It's hydraulic steering on this machine

The steering becomes a bit stiff on my gr2110 when the oil is warmed up. Also notice the charge light flickering on at idle when it's warm. No issue when cold. Any ideas?

If I have a load on it, the fel on my l5240 settles slowly with the engine running. Goes down say 1/2" every couple seconds. Also, if I have a weight on the 3pt hitch, it will raise up, then settle, then raise up again. Only 1/2" or so. The same frequency as the loader. Any ideas? I bought...

Replaced the seals and it acts pretty much the same....

Have a kubota bx1500 Steering would only work if I turned the wheel quickly and tended to wander quite a bit When restarted no steering at all.....bypassed the 3pt hitch in the up position and steering started working again. Began to slowly return to only working if the steering wheel was...

Have been fixing a bx1500d engine that had a spun main bearing holder. So as to not remove the head, I undid the rod and main bearings and wiggled the crank back a bit to get things in place. Started it up, but it seems to be running with very advanced timing. Won't rev up much and has little...

Got a nice L3600 recently Once it's running and even warmed up, the glow plug light cycles on and off occasionally. Any ideas as to the cause? Seems like a good way to burn the glow plugs out eventually.

I have a B3350 which I really like, except when it's performing a regen. This has happened to me every time. Regen light comes on so I park the tractor and run it at full throttle hoping it will finish so I can go back to work. After cooking away for 20min or so, it shuts off and I get a...

Turns out it was a bad temp gauge sender. Problem solved.

New to me Kubota L3800 gets close to the red on the gauge after not working that hard... replaced the thermostat without much change.... Can shine a flashlight behind the radiator and it's clean... Used my infrared thermometer. When the gauge was reading almost in the red, the top of the...

Air filter was replaced. No Intake restriction Changed fuel filter...old one had some crud on the top of it. Valves adjusted. A couple were excessive clearance. Was pretty sludged up under valve cover when I pulled it off. Cleaned things up and changed the oil again after a few hours. It came...

Just got an rtv x1100. When the engine is loaded up it rolls coal like I've never seen an rtv do. I adjusted valves (they were way out), changed air and fuel filters but still it smokes. Any other suggestions?

With the valve cover off, I can push down on the valve springs one at a time. They all feel about the same resistance, so I would think that means they are all OK. Not sure where else to go other than pull the head off.

I have just acquired an rtv900. It has 2600hrs. On startup it smokes quite a bit of white diesel smoke until it warm up. There is also a pronounced tick from what sounds like the top end. It sounds like a badly out of adjustment valve rocker. I've adjusted the valves and the noise is still...
