    A/C Compressor Parts

    I have an A/C compressor off of a John Deere tractor that I am trying to find internal parts for. John Deere part number is RE57936, which I believe is a Denso 6E171. The only thing that appears to be wrong with it is a broken reed valve. I am looking for a set of reed valves and seals, but can...

    The fuel shut-off solenoid on an 8.3 cummins is activated by two of these solenoids. One for PULL, and one for HOLD. The PULL solenoid quit functioning, so I purchased another one (Cole Hersee 24063). The new solenoid worked once, then quit working. Got another new Cole Hersee, and same...

    Fuel Tank Sender

    Fuel sender is on an older Tesmec trencher. Original sender was an ISSPRO #9605104. Can’t get another for at least 3-4 months. Does anyone happen to know of another sender that would work? Sender mounts on the side of the tank, towards the bottom. Supply voltage is 12V, resistance shows...

    Shop air dryer

    Can anyone recommend a small air dryer/filter for a shop air compressor? Air compressor is 6 CFM, 120 volts. Used daily, but usually only for short periods. I see desiccant, membrane, and refrigerant dryers online. I’m assuming a desiccant dryer would be best for this application, but prices...

    Roller is used for a top idler on the digging chain of a Tesmec TRS 900 trencher. The service manual says it’s a D4H roller. Tesmec wanted over $700 for a roller, and wouldn’t share CAT part number. Called CAT, they said they needed machine serial number. Parts guy didn’t think he could help...

    2012 F350 has no rear blinkers or brake lights

    My 2012 F350 cab and chassis doesn’t have any rear blinkers or rear brake lights. Front blinkers and the center brake light on top of the cab DO work, but I have no voltage to the back. I thought it might be the Body Control Module, but I also don’t have any voltage to the left or right...

    Has anyone bought any CS Unitec tools?

    Has anyone bought any of this company’s tools? Some of their stuff looks to be manufactured by someone else and rebadged. The mag drills are BDS Machine, which look top-of-the-line, but have a CS Unitec sticker on them. I was considering one of their cold metal chop saws. I’m curious if it’s...

    Took a Parker pump to a local hydraulic shop. Pump number PAVC65BL4A13. Shop took it apart and inspected it, found the port plate had several scratches in it, plus one large pit about 1/8 inch in diameter. They also found that the servo piston had just a little play in it. This is a reputable...

    Cummins 8.3 6CT won’t idle

    Was working on a side hill and sucked some junk into the fuel system from the bottom of the fuel tank. Had intermittent power loss when this first happened. Drained and cleaned out fuel tanks, blew out fuel lines, and installed new filters. Now the machine won’t idle. I am not lacking any...

    Sealing hydraulic tank hatch

    Any recommendations on what sealant a person should use to seal the top of a hydraulic tank? I recently opened up a tank to clean it and the strainer and resealed with high temp Permatex, just cause I had some in the shop. Will hydraulic oil, specifically AW-32, break this stuff down? The...

    My JCB 214S backhoe has significant cylinder drift in all loader functions - lift, shovel, and clam cylinders. Both clam cylinders and one lift cylinder have been resealed. Lift cylinders can be fully extended and the bucket will drift all the way to the ground within minutes. I pulled the...
