    Need help with a vermeer BC1500 auto feed problem.

    The amber info light flashing fast means that one of the e-stop switches are activated. There is one on the feed control bar and two on the lower stop bar. It is probably one of those three switches.

    Cold Starting Deutz Diesel Carlton 8018 TRX

    I have run into that issue on a Vermeer stump grinder with a deutz engine. When the machine was new it did not have a preheat function installed, but had the preheat element in the intake manifold. Does your engine have glow plugs or a heating element in the intake manifold. If it does not I...

    PLEASE HELP whisper chipper cranks but wont run ?

    Since the chipper sat for so long. The carburetor is probably going to have to be disassembled and cleaned. It still probably has bad fuel and possibly some debris in the float bowl and or some of the jets or passage ways. Another possibility is that the timing could be off, especially if...

    BC 1000 in-feed wheel problems

    Take the cover off the back on the machine and see if the switch is being pushed enough. If so then you can try swapping switches with another one that works. If that doesn't solve the issue then see if you have a good power and ground to the forward feed solenoid that is located inbetween the...

    Kubota pony motor question

    It sounds like a hydraulic issue. I recommend taking it to a place that specializes in hydraulic repair. They should have all the proper diagnostic equipment to figure it out. Sorry, but without a hydraulic schematic I can't be much help to find the cause of the problem. Good luck

    Vermeer 935 Chipper fuel problem

    I agree with some of the previous suggestions. Try running the engine with the fuel cap off. If that fixes the problem, the incorrect fuel cap may have been installed. If the fuel cap is supposed to be vented and someone put a non-vented cap on, then the fuel tank could build pressure and...

    vermeer sc252

    When you do get it out make sure you put antiseize on the new pin. That might make it easier the next time.

    vermeer sc252

    Sometimes a pin can wear a have a lip from the wear which prevents it from coming out. Try rotating the pin and trying to drive it out. I would think turning it 180 degrees would be a good start. With the cutter wheel supported keep lowering the cutting wheel to take a little weight off the...

    Koehler Engine Trobule

    I think from my past experiences that the compression is supposed to be higher than 90 psi. You should check with your local Kohler dealer to see what the compression is supposed to be.
