    The Ultimate Small Dozer

    About 15 years ago (Now 83) I had two properties that needed dozer work. I had two different dozer people out to do some dozer work for me. Waste of money. Could do about as much with my tractor and a box blade with a riper. I decided I wanted to play in the dirt and play with the Tonka toys. I...

    Air Brake Problem

    The bracket that holds the air chamber has two holes. It could be set down to next hole and slack adjuster has a second hole also. Would this give me a little more brakeing leverage?

    Air Brake Problem

    On the cam arm, the clevis is mounted closest to cam adjuster. It has another hole also. If you mounted the clevis in that hole, wouldn't it have alot more brakeing force?

    Air Brake Problem

    Yes slack adjusters are set right. What should the air preassure be at brake chamber? Should it be the same as what gauge in cab says. Other trucker say theirs will lock up. Fully loaded at 26 k you had better give your self plenty of room to stop. I will try and plumb a test plug to check...

    Codes on Cat 3126

    I changed filters, went on a job today, seemed to run fine. I did notice one thing when changing secondary filter was not even finger tight. Just spun off with no effort. I don't know if it if it could have been sucking air. What caused it to smoke?

    Codes on Cat 3126

    Thanks Nige for your information. You probably don't remember it but you steered me in the right directions about 5 years ago when I bought this truck and was having trouble with it. Finally found out the engine was bad. I purchased a used engine and installed it myself.. So I never had the...

    Codes on Cat 3126

    I change oil every 3 to 4 k miles due to the idling. I figure 1\2 hour for each job (200 in a years time would be the same as 8k miles. Again, could this code be from old engine failure or would it have erased itself in 30k

    Why wouldnt my truck start, Cat 3126??

    I have since replaced the engine in mine. Nige was a immense help in providing information. With the new engine, 95% of the time it will start right up. As soon as you turn the key. But once in awhile I have to let it cycle (with the key on for about 30 seconds) before it will start. Is this...
