I have a 2000 Yanmar VIO70 mini excavator that's giving me some hydraulic trouble. After about an hour of operation, the hydraulics slow down almost to nothing and the system gets very hot. I'm currently using 35-weight clear hydraulic oil. Could it be a weak hydraulic pump, a relief valve...

I'm trying to locate the seat safety switch on my machine. I think one of the safety switches is causing problems because the engine runs rough unless I disconnect the bar safety switch. But when I do that, the hydraulics stop working. As far as I know, the machine has a seat switch and a bar...

My JLG telehandler with a Cummins QSB3.3 runs fine most of the time, but under heavy load, it suddenly blows a big cloud of white smoke and loses power. Fuel filters were recently changed, and it normally runs clean except during the issue. Could this be an EGR, injector, turbo, or...

The machine is a 6AB806, and it has a reman transmission (0R4025), but it will not shift correctly unless I move it into 6th gear first.

I keep seeing IronPlanet mentioned in a few heavy equipment and surplus groups, but I'm a bit of a newbie here. From what I've gathered, it's an auction site, but how does it actually work compared to a traditional lot?

Hi everyone, looking for some advice. I already checked and repaired the spool and bore, but the issue is still there. Now I'm wondering what else could be causing it. Could it be linkage adjustment, clutch packs dragging, low pressure, or something inside the shuttle?

Thinking about getting a new dozer soon and curious what you guys usually look at before pulling the trigger. For me, the big ones are machine size vs job needs, fuel efficiency, undercarriage durability, and how easy it is to get parts and service support in my area. Cab comfort and controls...

Best move is to slow down or shut it off to avoid serious engine damage. First check the engine oil level and look for leaks. Then check when the oil and filter were last changed - a clogged filter can drop pressure. If those are fine, it could be a bad sensor, weak oil pump, worn bearings, or...

From what I understand, the platform focuses on making the selling process easier by handling things like equipment listings, inspections, and connecting sellers with a large pool of buyers. It seems like it could be a good option for people who want to reach more buyers without dealing with a...
