New to us, trash compactor. After we received it, it was parked for a couple of months. Tried to start it this week and  it would not run more than 20 seconds (protection system). Couple of hours reading operating and service manuals, did some basic checks and finally found a corroded plug on the coolant level sensor. Now I have to go through the whole darn thing before releasing it to the public works dept. Did I mentioned that this is an hydraulic nightmare to work on ? LOL

Just to give you an idea of the size of this thing, the inner circle of the steel wheels is about 5.5 feet and overall height is 12.5 feet at the roof line. the filtration system on top is another foot. It weights a little over 34 tons (from the scale documents).

After rebushing the centre pivot

wow that is going to be a heavy job.....was bad enough on my John Deere

A buck to a pinch of raccoon poo says the TPMS system won't communicate!

All bearings on this one 

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

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

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

I think that link will provide you with good data

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.

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.

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

Here are some short video clips of the engine running. Let me know what you think.

You don't see that crank pulley movement ?
I pulled the belts off and ran the engine briefly and the vibration is very noticeable. So was the crank pulley movement.

Don't have a NVH.....but I'm willing to try it if you lend me yours lol.

No. By the end of the day, I just wanted to go home. I'm approaching burnt out right now.

No chances of that happening. Been short staffed since December and my shop hand/welder is going on holidays for the next three weeks. Only the apprentice and myself left to hold the fort. I currently have over 15 weeks of accumulated vacation time and it doesn't look like I'll be taking any until next fall.

Spence wrote on Jul 29^th, 2018 at 8:19am:


Good point, Could you check to see if the crankshaft is bent with the NVH? If it's possible, how would you do it? Would you have to test with and without the balancer?

I will remove the damper and inspect it, check crank for lateral movement and runout (once the gout in my right hand goes away  ). I have strong suspicions the the front seal is gonna have to be replaced also, judging from the crap build up that was originally on the engine.

But on a good note, I ordered a 4 posts drive on hoist for the shop today. 40,0000 lbs cap. with a 30 feet deck. These old bones are gonna love it.

Would love to! That would be cool. Then swing over and see Larry aka stitchB

This is what I found when I took the damper off. Should be sticking out at least 1 1/2 inch.

Ready to commit arson : Had to make time to work on the beast. Engine is running OK (still has a vibration that worries me but Public works wants that machine badly). Flushed the engine oil twice and pulled the fuel filters off and found about 20% antifreeze in the 3 filters. Fuel tank bottom is all antifreeze. Oh joy !!!

Oh and I did voice my concerns when the management wanted to buy this machine. What do I know.

This may help re method
