    Portable generator won't put out electricity

    I let the generator sit for a few days and tried it again and the drill wouldn't spin. I did the same flash procedure and it worked again. The drill would start spinning slowly and after a few trigger pulls it would spin faster. Does that mean the capacitor is bad? I am only assuming that it...

    Portable generator won't put out electricity

    Update - I did as ol'stonebreaker and YouTube said and it actually worked. The drill ran slowly at first, but gradually picked up speed.

    Mini Excavator travel motors 90W gear oil

    Having a hard time finding 90W gear oil. Would 80W-90 work for the travel motors in a Bobcat mini excavator?

    How to remove Bobcat teeth from bucket

    I decided upon Hensley 156 adapters and flare teeth. Seems like the best of both worlds. Thanks everyone!

    How to remove Bobcat teeth from bucket

    I don't have a gas axe, I used a small wire wheel, a few hammers, chisels and a small torch. This bucket is on a Bobcat 322 mini excavator. I'd like to replace them with something wider, as I dig on top of pipes quite frequently and would like to minimize the damage I do to the existing pipes.

    How to remove Bobcat teeth from bucket

    So I spent way too long trying to get them off and finally did. They have a twist style shank, I think willie59 is right on. Unfortunately, I ground just a hair too much off one of the keepers, so I decided to just have them all cut off and start over with spade teeth.

    How to remove Bobcat teeth from bucket

    I contacted the company that makes Mitsubishi Seiko Esco type teeth and showed them the pics. They were no help. Might be faster and easier to cut everything off and put Bobcat teeth on from scratch.

    How to remove Bobcat teeth from bucket

    I've seen that as well. It says Mitsubishi Seiko and maybe C400 on the tooth? Looks like they might be the Esco brand. There is no play in the tooth.

    How to remove Bobcat teeth from bucket

    I forgot to mention I don't believe this is a Bobcat bucket, but I have no idea what it is. Here are a few more pics. It says Mitsubishi and something else on the bottom, I'm trying to figure out what model # it is.

    Portable generator won't put out electricity

    4,000 watt portable generator w/ Honda engine. The engine runs fine. When it was last used in the spring, everything worked fine. Now, it won't put out electricity. Checked the breakers and they seem fine. What are some easy things to check?

    580 SL losing power while digging

    On a semi-related issue, the hand throttle has been getting stiff. Any areas of the linkage to check that could be the likely culprit? The foot throttle seems fine.

    580 SL losing power while digging

    I haven't seen any black smoke at all. It does seem to drive worse up hills than it did before, but it was never great in 4th gear anyway.

    580 SL losing power while digging

    Fuel filters have 300 hrs on them, book says to change at 500 hrs. I should check the screen on the fuel inlet, haven't checked that before.

    580 SL losing power while digging

    I should specify that I've dug in this same area and same depth several times before and the machine did fine. It seems as though it has gotten a little weaker more recently. I'll try it at full throttle next time and see what happens.

    580 SL losing power while digging

    I didn't know I was supposed to run at full throttle. I've never seen anyone run a backhoe at full throttle while digging.

    580 SL losing power while digging

    1999 580 SL Series 2. Using a 3 ft. bucket and digging in dirt that's not particularly hard digging, it seems like it would lose a lot of RPMs when the bucket was near to getting full. I was running about 1,600-1,800 RPMs while digging. Any thoughts on what to check?

    94 International 4900 ABS light won't turn off

    Single axle truck, DT 466 engine. Found out that there wasn't a bulb in the socket, now I know why. The light won't turn off. I didn't find a fuse in the cab labeled ABS. Anything simple to check before I have to take it in for service?
