    Perkins 404C Engine Throttle control Question

    This particular Perkins diesel is on a Cooks Sawmill, and dates back to around 2007. At the "back" of the fuel pump, there are two "levers". One is the throttle, easily identified. The other, which looks similar in shape and size but seems to only have two positions (maybe on and off?) is...

    Cat D6C/D/H vs. 2003 Deere 750C ?

    Looking to buy a medium sized dozer for mostly forestry work and some grading of existing roads. Not much stump removal, mostly clearing skid roads, skidding logs, grading gravel roads after the heavy equipment chews them up. Was pretty far down the road on a D6C or D (or maybe an H) - my...

    Heat related problem with Komatsu PC35MR-2

    I recently bought a used PC35 with about 3,000 hours on it. I knew that it had this issue when I bought it, and I got an appropriate discount, but now it is time to diagnose and repair. I am very handy, but have zero experience with this kind of hydraulic equipment. The machine works fine...
