    Deere machine that used a Funk DF250 transmission?

    What John Deere machines were equipped with the Funk DF250 transmission? My first attempt at a part number search showed a 640D, 640G, 640GII log skidders. Later attempts of the part number revert to the DF250 parts catalog which are no help. Were there any graders that used this...

    Email contact for Schaeffler UK tech support (LuK torsion dampers)?

    Need another path to find the replacement torsion damper for a Terex TS14G scraper with the 5.9L Cummins other than Terex. The big business models most of these companies follow today are not customer friendly. When the OEM (Terex) offers diminished, marginal, or no support, the old way to...

    When is it financially adventageous to rebuild machines?

    I'm talking about the Cat certified rebuilds and others where they strip a machine down to bare frame and bring it back to new condition. Sometimes not in one complete session or as a whole. I've heard reference from the local Cat dealer it's only feasible on the large dozers, loaders...

    When pulling a scraper with a ADT(arctic) chassis...

    Does the chassis manufacturers still warranty drive line failures(Cat, Volvo, Terex, etc.) Those chassis weren't designed to pull scrapers. Does K Tech specify a minimum speed or gear to minimize drive line damage like John Deere does for pulling scrapers?

    TS14 stuck brake shoes on anchor pins- can't remove wheel

    I'm sure this has been dealt with many times, especially on the truck side, but the brake shoes are stuck out against the drum hard. Can't even bar over the driveshaft to the axle. Grease worms have been working their magic on the anchor pins. I have the slack adjuster/S cam backed off and...

    I'm not a scraper operator, just a mechanic. Have only been in this industry for 5 years. Spent 32 years in grain farm machinery operation and repair. I've been impressed with the efficiency how scrapers move yards/meters per man hour or fuel rate. I know with changing weather patterns...

    Why do some line bore repairs not last?

    Or even factory pin fitting. Example: we purchased a JD 380G excavator, ran it to 5700 hours with a larger than recommended bucket on it(66" 3.3yd capacity). It does production loading of clay/loam into haul trucks. There is little rock. The operator is very careful and the machine is not...

    Terex TS14G autoshift option?

    Another TS14G owner in NZ tipped me off about an autoshift option on these machines(ability to operate like an automatic transmission for travel rather than hand shifting). Anybody have any information from Terex about this? I see the plug is located on the cab harness for a switch in the...
