From my experience, I'd compare a few lenders and look closely at the interest rate, down payment, and repayment terms before buying.

My 2018 Cat 315F LCR won’t go above 1,500 RPM, but auto idle and speed control work normally. There are no diagnostic codes. Could the recent DEF manifold replacement be related?

Looking for excavator manuals and repair information for an older machine? Manuals can make maintenance, troubleshooting, and DIY repairs much easier.

Good point! fuel consumption can creep up before you notice anythinh else, especially if the generator still seems to be running normally.

If the hydraulic pump and torque converter still turn freely, id suspect an internal engine issue like a seized bearing or piston before blaming the hydraulics.

My Link-Belt 350x2 overheats when working hard. It also has weak swing power, and one track feels weaker than the other. Has anyone experienced this or know what could be causing it?

Responding quickly to inquiries also helps move the sale along.

I replaced both speed sensors on my Cat D5G dozer, and the track issue is fixed. But now it won't go faster than 1.7 speed. Do the sensors need calibration, or could something else be causing it?

It does sound like a safety switch issue. I'd start by checking the seat switch wiring and connectors for damage or loose connections before replacing any parts.

I'd focus on the truck's maintenance history, boom inspection records, and hydraulic system. A thorough inspection before buying can save you from expensive repairs later.

I recently ordered a new monitor for my machine because the old one stopped displaying accurate readings. The water temperature gauge only reads up to a certain point, the hydraulic temperature gauge no longer works, and the AES and travel speed buttons don't respond, even though they still...

So true. Some of the best machines in a fleet are the ones you almost didn't buy. It's usually that older, dependable piece of equipment that ends up making money year after year.

My turn brakes seem out of adjustment. The steering clutches disengage when I press the pedals, but there's a long pedal travel before the brakes finally grab. Once they do, the brakes work fine. Where is the adjustment for this, and is there anything in the hydraulic system I should be checking?

My Cat 140H grader has lost forward gears 1 through 4 and reverse gears 1 through 3. Has anyone had this issue before, and what ended up being the cause?

For me, it was a hydraulic thumb. It completely changed how quickly we could handle logs, rocks, and debris. One attachment ended up saving a lot of time and extra labor.

I'm having a transmission issue with my 570A grader. It goes into reverse and pulls fine in all gears, but when I shift into forward, it only moves at idle. As soon as I give it some throttle, it starts jumping in and out of gear. Someone mentioned it could be worn cogs in the transmission, but...

I recently came across a D9G dozer that stopped moving right after a transmission oil change. The machine was operating normally beforehand, which made me wonder if something during the service could have caused the issue.

Financing made more sense for equipment we expected to own for many years, while leasing offered lower upfront costs and more flexibility when upgrading.

I am getting tired of replacing transmissions with reman units every time one fails. I'm looking into rebuilding them in-house and would like to hear from anyone who has experience with 9630 transmission rebuilds. Are there reliable aftermarket parts suppliers for these transmissions? Is there...

Best practice is to always park forklifts in designated areas with the forks fully lowered, parking brake engaged, controls in neutral, and the key removed if unattended. Avoid blocking walkways, exits, or fire equipment.\
