NW Ohio,near Findlay | When you first start it and cold, it will come on indicating low oil pressure, or restriction in one of the hydraulic systems. On ours we just let it idle for a while and warm up it will go out. If stays on, change filters in hydraulic systems. That is a fine machine if you take care of it. Ours had 12,000 hrs on it and still going, never done anything to fuel system or motor. Now it is not used anymore, nothing major wrong with it, still not needed.
A warning, there is four separate oil systems in that backhoe, not counting the engine oil. The torque converter, transmission, and the rear end finals, and the hydraulics for the hoe and steering. All of them have a separate sections in the oil cooler up front. The hydraulic may be a separate cooler, and the other system are all in one cooler, but separate sections. We had a slow leak in the oil cooler, not bad, still able to run, but had to watch oil levels. Kept watching levels, none of them seem to be getting low. Then we got the book out and we forgot the oil check level in the rear end, darn near run it out. Never hurt it but close. Got the oil cooler out and forgot how we fixed it, local radiator shop fixed it.
Had a post on here long time ago about fixing the pump drive up front. You never ever want that to strip out in the middle of a street with hoe in the hole and loader down. Email me if you want a fix on that or how to check and see if it is going out. May look for post. | |
