    Help needed on TerraGator

    Got it squared away, The TCU was bad. R100 is a “power up” indication i believe. The new one will display R100 while keying on but will immediately go into N1. So its not actually a fault code. No issues now, i can start the machine and move with no waiting, no more dashed lines. Thanks for the...

    Help needed on TerraGator

    Working on an 8144 TerraGator, John Deere 8.1 with the Funk powershift. Long story short, the machine will not shift out of neutral and the gear display will flash 4 dashed lines “————“. All of the sudden a code will appear “R100” and the display will show neutral. I can then move the machine...

    Cat 259 b 3 left track won't move.

    I usually use a slide hammer. If you have access to a welder, you can make an adapter from the plug, weld the plug to a bolt (or nut) with the same thread as the slide hammer and youll be good to go. Try to get the edge as clean as you can around the plate so youre not fighting against a ton of...

    CAT 277B boom hydraulics work fine, not moving

    When you release the parking brake and try to move forward, does the engine RPM drop like its bogging down? This is usually a surface indication that the parking brake is not releasing. The fact that you still have implement function leads me to believe that you still have normal charge...

    Deere 862 Transmission. Wont Move

    Thanks for the reply. Its just a plain 862 with no designation. It has electrohydraulic controls for the bowl, like “rocker switches” on the right side console, if that tells you anything. All i have is a parts book for the machine, no service manual. I wanted to remove the top cover off to get...

    Deere 862 Transmission. Wont Move

    Working on a John Deere 862, Went down on a job and wouldnt move. Checked basic things, parking brake is released, trans is full of oil. Engine runs fine. I didnt have many tools with me at the time so I did what I could to try to isolate the issue. Im familliar with the electronic shift...

    CAT 299D won't move

    You have the “Basic” display with one gauge (fuel) and 6 buttons to the right, correct? The DPF lamp which is illuminated (as you have stated) generally means the machine is in regen but can also indicate a fault in the aftertreatment system.. its possible that the machine is derating itself...

    Settling in to a new job

    I dont know if i feel better or more angered that im not the only one with these issues.. o_O This seems to be a common place with the whole "corporate" atmosphere of dealerships. They have this hierarchy of people and preach about being a team, which is good, teamwork makes the dream work! ;)...

    Freelance Equipment Repair?

    Not to hijack this thread, but Ive also thought a lot about this, im at a dealer now but think about venturing out into a field truck of my own (doing away with work politics and what not :mad:). The only thing that scares me is all the tooling that is needed for newer equipment, dealer...

    Just out of curiosity, turn the key on and listen if you can hear the fuel pump run.

    Cat 299 xhp speed sensor problems

    Also.. keep in mind on these. The machine ecm MUST receive a valid frequency from from the speed sensor in order for the code to become inactive. So you need to start the machine and move it after you think youve fixed something. Even if you fix the problem, if all youre doing is turning the key...

    Cat 299 xhp speed sensor problems

    Heres what you need to do. If you tip the cab up you'll see the machine ECM on the back (It would be behind where the back of the seat is but under the cab), there are 2 big square connectors on the ECM. One is "J1" and the other is "J2", youll see the J1 and J2 cast into the ECM next to each...

    Drive train extremely sluggish

    Sometimes an active fault will derate the machine and wont allow you to shift into the high speed, your problem could be totally unrelated to the powertrain. Id go for the can access first and rule that out as KSSS suggested

    Cat 259 b 3 left track won't move.

    Did you ever get this figured out? Does it lug down when you move the joystick forward like its stalling the pump? Doubt Its your problem because you would have a fault code, but make sure the pump solenoids are connected. Sometimes youll unhook stuff to make things easier to change a hose and...

    850k tracking issues

    I have a Case 850K that's having problems tracking. With the tracking percentage at 100% the joystick moved forward will move the machine normally at first but then it will start to get slower until its at the point where it will completely stop moving. Its had some electrical issues in the past...

    BOMAG roller building pressure inside reservoir

    Just an update this morning. Went to lowes and rigged up a little pressure tester with a 100psi gauge. I sealed and charged the reservoir with 20psi, watched and waited and could find no leaks. A little disheartening but I did make an interesting discovery, I have a mechanics stethescope with a...

    BOMAG roller building pressure inside reservoir

    alright ill have to see, there was some speculation as to when the filter was actually changed. Ill throw a new one in and see what it does, even if it doesn't fix the issue, it could very well need one anyway

    BOMAG roller building pressure inside reservoir

    Honest, I can't tell you now, I'm not at the shop and I can't remember. So you are saying air can be entering through the seals in the pump? It is not making a whining noise to my knowledge but ill have to check again
