The #26 "Engine Temp Switch" It is supposed to trigger the #25 "Warning Alarm" and it did not. Alarm is...

    Case 580SL II parking brake alarm

    I had a alarm on my series 2. But it was in alarm all the time like engine temperature or oil pressure. It turned out to be the engine temperature sensor. It has 2 engine sensors in the coolant. One is for the guage and the other for the buzzer alarm. But this don't sound like your problem.

    2003 Case 580SM (Series 1) Gear Shift Problem

    I have a 580 SL series 2 and it is very hard to shift range 1-4. I have to really get hard on the shifter and say bad things to get it to go in 90% of the time. Other 10% of the time it just falls in.

    Carolina Attachments brush cutter

    You are probably right. I called the factory and that is what they told me to reverse lines at motor. I have not tried it yet. Only problem is when I reverse it the mulching teeth between the blades will be pointing the wrong way. I will reverse it at some point since the blades are gonna be...

    Carolina Attachments brush cutter

    I just bought a extreme duty 72" CA brushcutter. It has the 3 blades sandwiched between 2- 3/8" thick plates. It is built heavy enough but the bolts that hold the 3 blades are actually welded to the bottom blade carrier. The nuts that hold the bolts are locked down in a hex on top blade carrier...

    I just bought my second Tak SS. It is a TL130. Really nice with low hours. When you first start it up cold the red "Line filter warning lamp" flashes and has a buzzer. The machine will not move or operate just like the lap bar is up. After about 3-5 mins. with engine running the filter light...

    What would make my Takeuchi TL140 start and then quit on cold start up?

    The way it just stops and then starts right up it just dont feel like a fuel problem. It just started doing this long after the fuel filter was replaced.

    What would make my Takeuchi TL140 start and then quit on cold start up?

    I am still trying to work the bugs out of this machine. Now every time you start it for the 1st. time each day when it is cold or hot outside it dies after running a couple of seconds. No sputter or nothing it just quits like you turned the key off. After it quits a couple of times it runs great...

    Questions on 2 hydraulic filters on Takeuchi TL140? Type of oil?

    The line filter under the cab is a horziontal small element and the return filter is a large screw on. Does both of the filters need to be changed at the same time? Does the line filter under the cab run a high pressure? The "Operators Manual" says to use 10W-30 or 40W API-CD motor oil in the...

    Where is the most likely place for engine oil to be leaking under filter on TL140?

    Thanks i know this was a stupid question. I just thought someone here may have had the same leak on the same SS. The leak is coming somewhere right under the oil filter/oil cooler housing. It may be the oil pressure switch. I will pull the skid pan under the machine and maybe i can see it then.
