    Safest way to move downhill on a sleep slope with skid steer with a heavy load vs empty?

    Haha i had a close call like that to. I was clearing snow and pushing the snow off a small cliff, maybe 4 meters high. The last meter or so (or 3 feet if you like) towards the edge was sloping gradually down before the drop, and at one point i went a bit too close and my front tires went onto...

    Safest way to move downhill on a sleep slope with skid steer with a heavy load vs empty?

    I own and operate one of those. Really short wheelbase, good for squeezing into tight places. But yeah, very tippy. Without an implement on i can grab the coupler and lift it by hand. Thats a great way to impress people, running around on the rear wheels without an implement. Just the weight of...

    Case 1840 not going forward/reverse but bucket works properly

    Hi Hudd, Case 1840, that's a skidsteer is that correct? If you scroll down the front page some more you'll find another subforum dedicated to skidsteers. Im guessing you will have a greater chance to get in touch with someone who knows these machines well if you post your question there. Good...

    Fiat Allis FR12, ZF 4WG-120 weak converter engagement

    Another update. I checked the length of the dipstick and made shure the breather fitting is clear, so i can confirm that the oil level was between 50-70 mm below output axle center during the following tests. Most of the instrument cluster does not work, so i got hold of an IR thermometer to...

    transmission trouble on a fr 140 fiat allis loader

    This troubleshooting guide: https://centranz.com/troubleshooting/ states warped discs and plates in the transmission as a possible reason for creeping in neutral. That's the best answer i can give you unfortunately. But there may be others on this forum with more knowledge on these transmissions.

    transmission trouble on a fr 140 fiat allis loader

    Hi, Not quite shure what you mean. Does it keep moving in reverse while in neutral? Or does it not move in reverse at all? Regards

    Fiat Allis FR12, ZF 4WG-120 weak converter engagement

    Hi again, Short update on the loader if anyone is interested, i've now replaced the transmission filter and oil. The old oil was not looking too bad, i dont know what viscosity it was but it seemed to be somewhere close to the new 15W-40 oil i added, atleast it was not noticeably thicker. I...

    Fiat Allis FR12, ZF 4WG-120 weak converter engagement

    Thank you for the manual. Ok, so the flywheel housing/bell housing being dry is not a concern? Good to hear. Part of my "research" was from watching this video: Fiat Allis FR12 loader engine removal, where a gentleman is removing the engine of a loader like mine, and the housing is dripping...

    Fiat Allis FR12, ZF 4WG-120 weak converter engagement

    Hello everyone! New user on this forum here, greetings to you from Norway. I recently got my hands on an old Fiat Allis FR12 from 1985. It's not much to look at, but im hoping to make it a reliable tool here around the workshop for those tasks that are just to heavy for the forklift. There is...
