    M925 Air Leak, top of engine, looks like some kind of brass valve, stuck?

    In top of engine, and appears to be made of brass attached to top water hose manifold. Has a air line running to it. Bleeding air all the time. What to do? Remove and clean? Lubricate? Thanks for any help. Jon

    What does the control box in a 900 series 5 ton actually do?

    there were broken alternator belts under the hood....I figure it just ran out of juice..and had to be jumped. the control box was not sending current to the alternator. I have started charging the batteries. Individually, 10Amps ...for a day or so then drop back to 2 amps for the rest of sunday...
