Where is everyone #5

!!! If a northstar engine you need to change that #### oil bathed rubber timing belt asap or you'll be junking that engine. It may have already been changed but probably not. !!!

 

Make hay when the sun shines.

 

Yep. We haven't had a drop of rain here in nearly 2 weeks now so everyone's been going non stop.

 

Yup. It has been a good run so far. Well except for butchering a combine...we had a chunk of rotary tiller blade git run through the machine. Beat er up pretty good but thanks to JD parts we had er going in half a day

 

Knock on wood so far we've only had one combine roll in with some damage from picking up some debris in a field.

 

I knew there was something about those engines. Luckily, this one predates that.

 

Bad thing is, when you need a Pro Link, you need a Pro Link.

The Pro Link was the first of the electronic diagnostic tools I learned to use. We got Cat ET and whatever Cummins had out then in 97. For Cat and Cummins, their software was way better IMO than the Pro Link, or at least it seemed to me back then.

But for 60 Series stuff, the Pro Link has always been my favorite tool. My Diesel Laptops computers, and whoevers programming my son uses, will not connect to DDEC I or DDEC II. So still having a Pro Link is handy there.

But yeah, Old tool, missing catridges. IDK. Mine is over 30 years old and still works. If I needed one I doubt I'd go over $400 and hope I didn't just buy a tax write off.

 

I stopped at $275, it ended up going for just under $300. I don't know how high the other guy was willing to go though.

 

What would you have been using it for? While they surely had other cartridges, the only ones we ever had were for Cat, Cummins, and 2 for Detroit

 

Just in case I needed it in the future.
