    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    I build harnesses for race bikes in the World Championship (WorldSBK). They CAN do it, it's just a better use of resources for me to build harnesses and their fabricators fabricating...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    Update: Boost gauge now reading just over 15lbs when under big load. Injection pump was not getting to full throttle because of slop in multiple linkages between pedal and injection pump. Pedal was also bent down and preventing full throttle operation. Need to recheck rpm, but machine is a...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    Unfortunately, I have to go down to Southern California to build a wire harness for Roland Sands Designs. https://www.rolandsands.com/bikes Working with those guys is always fun and challenging, I just wish I could keep working on the A62 and get it dialled.... more snow is on its way...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    I did find a small line coming off the back of the intake tract--it was no longer connected to anything, it was an old metal line that was crimped shut. Looks like it was a signal line but what it connected into, I have no idea. Looked for anything it may have connected to but couldn't find...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    --Baby sh!t (more like baby p!ss!) :) ....Nice. --I will definitely do a few flushes... maybe I'll fill it (briefly) with Seafoam to help break down any varnish/ rust/ gunk in there. --I figured that pigtail was a breather, it's a small metal pipe... I'll pull banjo fitting and shoot compressed...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    Sorry.... you are correct, failed to mention that. I did replace fuel filter before this started. The fuel filter housing has an unpopulated "out" port.... I think I'll look for a pressure gauge to install there. That way I can see pressure right before it enters injection pump.

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    Loosened the shut off cable, worked it back and forth and pushed the rod in-- still pops out. Had the engine idling and raised the rpm slightly and depressed the lever-- did NOT induce a smoke show. Opened the injection pump oil level bolt-- what looked like rusty WATER came pouring out...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    That excess fuel rod is in the out (off) position in that picture correct? I can depress it and it pops back out to that position and it appears that is the out position based on the boot appearance. I have never gotten really heavy black smoke out of the machine-- not even close to a street...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    Bought it from pevious owner who stated it sat 8-10 years. Someone ran it out of diesel and it just sat after that--that was the story I was told. I put 50 gallons of diesel in the tank which is its capacity so fuel should be fresh. It isn't rolling coal when it is stalled in a pile, it...

    How many psi should the turbo on a Ford A62 loader be producing?

    As the title implies, Im looking for how many PSI the turbo should be producing on a Ford A62 wheel loader. I installed a boost gauge and the need sits around 0 at idle and then it will max (briefly) at 7psi and typically sits around 5psi at full throttle. I am about to install a tach so I can...

    Ford A-62— been sitting 8-10 years —need advise

    I just picked up a used Ford (New Holland) A-62. Build date 9M06B have not been able to decipher build date. Chassis stamp on frame almost looks like 1983 but I was thinking the “9” in the build date meant 1979. It’s been sitting for 8-10 years but fires up and hydraulics work. I am new to...
