I might end up doing the service myself if the dealer won't do the CAM fix. You TBNers have helped raise my confidence. Before I get started I want to make sure I make a trip and get all the tools I will need. Can you make sure I get this right.
I figure I might as well spend the extra money I would save on labour on tools that will be useful later.
Need:
- L3400 shop manual.
- Filter wrench (is there only one size?).
- Jack and jack stands. Although the manual does not say it I thought I read that others jacked the front axle to get all the fluid out. What is the appropriate jack for this machine? There was a set of a 2T floor jack and jack stands on sale - didn't look heavy duty to me... wasn't sure if they would do?
Aside: Bottle jacks seem quite a bit cheaper than a floor jack of equal capacity. Any reason why I should not go with a bottle jack?
- Couple of large drain pans.
- Couple of funnels (one for oil and one for hydraulic fluid).
- Torque wrench
- Air compressor / pump and pressure gauage to fill up tires to the right pressure.
Have:
- Adjustable wrench / socket set (have)
Any other things / thoughts you might have to make the job easier?
