oil smoke at startup and then clear up.
