    Komatsu D65A-8 Things to Check?

    H all, I have been helping on a cattle station driving a Cat D7-G clearing mesquite and we did a little chain pulling with that and a Cat D6-B. The D6 had a clutch problem but with help from previous threads on the forum I got that adjusted and operating well. They have just purchased a...

    Volvo L50B Loader

    I may well have confused myself, I thought I read on the oil selector charts that there was a separate Trans oil from the drop box, but that does not appear to be the case. So the top pic of the drop box is straight forward. Is there a separate oil for the transmission and its filter? or is...

    Volvo L50B Loader

    Some of what you are saying it not making sense for this machine, I have taken some photos to clarify a few things but have no easy way to edit them and load them at work. I will tidy them up tonight at home and post them up, I think it will help clarify some things easily. thanks again.

    Volvo L50B Loader

    Thanks for the reply, No sight glass on this one but I have found what I believe is an oil filler and level check. Above the oil filter. I cant find a drain plug. The suction hose you speak of comes from the very bottom of the box and looks like it could be used as a drain, although it looks...

    Hi, I have a Volvo L50B and unsure about the transmission oil change. I dont have any manuals for it. Drop box is simple, but there is a separate transmission filter and oil companies list a Qty for trans oil. if anyone id familiar with the trans oil change procedure help would be much...

    Cat 936F brakes

    We actually did one of these loaders. Mainly because the oil that overflows out of the reservoir spills onto the turbo so the boss was worried about it catching fire. We pressure tested them with air and the rear held nothing and vented through the diff breather hole, which is what I expected as...

    Cat 936F brakes

    The oil in the reservoir is goes black, I have no doubt you are correct and it is pushing oil up from the diff. I dont know what will get done and when, as I said I dont make that call. But at least i now know I need to check the diff oil for metal for possible diff failure, and that we have...

    Cat 936F brakes

    Thanks Mark, for the effort on the info. I am assuming there is no air running into the diff housing and that it is just the air in the housing expanding as it gets warm and rather than having a breather open to atmosphere they have the small relief valve to maintain pressure in the housing...

    Cat 936F brakes

    I have managed to confuse myself as I had to swap out parts on the two 936 loaders we have. The one with the major brake oil problem does not have an air problem. I may see this one as early as this week or may not. I dont decide what gets done when where I now work, which is a nice change. It...

    Cat 936F brakes

    I have had backhoes and tractors where the the brakes seals have gone and the brake oil has leaked into the diff. Thanks Nige, There is parts manual at work, there may be a shop manual, if not I may take you up on your offer. It is making oil not just pushing air into the reservoir and...

    Cat 936F brakes

    thanks for the reply Nige. I am pretty sure it is only one that is a problem, it is the outer one on the left hand side. But I cant remember if that is the front or rear.

    Cat 936F brakes

    Its been a while since I have been on here. I have been back on the tools for a year now, apart from 3 months off with a broken collarbone. Mostly working on trucks but the company also has some other misc gear and as I have experience other than trucks I am tending to get to do a bit of the...

    JD315SG ZF4WG92 Transmission, wont drive forward when hot

    This backhoe will drive in reverse all good, but loses forward drive when warmed up. When I put it in forward it tries to move, but will not keep going, from time to time it will take. It has had a JD mechanic come some distance at great expense, oils etc have been changed and its still...

    Don't Hate me Because I purchased a New Holland Backhoe :)

    I had an LB90 for 12 months to look after, considering it lack of maintenance and abuse it was still going well. it had been overheated many times but still went well. If the extenda hoe is the same i would check the bushings, the 90 bushes had all gone and it had destroyed the mounts for them...

    I have been gone from the job with this roller for a few months now but wanted to share the outcome. I ordered in and fitted a new fuel cut of solenoid and no different. I had exhausted all tests and info I could get hold off. I did find some info online that said that a faulty pump ecu...
