My Allis FG95 used to run below 80C but now reaches over 100C. I've cleaned the cooler and checked the thermostat and coolant flow, but the problem persists. What else could be causing it to overheat?

Add cranes to that list too.

I'm looking for information on dynamic timing adjustment for CAT 3200, 3300, and 3400 engines, especially road-going models.

I'm looking for wiring diagrams covering the battery, ignition switch, starter, alternator, fuel shutoff, relays, and solenoids. Any of these would be helpful.

Checking the frame, axles, brakes, and tires first, those can get expensive fast on an older log trailer.

I'd check the manual to see if the parking brake release depends on the secondary brake valve.

I'm working on a Case 1150B with a Cummins 451 diesel. Any mechanics here familiar with this engine and common problems to check?

I have a Bobcat 732 with a Ford Pinto engine and need the correct starter. The old starter had a spacer installed. Does anyone know the right starter and spacer setup?

I'm trying to get the cab work lights working on my Hough 910B. I have power at the switch but no lights. Does anyone know where the fuse panel is located?

I'm troubleshooting the driving lights on our 1986 770AH motor grader, but there's no power at the lights or behind the dash. Where can I find the wiring diagrams and fuse locations?

I'm having a valve timing problem on a 450E. The valves are hitting the pistons. What should I check first to find the timing issue?

I slow down, check the load and straps, and avoid driving through severe weather when possible.

Credit score and down payment matter the most.

I'm looking for better traction on muddy job sites. Can I use snow chains or aggressive tread tires, or could that damage the drive motors? Also, should both drive wheels spin in mud, or is it normal for only one to spin?

Check the hydraulics, vibration system, and drum bearings first. Most issues are caused by low hydraulic pressure or worn parts.
