    ZX160LC-5N hard starting after sitting

    I have Hitachi ZX160LC-5N, SN 1FFDBC70CDE230116, with 1900 hours. If it sits for an extended time (at least a few weeks) it immediately fires, but dies and with some cranking starts up and runs fine. It acts like it lost prime, but if you use it every few days it's just fine. It sat for 5 weeks...

    Bobcat T590 noise in reverse

    I have had a 2018 Bobcat T590 since it was new, now having about 160 hours. At around 40 or 50 hours it started making a "what I call" a noise in reverse similar to the noise it would make going into a pile of gravel for a bucket load similar to just before stalling out. Everything on it works...

    Newer Excavator Pollution items

    I currently have a 1990 Hitachi EX 120. It has been a good machine for me, but am considering something newer. For the type of digging I do the 120 has been fine but leaves a little to be desired when pulling stumps. I would like to stay with Hitachi but they are hard to come by in my area. I...

    John Deere 544G & 624G loaders

    I have been looking for used loaders and have narrowed down to a John Deere 544G and 624G. I have tried the 624G at the dealers lot. It seems to be a decent loader, however there is some electrical problem for the shifting, bucket level stop, and boom float. They can get the thing to go in all...

    Fiat Allis 65B grader

    Was wondering if anyone has thoughts on these grader? I have a 503A Galion grader with an IH diesel and 10' blade. I use it for grading back roads to lakes and woods. I like the size of it but the gearing of the grader is poor. I usually use 2nd gear which is a little slow, 3rd works for good...

    TO4 or TO2 transmission oil

    I have a Dresser TD9-H dozer. It has 2900 hours on it and I have put on about 950 hours of that. The previous owner changed the oil in the transmission and differential steering clutch area at around 1000 hours ago. The previous owner gave me a service record of it since new. The service manual...

    Hood Hinges for a Ford LTL 9000

    Been working off and on since summer fixing up a 95LTL 9000 Ford dump truck. Coming a long pretty well but am in need of the hood hinges. Was wondering if any one knew where I might locate a set. I think all the years (82-97) of the LTL's would work. Thanks! FWD

    International Dresser 530 transmission

    I have had this 530 loader for about 10 years and it has been a good loader with a few minor problems that were easily corrected until this problem. During the summer months I use it usually just to load a 10 yd truck with gravel. Occasionally I use it to run gravel through a grizzly and...

    Galion 503 Grader

    I bought this 503A grader this winter. It has a UD-236IH diesel. It started poorly and didn't run very well once it did start. Found out that the injectors were installed improperly. The glow plug was below the injector line instead of above as I found out on another site that plug needs to be...
