How did you go about bleeding the hydraulic lines?
@MakersAcres5 күн бұрын
This is such a small unit that I didn’t bother. When the pump kicks on it pressurizes the manifold and then back into the tank. The lines were so short, I bet it happened almost instantly. The longer lines like drive and up and down, I just cycled a couple times. If there was a chance of running the pump dry for more than a few seconds, I would have been concerned.

I am here because of a 2476-3 (faults out when bumped to the left)code, which led me to an old forum post where people suggested to buy a new base, look at a document to clear the code behind a paywall, then it was too old to access or to take it apart and clean it. So here we are. In your experience, does simply cleaning it like this fix anything related to my dilemma, or it not, can you recommend how I find out?
@MakersAcres16 күн бұрын
Well, that is a tricky question. I found some wires in mine that were about ready to start shorting out because of wear. You could have a situation like that. These controllers have a solid state base with a magnet over them to get position. I am not sure what yours has in it. Doing some research, I found a post on the heavy equipment forums called "Help with CAT 259D LH Joystick error". There are a couple of troubleshooting procedures in PDF that should be able to help you. Let me know what you end up doing.

Hey great job on this one. I have a lift that I’m having issues with as well. I popped a resistor and a cap on the board. The charger went TU and shorted Anyway. I was wondering if you could send me a high res pic of the board and the values of the cap at C15 and the color bands on the resistor right next to it.

Would I rely on it if my business was mowing lawns or clearing brush with this, no. But for my personal property it has been wonderful. I just had to pay a stupid tax for not putting oil in it. It’s a better gear box now though even though it was painful.
Do you have any specs on what the torque specs are for the water pump? Is the information in the owners manual?
@MakersAcres
I’ll check later tonight for you
The service manual gives torque for fastener size. Can you tell me what size it is?
I’ll have to get the size on it this afternoon. Where did you get a service manual for your skid steer?
@@bradytaylor9527 I ended up buying mine. But I would go to the heavy equipment form and ask. A couple users have a database and have been willing to share.
Love the new video, definitely different, but awesome!
I’m hoping someday to show off my building skills on this channel.
@@MakersAcres It's going to take some time and probably one special video to really "hit", but I'm telling you, you will hit 100K subscribers easy in my view if you keep producing content, just great stuff.
@@TheEBrig thanks you! I must admit, I’ve been pretty discouraged the last couple months, so I appreciate the support!
good vid bud, you got talent
Thanks man!
