As a new operator, I'd definitely plan the route ahead and double-check clearances, weight limits, and fuel stops.

My RC30 had low voltage, so I replaced the battery and alternator. It still isn't charging. Could the alternator diode be bad?

After shutting off the engine, the green light on the master battery switch stays on and keeps changing brightness. I'm also getting L01 and L04 fault codes. The codes briefly cleared after a manual regen but came back later. Could this be a wiring or electrical issue?

My 2001 Case wheel loader has slow hydraulics. It works better when I rev the engine in neutral, but once the hydraulic oil gets hot, it becomes much slower. What was the cause or fix?

I'm trying to adjust the throttle cable on my John Deere 550G. I have the TM1404 service manual, but the adjustment procedure points to TM1403, Group 9010-20, which I don't have access to. Could someone who has that manual please share a screenshot of the relevant page or explain the adjustment...
