    WHERE TO GET A SHOP MANUAL

    I've bought a few off Tradebit. Out of those, had one software based one that I couldn't get to work. Seller wouldn't respond to my requests, Tradebit refunded my money without any hassle. I was pleasantly surprised.

    3406b peec help please

    I recently bought a (sitting for 3 yrs) truck from an auction, that needs a bit of tlc. S/N 8tc13254 Engine seems to run well, it's in a '91 IH 9300. I have a front housing leak to fix below the compressor (seems common on these according to you tube). Getting a 25 code (boost sensor) need to...

    Diesel starter, couple cranks then disengages from ring gear

    Checked out the solenoid coil, ended up being the drive clutch in the end. Had one on a core that swapped in. Funny, a drive from the first core I tried wouldn't fit properly. Makes me wonder how they overhaul this stuff. Bins full of parts and try them till they fit? Doesn't seem practical to...

    Diesel starter, couple cranks then disengages from ring gear

    That's a great lead, thanks. Something like that makes sense to me. I'll have a go at it with a multimeter. I should have enough parts to make something work out of this. I have some old starter cores from the tractor, unfortunately the current one is a Wilson and for some reason uses a...

    Diesel starter, couple cranks then disengages from ring gear

    Working on my MF396 with a 1006-6 Perkins. I have an issue where the engine will fire and disengage the drive. If trying to start cold it takes forever, as you have to let the starter stop spinning to try again. The bendix is engaged by the solenoid through a lever (I'm sure pretty common). I...

    EX200 Series Differences

    Nice machine, I love the simplicity of mine. The serial should be stamped into chassis (heavy plating) in front of, and at the base of, the main boom cylinders, might hace to scrape back the paint. I couldn't find any other chassis identifier on mine. I ended up downloading my manuals off...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    Got a chuckle out of that description, aptly named. It is definitely held by the ears from rotating when I swing the blade. I do suspect, though, that the c-frame is preventing it from pulling out. When I first put the blade on, the c-frame portion was a bit "burred" from the piling rake, which...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    I left it under pressure and went clearing with it. Unfortunately I didn't bring anything to tighten it anymore. Will bring back a breaker bar and pipe tomorrow. Yesterday when I was pushing it around with my excavator I noticed that the blade appears to be breaking free from the center pin...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    Well, it won't give. It must be bent or swaged in somehow. I tried every way with the impact on it. Wishing I'd better prepared the hole before putting the pin in.It will have to stay in for now, will look into an exothermic torch kit. Would an air arc torch work for this length of pin? Or do...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    Nige, could very well be right on the alignment and deforming the pin. Probably should have fixed the hole before installation. I figured with the amount of force I focused on the pin it would have come out. With Jonas' idea I can probably unload the bore a bit by manipulating the blade using...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    Some great ideas, I'll try welding a bolt on and rigging up a puller arrangement with a pipe, plate, nut, and impact. I put a lot of up force with the excavator and jack, maybe it's sideloading the pin and holding on enough to prevent movement. This way I can try unload it, moving the blade...

    Any tricks for getting a blade center pin out?

    When I bought my TD20G it had a piling blade on it (no center pin used) and came with a tilt blade separately. Last year I turned a pin out of some 80mm excavator pin. Hole was kind of worn on the upper hole, c-frame and lower hole were pretty good. I machined a step in the pin to accommodate...

    Post pounding questions-- with a bigger excavator- Hyundai 290

    Think you'll find, there's no bumping just a push. I was set on buying a plate compactor, till I went out and pushed posts in as fast as I could move along and get to the next one. Trick is doing it at the right time of year. I try to do my hard ground posts in the spring, rocks seem to just...

    rear of cab windshield for CATERPILLAR 320C NOT CLEAR Issues

    Funny, where I'm at, it's cheaper to buy laminated safety glass than lexan. You'd be looking for uv resistant coating, which i think is pretty common. I've cleaned up the yellowing and minor scratches on my excavator with plastic polish, works pretty slick. I then clean my lexan(poly-carbonate)...

    Post pounding questions-- with a bigger excavator- Hyundai 290

    I'm not sure how much fencing you intend to put in, but for the cost of a breaker you can buy a lot of posts (which will last upwards of 25 years). If you plan it around the frost coming out of the ground in the spring you can simply push them in with the excavator. I have clay and rock ground...

    hitachi ex200lc1 pilot control valve whine.

    Can't say as I've pursued it any further. With everything in spec, and it operating fine, I chalked it up to old age. Let me know if you find success.

    EX120 - Swing motor gear oil leak (Pictures)

    Had the same problem with my ex200, had grease in the swing drive when I bought it. I didn't trust that it would lubricate properly like that, and didn't want to end up eventually rebuilding it over a bad seal. Came out and apart easily. Mine only required a new seal. Bearings and planeteries...

    490E Overheating & Electric fans

    Works for me I installed a set with a toggle switch, I just run them full time when it's hot. I have the thermostat control to install, but I temporarily installed it as an experiment, don't think it's worth adding now. I know my machine shouldn't need the additional cooling, but after all the...
