Oooooooo.... sounds like the pump needs to come off to me. One last hope would be that the throttle linkage isn’t adjusted properly. Have you worked the linkage at the pump while checking for fuel? Anyone have other ideas?
I am curious, what do you mean no fuel is getting past the injection pump? The priming system should take care of injection pump priming, that’s what it’s for. I’m assuming this SEE ran in February and March so we can assume the injection pump worked then. As always, these comments are...
I cut mine out in a fit of rage last year. Perhaps that was a self inflicted gunshot to the foot, but I loath clutter and poorly installed systems, so for me it simplified the diagnostic procedure. To each his own. I would love to watch someone diagnose an issue using the STE/ICE wires, in...
Agreed, in cross section that thumb is an I-beam and isn’t gusseted for twisting. I just installed one on my SEE, and I think maybe I should throw some chunks of half-inch in the channel on the bucket side. I’m sure it doesn’t help that it’s just normal mild steel.
Since no one else has swung at this... If it were me and I was swapping fluid out, I would run the AW32 in it. It's a hydraulic system after all. The only reason (as I understand it) that OE is called for is the simplified logistics of using the same fluids for many things. I'm confident that...
Yikes! Well I’m glad everything turned out OK with no damage or injury. I think it bears repeating that you should have reasonably effective brakes with no air pressure at all. So if you don’t, then I would abandon for the moment any investigation or work on the pneumatic side, and focus on...
First question i have is... zero brakes? Yes the brakes have an air assist, but it’s only an assist. You should have somewhat effective brakes with zero air pressure. If your brakes don’t work at all, the hydraulic brake system is the first thing that needs fixing.
Yes, that’s basically how...
Gates is who i get hydro parts from and though i make my own hoses, the local auto parts shop has the same press and dies and makes hoses for people all the time. DIN included. If you can source the fittings there has got to be a tractor place or something nearby that’ll crimp the ends on for...
One more thing that makes life easier for loader re-installation; grease the upper and lower mounts a little. They tend to stick and hang up just when they should drop into place. Of course you'll use the implement functions to help micro align and jiggle things into place.
I looked at that procedure when I was adjusting mine and decided it was too "army motor pool technician" specific. So I took a good hard look at how the whole thing worked and made a few adjustments. I couldn't tell you now all of what I did (sorry) but one thing was move the pedal position on...
Whoa pump the brakes there super chief.
Yes, good info in the TMs. The time to read through the main thread (actually read posts 1 to infinity) is time well spent. Not saying you didn’t.
As someone who has removed and reinstalled both, all i would say is have a helper and be careful. When...
My see has a little loop of wire attached to the injection pump side of the throttle linkage. It comes up through a small hole drilled in the cab just behind the doghouse. Functionally it serves as a kill switch the same as pushing the hand throttle all the way forward. Not sure why it’s there...
Those are clearly not vehicle lifting points but only for that piece. Same as the small rings for the side modules. The 3/4" plate eyes front and back that are part of the implement mounts I think are what were used.
Yes, All good points. I did in fact break the front hydraulic drive belt when I reversed the pressure relief valve on the front loader frame. It was badly worn and while I had the belts I had not gotten around to replacing them. Needless to say they all are replaced now.
On the interesting topic...
