Corrigindo: dizia renovando scraper

Rebocando

I had empty fuse spots so I just ran a fuse tap into them.

Hi, Around the Farm. On second look, your D8 appears like it could be even more of a 'bitza' than I originally thought. The twin exhaust stacks indicate that at least some parts of the current engine may have come from a Hi--Output D8 which was a dealer modification done by Sheperd Caterpillar to increase power for better push loading of scrapers. How-wevver, the Hi-Output tractors also had a double head on the air cleaner for better air intake, which yours doesn't have, although it may have had at one time if that extended air intake is any indication - like it ain't original.. Just more of my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

All this solenoid does is make sure the brakes are engaged before allowing you to shift. Theoretically you don't need it. It's just a safety feature.

​@AroundtheFarm hey man this happening with my car but only when it's a little chilly like it was 63° yesterday when it happened. But when its hot out it never happens. My question is, that when it happens to me none of the windows will roll down either. When it's warmer all the windows work fine and same with the shifter. When these two issues with the windows and the interlock happen the only happen at the same time. Is there any reason behind that you might know?

@@cjsnidlio9409 no idea on the windows. But the solenoid I took of seamed to have some grease like substance in it that would thicken and cause it to stick in cooler weather

@@AroundtheFarm what price range do you think most shops would want for that job?

@@cjsnidlio9409 no idea. It took about an hour and I didn't for sure know what I was doing lol.

Lol that's what I'm wondering. I jus had a mechanic do mine and he was like " man u know u can save some money by just taking that part off. I mean u know how to drive hell.." 😅 I hope it works out for me

The answer is no. The armature is inserted from the top of the assembly, and it has a narrow stem that extends into the bottom plastic part. In other words, the armature wont fit through the hole in the bottom. That said, if you remove the cover on the bottom, you can remove the spring which lifts the armature. Even if you can't remove the armature, it will be effectively disabled by gravity. Note that there is a rubber bumper washer in the lower compartment above the spring. At least in mine, the rubber rotted into a bunch of black goo. If that's the common cause of the solenoid sticking, then oiling a bad solenoid won't work. I managed to fully disassemble mine and clean out all the goo, but I don't think anybody else would. At first glance, removing the solenoid looks more difficult than it should be, but it doesn't seem that bad. When I did it, it was unreasonably difficult to get the steering wheel and retainer plate off. You know shit's tight when you're bending the wheel with the gear puller. The one dinky torx screw in the retainer wouldn't budge. I eventually stripped it out and had to cut a slot in it for a big screwdriver -- which wouldn't budge it either. With some heat and after breaking off half a dozen bits with the impact, it finally snapped loose. So I guess what I'm saying is if you have luck like mine, just rip the stupid solenoid apart.

​​@@PSUQDPICHQIEIWCwhat about the silver metal (plastic?) Tab that the uploader depresses in the first few minutes of the video? Any way to permanently keep that tab/button depressed? Edit: 1:15

@@drwombat You either remove the spring out of the bottom, or you find some way to glue it down (which probably won't be reliable since everything will be oily inside). The point behind removing the spring is that you can avoid removing the wheel. Accessing the top of the solenoid requires removing the wheel and everything, so if you're going to go that far, there's no point gluing it down. Just take it out and throw it away.

@@drwombatI was thinking of a little push button that you can glue in that extends to the release bc you only have to hold it to get out of park
