    Looking for a manual quick coupler

    I have a JCB 804 Super. I've toyed with upgrading to a newer small excavator but with the pricing and availability challenges I'm rethinking. One of the drivers to upgrade is the ability to change buckets and use attachments. Where can I purchase a quick coupler I can install on my machine? I'm...

    312 B fuel starvation issue

    My 2000 312 serial # 8JR01751 was having some bogging issues. The water separator was part of the problem. My mechanic took it apart and found some black goey stuff. He cleaned it out and the machine is running better. I'm not sure it is 100 percent back but it is better. He is wondering if...

    I'm looking at possibly buying a Yanmar 100 size excavator. Anyone have any input, good or bad on these. I'm thinking less than 4 years old or so. Thanks, Jeff

    I took the set screw out but is there something else holding it in or is it just frozen in there?

    I don't think this is too complicated but I need to replace one of the top rollers on my 312. 8JR01751 is the serial number. I have the new one but it is not obvious how it mounts. It is raining pretty good here so not interested in going to the machine and try to figure it out. I'm hoping...

    Sorry it has been so long but here is the update. The pump was close to catastrophic failure. They replaced it and now she runs like new. More power, idles better, like a new machine! I'm a happy guy. Jeff

    Replacing injector pump on a 2000 312 BL

    Injectors were replaced about 18 months ago. I will look into having the fuel pressure tested.

    Replacing injector pump on a 2000 312 BL

    Ser # 8JR01751, I'm planning to replace the injector pump this winter. Where is the best source to find a replacement? Does it make more sense to rebuild? I have a skip and 2 mechanics have condemned the pump. When I start it in cold weather I get a few minutes of gray smoke. Jeff
