    Hyster H50XM transmission slippage

    It's a 1994 model. Forklift just came back from the forklift mechanic but he is a Nissan guy, not use to working on Hysters. After new transmission oil and filter it now slips when trying to drive up a ramp when machine is cold but no longer slips when warmed up. Did not do that before fluid...

    Deere 310D worn out yoke?

    My Deere has almost 10,000 hours. The yoke at the rear end of the driveshaft for the front wheels seems to have worn down inner splines. The slack causes the shaft to whip and therefore causes a driveline vibration on the road. My question to you all is will the new Deere yoke be much better or...

    Volvo BL70

    I often see this model for sale at a better price than Case, Cat and Deere of the same year and hours. Are they a lesser machine or are they cheaper just because they are less popular? Are they harder to get parts for?

    Dump Trailer

    OK Andy 01. Trailer is not near my home at the time so I can't give you accurate numbers but I post more photos an the basic idea. I used a 22.5" semi trailer axle that I cut off of the cross pipe to get the same wheel width as my backhoe. Each backhoe will need a slightly different tongue setup...

    Got a winter question for those who live in the freezing parts.

    What do you do when you arrive to your TLB and there is a 1/2" thick of solid ice from freezing rain on your cylinder rods. Last week I took the propane torch to my rods in fear of damaging the seals. Am I nuts or can ice damage the seals?:beatsme

    Can't find Hygard oil

    Went to a JD construction dealer (Brandt) today to buy Hygard transmission/differential oil for my 310D. To my surprise they didn't have any. The stock man said they now only sell Valpar oil. I have never heard of that oil brand and was leery to switch. After calling 2 other Brandt Tractor...

    Need a starter expert

    My JD 310D seems to have starter issues. It cranks very slow when engine is cold and warm. Almost doesn't start. Both the two batteries test full charge and 850 CCA out of 1000 while disconnected from the connectors. All cables and connectors including ground are in good condition with no...

    JD 310D logic module question

    My 1992 310D, ser# 782511 now has the oil pressure light and the stop sign and alarm on when the ignition key is off. With engine running all looks normal and warning is off. If I disconnect the battery and reconnect it the light and warnings are off. As soon as I turn the key to run and back...

    In-well water pump question

    Looking for someone with knowledge in the water well field. I've got a building located on a property with bad water. The nearest place for a dug well with good water is about 1,100 ft. away. The well will only be about 14 ft. deep and it will be uphill from the building so water will be...

    Extendahoe sliders lubrication

    Do you guys lubricate the nylon sliders? If so, with what? Mine makes sqeaking noises. I have not been using lube. I've got the old type stick with the inner section on the bucket end and I don't want the dirt to stick to the stick. LOL.

    Backhoe seats

    Whenever I find something good at a good price I like to tell all my friends. I have recently been bothered with degenerating discs in my lower back creating pain in my right leg. I have a Cub Cadet Zero turn ride on mower that was beating my back to death. I began searching for a good...

    Tell me why

    Boom rubbing on stabilizer feet Tell me why my Deere 310D had paint scraped off of the boom sides from rubbing on the stabilizer feet (I've seen other 310Ds with the very same scratches) but all other models don't have these scratches. All modern backhoes have stabilized legs angled back...

    Longest paint job ever

    I've painted cars and trucks for 13 years, painted a forklift once and helped paint a few school busses and fire trucks. But painting a backhoe is more time consuming than any I have ever done. So far I have scraped of a lot of grease, pressure washed the whole machine, sandblasted all 4 wheels...

    New cylinder leaks after on 300 hrs.

    I purchased this cylinder new almost 2 years ago but I have only got about 300 hrs of backhoe use before oil started running out. After calling the supplier, they only offered to cell be a seal kit. There is a lot of play between the rod and the gland. I would say the gland has been bored out...

    Armour tires

    Anyone here heard of this brand? Saw a Cat backhoe with Armour tires on back. Looked OK. All I know is they are Chinese made. Any one know how they are?

    310D stabilizer leg pins but no bushings

    This is disappointing. I was to order new pins and bushings to tighten up my woobly stabilizers. But it seams there are no bushings. I assume the leg holes are worn more than the pins. (see photo pin # 20) If I see things right there is no point to replace the pins. # 19 & 21 are washers and...

    How to remove stabilizer pins on Deere 310D

    The pin and bushing at the stabilizer base are worn and so causes my tractor to move around a little to much while using the hole. The pin is about 2 1/8" in diameter and both frame bosses are about 1 1/2" thick. The pin seems seized into both sides. What is the best way to remove this pin...

    My Deere 310D has Firestone tires on the rear. They are off round buy about 1/2". This off roundness causes unneccessay bouncing on the road. Do most of you have oval rear tires? If not what brand makes round tires?:beatsme Thanks

    Ride Control

    Anybody know if ride control can be added to an old machine like a Deere 310D? Seems like I would need an accumulator, solenoid valve and switch and a bit of plumbing. Is the solenoid valve a double valve for both ends of the loader boom cylinders or is it only connected to the lift side...
