    Blade Float 2012 Deere 35D

    All, looking to figure out a way to add Float function to the dozer blade on my new 2012 JD 35D. Do a lot of landscape grading work with our minis towards the end of jobs and float on other machines has always helped to leave jobs looking clean and professional. Our older 2000 Cat 302.5 came...

    Essick VR30RE with Wisconsin AENLD

    Hi everyone, picked up an old Essick vibratory roller over the weekend, model number VR30RE, and I'd like to do as complete of a service on the unit as possible before I put it to work this summer doing some driveway surfacing at the farm. The roller is in relatively good shape for its probable...

    replacing engine mounts cat mini excavator 303.5 (2002)

    4AZ01260 is the S/N - Thank you very much! I agree, basically need to do everything short of actually pulling the motor, but if I can work my way around some items that would be great! Trying to not have to drain the hydraulic system, coolant, etc. if at all possible, just extra work later on.

I have all bolts removed (I dropped muffler out, removed seat and panels to get to rear right one, but now I'm to the point where I need to figure out what else needs to be removed/loosened/etc for me to actually lift the motor up...

    Cat 302.5 Hydraulic Thumb Relief

    There is an aux section (I believe they call it power take off), however there's no relief valves installed that I can see. I have the parts manual for the machine and it matches up with what we actually have, and there's nothing to adjust. There are at least 5 other relief valves in use on the...

    Cat 302.5 Hydraulic Thumb Relief

    Hello, first post here but I've been following along for a while. Very helpful forum! I recently installed a hydraulic thumb on our 2000 Cat 302.5 (4AZ01260) and have been reluctant to use it yet because I think we need to incorporate some form of relief into the system to avoid having the...
