    977L fuel pressure issue

    New to me 977L 14X serial number. After about 45 mins I start to notice a lack of power and the fuel pressure gauge starts to lower at the same time. Still well in the green area of the gauge but a noticeable power loss. I'm building terraces with it from the bottom side (pushing up 2:1...

    Cat 951C transmission issue

    The s/n tag is missing from the lower dash. On the left side of the engine block I found 86J455. That is all I can find that resembles a s/n. This machine is a recent purchase as a bit of a project. When I went and looked at the machine I was not able to actually work the machine because of...

    Komatsu pc200 lc-7

    A little back story, I bought this machine from an insurance company about 5 yrs ago. When it was delivered it didn't have any batteries in it. I happened to have and 8D battery and a group 31 battery sitting around so I put them in it to get it off of the trailer. Needless to say I just left...

    Hetronic wireless remote

    A few weeks ago I bought a service truck that has an Altec D800 crane on it that has a Hetronic wireless remote. The crane seems to work fine with the manual controls but I can't get the wireless remote to do anything. I don't have the model number of the remote with me at the moment but it...

    1953 Kenworth

    I have a question for you experts on here. Today I had a guy send me a few pics of this old KW. It's part of an estate that the siblings are trying to settle. I asked the guy what engine it had (no pic) and his reply was "a big diesel". Assuming it's the original engine, what diesel engines...

    963C with a dozer blade

    I'm contemplating buying a 963 and putting a dozer blade on it for terrace work. Leaning towards a 963C because 963D's are mainly out of my price range and the few 963B's I have seen in my area have a ton of hours on them. Basically trying to figure out what blade would be a good match for...

    Cat D6D

    For starters this is kind of an odd situation. A operator friend of mine is trying to finish up a terrace job because the owner/operator of the dozer got in a bad traffic accident and is currently in the hospital. That being said I don't currently have serial number for the dozer. I guess the...

    A neighbor has a 1985 Pete 359 that has been sitting for a number of years. It has a 3406A cat engine. About a year ago I asked him if he was interested in selling it and he said he wasn't ready to sell it at that time. Well he passed away about 6 months ago and his daughter is wanting it gone...

    Flags on oversized loads

    I'm curious, has the law been changed that we no longer need flags on oversized loads? This past week I saw 3 separate oversized loads with no flags on them. Two of them only had the signs on the front and back and the third had signs and strobes but no flags. Maybe it was just a coincidence but...

    Final grade for a building pad

    A local farmer is building a new shop and I am helping them with the building pad. The building is 120' x 150'. The concrete guy wants it to be level within 1/2". After being told that and picking my chin up off the ground the building Rep said if we can get it within 2" that would be plenty...

    Komatsu PC200 LC-7 issue

    Hi, I have a komatsu pc200 lc-7 that just randomly cuts out. Imagine just turning the key off and then right back on. It has done this since I bought the machine @ 3 years ago. It has gone from doing it 1-2 times a day to now doing it 2-3 times an hour. So, basically now its getting pretty darn...
