Just wanted to update my issue with our 575 JD skid steer. Back in April I posted about getting this machine running after it sat indoors for a few years. The initial trouble was getting the dead bsttery out with the lift arms down. Well using the 2510 with FEL I got the arms up and the bsttery out.
Next problem, the engine(diesel) would turn over but no start, here I would like to thank Jo Bird for his offer, and as was suggested the fuel cut off solenoid was weak and needed replacement, but the injector pump would just not pump pressure.
This was beyond my ability and I needed to contact our local independent equipment mechanic. Fast forward to now, the pump was sent out for repair/rebuild and I am once again spinning in tight circles. I'm told the pump was sludged up to a point of not working.
I've kept the equipment after my Dad and I got out of the beef cattle business because of nostailgia, but I guess I need to just get it out and run it for its own good.
And holy Moses that repair bill kinda stung!!! Lesson learned. Thank you all for your help
