    Bobcat T770 intermittent slow to lift

    Having trouble with my T770 lift function. This is intermittent, and it's worse when cold. Seems to be getting more frequent. The lift function gives slow operation. However if it lifts slowly, often I can release the joystick then if I lift again it works normally. Sometimes it may repeat...

    Case 550G-open or closed center hydraulics?

    I'm looking to add an auxiliary valve to my 550G so control a tree bedder that I'd like to pull. It looks like I can remove the two threaded plugs from the end of the hydraulic valve stack and add my valve onto there. Has anyone done this? Can anyone tell me if this is a closed center or open...

    Case DL450B Dozer/CTL

    Anyone have any info to share other than what's on Case's site? If this will do what they say it might be a very good fit around our place. Most of my use would be heavy duty CTL stuff with a little dozing. I like the idea of steel tracks on it.

    Bobcat Hydraulic Couplers-living a short life

    I'm having trouble on my T770 with the hydraulic couplers. To be clear, these are the ones where the attachment plugs in. I'm having to replace them about every 30-40 hours here lately due to internal leakage. When they fail a bucket or grapple won't stay open. It will close by itself and...

    Case 550G Info/Manuals

    I just purchased a Case 550G dozer but unfortunately it didn't come with a lick of information. Also I'm not finding much online about these machines. If anyone has operator's or service manuals they could share it would be greatly appreciated. I've read through some older posts about the...

    Cat 236B3 no aux hydraulic option?

    Just purchased a 2010 236B3. I'm a Bobcat guy and not familiar with Cat. It's plumbed for auxillary hydraulics but I can't figure out how to operate them. There's a rocker switch on the right joystick that looks suspicious. Is this supposed to operate the circuit?

    Deere 250G Turbo VGT Actuator

    I'm having some trouble with a VGT actuator on my 250G. I recently purchased this machine used, 6400 hours, seems to be pretty well maintained. Just for curiosity I checked the codes about a week ago and had a couple of codes, and 641-07 VGT Actuator Mismatch was one of them. All was running...

    Deere 544K service manuals needed/flywheel repair

    I have a 544K that has some teeth missing from the flywheel ring gear. Does anyone have a manual (or better yet-experience?) that covers this? Need to know how big of a job it is. TIA
