    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    I'm waking up this thread to ask if anyone knows this Bosch alternator. Of the three wires on it, I reckon the one with the arrow in the pic is the field/exciter. If I jumper 12v to that, it should bypass the chewed wire under the cab and let the alternator charge the battery. Anybody agree...

    Where's the battery in a Bobcat E42 X?

    It's not the current model, it's the previous model.

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    Thanks. It's just the first step. After that coat dries in a day or so, I'll put on a thicker coat and wrap it in split loom.

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    @cuttin edge I pulled the dash and took a look see. There are several inline fuses back there and a rodent nest. The fuses all are good and the rodents did not cut any wires, just damage insulation (see pic of Liquid Tape repair). The ignition switch seems to be doing its job. All posts get 21v...

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    I will take that switch out and examine its contacts, clean well and lube. Worst case, Mauldin parts being made of almost pure unobtanium, I'll wire in two switches to replace the faulty ignition switch. One for ignition and a momentary pushbutton for starter. I have the heavy steel door that...

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    It's on the IP. and it's a known weak point. Just lube it up, nudge the little arm a bit and you're good for another few months or more. But when that sticks you get crank no start. BTDT.

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    I was hoping you'd chip in, as we have the same machines and so far I think there are only two of us with MX13XTs in the forum. I tested the wiring and found that she'll start up just fine if I jump 12v to the starter solenoid with a little thin wire. So the key isn't sending 12v to the solenoid...

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    Thanks, all good stuff. But this machine doesn't have any safety nanny stuff, don't think it ever did. Checking fuses is one thing I shoulda done ... doh ... thanks.

    Cummins 4BT(?) no crank, voltage good, started a week ago.

    I don't see a place in this forum to place Cummins questions. Did I miss it? I'm not actually sure it's a 4BT. The CPL is 2857, engine family is 1CEXL0239ABA and it was built in 2001. It's in a MX13XT-01 loader/grader/ripper, no pump disconnect that I know of. But it's not even trying. Any...

    Atlas lifts ... anybody run one?

    I'm about to drop a lot of cash for an Atlas 12,000 lb 2-post lift in Abilene TX that requires 14'9" of overhead to ceiling. One buddy runs 9000 lb Atlas lifts and likes it, but the 12k is a beast by comparison, to lift our F550 class trucks. Anybody running one? Do you like it? Supposedly...

    ISO roller compactor with remote control

    I have a Wacker trench roller with remote control. I rent a bigger roller if I need one for a job. But I'm tired of getting hemorrhoids from sitting on a vibrating roller. And the guy I hire sometimes to run machines for me says the same thing. Does anybody know who makes a big roller...

    How to get crappy TSC paint off my roof?

    We paint roofs with a brush. Nobody can see it but me and my tall sons. Yeah we're 7.3 guys, PSD or IDI, and only have one 6.0 at the ranch. I do like the 5R110 a lot. But for towing or a long road trip the 7.3s get the nod every time. Carry a 10mm wrench and a spare CPS in the glove box ...

    How to get crappy TSC paint off my roof?

    We paint our roofs white for the Texas sun. On my '99 and '00, I used Rustoleum and it still looks fine. On this '04 I used Tractor Supply house brand Majic paint. It started to peel after 2 years, makes streaks down the windshield too. I saved a few bucks on that gallon, but now I have to...

    89 alerts?

    Howdy guys, The forum logged me out, I got busy, and now I have 89 alerts. Wow. Sorry if I didn't reply. I don't have time to look at 89 alerts, so PM me if you need. Looking at my life savings go down from inflation, I decided to finally build a shop my dump and trailers will fit into for...

    Grading different soil a

    Have you tried ripping it first? Makes the cut a lot faster. 1.5' is a lot to cut with a grader, imho. No skiddy on the site? My blade is only 10' but it will just skip if I try to dig into hard stuff. We have this limestone around here in Central Texas that only a tracked skiddy or dozer can...

    Dynapac CA1300D high fuel consumption

    I rented this 10k lb vibrating roller for a large shop pad. In about 3 hours of use it consumed 5.5 gallons of fuel. This seems high to me. But then it has all that Obamao smog junk on it. None of my own machines have DEF, DPF etc. Is this high fuel consumption a product of all the modern...
