I think a few of us might be interested in any questions you have......I'm very interested.

Yes, that is the reason I asked, changing the fluids will be a very expensive operation.


Have you had the pleasure to work on these before ? If so, I'll probably have a few questions for you.


If there's a BMW version then I think he my have...   Grin

Got pulled up by a cop one day for going too slow on the JD wanted to book me for only doing 26 kph in a 80 kph zone.

He could not tell me the section of the traffic act when I insisted he quote it.

so he got on his radio and I could hear him repeatedly say "there must be something I can book him for" only to hear the reply "let him go"

Well I didn't get a fine but weeks later I did get a written letter of apology from the cop.

The JD will only do 28kph........the cop clearly was a lot slower

The first pic is the view from the rear upper compartment. These are the main pumps. all the valving is in the lower compartment.

The second one is the "power plant". Deutz 7.2L.

P.S. : It looks clean now because I spent 4 hours cleaning that compartment. Still have the hydraulic tank to finish cleaning and the front compartment. There was so much oil and anti-freeze in there that I had to wear hip waders and crawl in to get to the drain plugs.

Dennis,
What diagnostic interface does it have and can you communicate with it?

I would check for oil in the intercooler and intake and also see if there is a specification for crankcase pressure and ensure that is right.

If not it may need some work to the control valve.

Also check for soot build up in the egr system.

After the clean have you run it for a few hours to see if it stays dry or have you not got to that point yet?

Not there yet : too many other things on the go right now so i had to defer that job.
Still need to finish some cleaning on the hydraulic tank and front compartment. The engine water pump (leaking) and coolant lines need to be replaced before I can run it for extended periods. All filters have to be changed too.
And we're also modifying a 50 ton scissor neck trailer to haul that beast around. It will have to travel to 3 different landfill sites, on a regular basis.

There are two monitoring panels for all the subsystems, with colored blinking lights (indicates type or severity of faults) and a main button/light that flashes trouble codes. As for an external interface, I haven't even looked into it yet.

Just a thought........
You could record flashing light codes with the Picoscope.

This machine is testing me : From the time we got this machine delivered, the engine only ran about five minutes (after resolving the engine shut down issue) and there was some major fluid leak issues. Got the water pump and pretty much all cooling lines replaced and some of the obvious hydraulic leaks repaired. I started the engine to test for coolant leaks and right away notice an unusual vibration. Darn it ! Looks like the crankshaft damper is crapped out. Belts and tensioners are jumping enough to notice and you can see the damper "wobbling" up and down. Looks like the front of the engine compartment is coming out tomorrow.
