Hi folks, 1st post - long time reader though.
1990's BC753, borrowed from a friend of a friend (random acts of kindness...) ten days ago, have used it 8+ hrs a day on annual leave since then. His care had been minimal, the first day I pressure washed the engine bay & that took 4 hrs! Minus when I lifted the cab today and it's a mess of mud as well I've got biiiiiggggg confusion(s).
Over the past 5 or so days, first thing in the morning she'd start-then die-then start-then idle-then die... I read posts on fuel bulbs, pump, etc and although the fuel bulb was collapsed, once things warmed up 45 to 60 degrees, I'd have no more start/die issues. So that's been isolated as NOT what I'm asking about.
1. Just below the Hydraulic Filter at 5 o'clock is a male/female plug. The yellow wire had worn in two (don't know if that started that way 10 days ago), but I spliced & reconnected. Now, here's the 'prob, just to the right of the ignition key, there's two idiot lights (there's no other lights/gauges/toggles there-gone before he bought). Once I reconnected the yellow wire, the transmission light now illuminates (lower of two idiot lights).
Q. Is this going to prevent the BC from starting?
Q. Am currently on an incline, nose up, is this preventing the BC from starting as a result of 'triggering a sensor?
Q. I know how to change oil (you-tube video) & drain hydraulic oil (nose of frame-w/o bucket on & arms secured) but what's remaining process? Is it all either motor or hydraulic oil? I THINK I'm missing out on hydrostatic issues.
Please advise. I've still 10lbs of work to put into a 5 lb bag (annual leave ends Sunday).
Other 'facts.
-Verry small oil moisture in engine bay, assume when I dealt with the before mentioned fuel bulb issue.
-Felling/pushing trees & full buckets of dirt-no issues.
-Drive controls are engaging (fwd/rev/turn)-no issues.
-No smoke (black/blue-white) or low compression issues.
-Have done a heck of allot of wire wiggling to ensure remaining connections are good-to no avail.
-Have, had to 'play with startup scenario of ensuring all lights to right rear of cab are 'green (illuminated), i.e.: ICBS. Routine start by ignition on, rops down, repositioning butt on seat, etc... to engage system. But I have success with turn ignition to on: 1)Click (assume fuel pump); then 2) Clunk (lower left side uhhh not totally familiar, but assume electric brake/drive assy)...
One thing I'm going to go do now, is (luckily) drag the
garden hose/pwasher out, lift the cab, pull off the access panels, and 'go to town cleaning in there... will be able to 'check back on any answers in about an hour....
AND if I teach myself in 2 hrs, I'll try a you-tube, or at least post pics.
