    96 michigan l90 start

    Im doing it properly. At least I think I am. There's two buttons in the cab. If I press that preheat button in the up position and click the key just past, it glows for about 50 seconds. I do this multiple times and she still wont fire. its getting colder up here and its effecting her much worse.

Ill...

    96 michigan l90 start

    I'm going to attach some photos. it looks like there's a larger wire going to the preheated coil on the intake. also, there is a small 1/4 pic line that runs to the intake and back to the injection pump side, my finger is on one of the photos for this line. sorry for bad pics, I have a flip phone.

    Good morning all, I'm looking at a 04 john deere 644j with 10k hours. I have not looked at the machine because its across the country. Anyway, its listed that it needs a brake job. Whether that means the parking brake doesn't hold or the wet brake system is failing, I'm not sure and cant get...

    644e

    hey guys. Just picked up an early 90s 644e John Deere. Got a great deal...has 20k hrs but rebuilt at 15. Anyway, it's been sitting for a few years. It fired right up and runs decent.

    05 volvo l60e transmission problem

    I guess I'll test it and see what outcomes are. The book says you need to pull cab and pull tranny out. I think I can drop trans and just lift up the rear of machine to get it out. Is it a can of worms to tear down tranny or pretty straight forward??
