    Seals leaking in winter

    Why do final drive seals seem to fail when it gets really cold? I’m in north east pa and had a few weeks where it was below zero at night and highs in the teens during the day. I had the double face seal on two machines leak during the cold snap. One has 8000 hours on it so it has some wear on...

    Takeuchi tb175 wiring problems

    I just acquired a tb175, the thumb doesn’t work and the two speed tracks don’t work. The second aux hydraulics also don’t seem to work(I don’t hear a hydraulic restriction when I move the thumb screw and those lines are capped on the stick) a quick search showed me these are known for electrical...

    stacking bin blocks

    We’re using ready mix blocks. It’s for a dairy farm so cost is a determining factor. I was trying to talk them into precast T or L walls but the cost was too much compared to the bin blocks. The wall will be around 140’ long and 12’ high then stepped down every 36’

    stacking bin blocks

    I have a job coming up stacking bin blocks (waste concrete blocks 2x2x6) to retain a bank. I usually lean them back some but always wonder if I'm leaning them too much or not enough. I was wondering what you guys think? I was sort of thinking 2" per block

    Deere 590 auto idle

    Thanks a lot for the help so far. I was running it on a job last Friday and looked it over again. I'm pretty sure I saw the two pressure switches on the front of the valve bank. Back by the pump there is a small hydraulic filter and a small valve body looking thing that has either 3 sensors or...

    Deere 590 auto idle

    This machine has two small hydraulic cylinders that actually open and close the throttle. I just don't know where to start looking for the parts that actually decide whether to open or close the rack and how those cylinders are told to open or close

    Deere 590 auto idle

    I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on how the auto idle function works on the d series excavators. Mine used to work, then worked intermittent, and hasn't the past year. The light on the dash will come on when I turn the switch on so I know I have power that far. I'm guessing there is a...

    951c steering problem

    I bought a 951c with a right brake issue. It wouldn't turn to the right at all, only disengage the drive. I tightened the brake band some and now steers some while going forwards and a little less in reverse. The steering pedal on that side still goes right to the floor, I'm planning to pull the...

    Galion 503 trams oil

    Does anyone know if the trans and diff share the same oil. I bought this machine today and the shifter fork was froze up so I had to drain the trans oil to fix it but the trans doesn't have a fill or check plug but there is a fill on the back of the diff Thanks
