    Resonable Charge For Repair??

    You stated that they told you to just buy 2 new cylinders up front but you insisted that they repair these. Ok so they made the attempt to take both apart and were unable to so now you received a bill for exactly the reason they told you to buy new in the first place. Having been on their...

    Go back to the dealer and request a copy of the PDI if you were not given one at time of delivery. They will have a copy in their file and Case has a copy also.

    How Long Can Chains Run in a 40XT Without Oil?

    If the owner had followed the maintance schedual in his operators manual he would have discovered no oil in the chain case while the unit was under warranty. Did the dealer fubar performing the PDI? Most likely did but expecting them to supply parts 3 years later is unreasonable. The...

    If not CAT who then? Are JCB Excavators good?

    My personal experience having worked for Cat, Deere and a few other brands is you cant go wrong buying a Kobelco. Make sure you have a strong local dealer for service support no matter what make you buy.

    New Holland Dozers

    I did see you link and found it interesting. I am doubting we will ever see those loaders being offered in North America. New Holland is pretty much turning the NA market over to its sister company Case. Last I saw NH was only offering compact equipment and one model of dozer and backhoe in...

    New Holland Dozers

    The DC100 were NOT a Case dozer. It was a Fiat branded machine, totaly hydrostic with a Cummine engine.They were built for Fiat but I dont recall by who. The 2 bottons on the left joystick are for blade float and track counter roation. The later NH dozer models were rebadged as Case...

    Diesel engine compression adaptors

    I pretty much stopped doing compression testing a few years back and started leak down testing. Its a much better tool for testing the mechanical condition of a engine gas or diesel and easier.

    Anyone buy from b&r equip in Indiana

    I would venture to say thay are just a iron jockey and buying equipment from auctions. I am willing to bet most of this came from Ted Everetts sale which is located not far from their location.

    How do you diagnose a miss in a Cummins 855 engine?

    Willie nailed it. Use a large screwdriver or pry bar and hold the injector down to find you miss firing cylinder. I have done it that way for years. I dont recall the compression specs off top of my head. Do you have a lot of blowby? Have white smoke from the exhaust?

    Metal in hydrolics

    Replacement of the damaged valve section is the only was to repair that damage and as someone else said valve sections are costly. It does not sound like you were over charged to me. I would look for cylinders having bent rods. This will allow the piston to gouge into the cylinder tube and...

    Got a new truck!

    Nice looking truck! I have 3 diesel F250s that span 83 to 86. That is my favorite body style and the trucks were built to work. They have become a hobbie of sorts.
