Okay so here's my tale of woe and misery.
The bad: I just adjusted my front PTO and now the PTO light stays on full time and the hydraulics will lift attachments but will not lower them. Prior to me fixing the PTO, it wouldn't engage, but at least the hydraulics worked properly.
The Good: This is a 1988 Ingersoll 448 with a total of 348 running hours. I just changed the air filter, engine oil and plugs. I did the hydraulic fluid a couple months ago. No leaks anywhere. This thing is the smoothest running engine I have ever experienced. It's just incredible. No smoke or noise of any kind. Since it runs so well there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaking of lights: As I said the PTO light stays on full time since I < fixed > it. Also the battery charging light stays on full time even though the system is clearly charging the battery. It's a new battery and hasn't had a voltage drop or loss of cranking power over several months of use.
So I put this out to the forum. Anyone want to jump in on this?
Happy Holdiays!
