    Wacker Neuson code reading

    If you are looking used United rentals can be a good choice if you can find a reasonable price. They generally take good care of their machines. Can be hard to find a good price from them unless they are in a hurry to get rid of them and they will drop the price alot. The machine I bought was...

    Wacker Neuson code reading

    I’d like to buy the machine but I hesitate due to having to haul it to the dealer when something goes wrong that requires code reading. All my machines are older and do not require code reading. How do owners deal with this once the warranty is over? FYI KSSS I bought my first excavator a Tak...

    Wacker Neuson code reading

    Looking at buying a Wacker Neuson ET90 2017 with 600hr. A 9 ton midi excavator. Dealer says trouble codes can only be read with dealer equipment that is proprietary. Anyone know if this is true and if not how these machines are diagnosed without dealer equipment.

    First backhoe case 780

    I have a 1974 680E. These old Case machines seem like like great machines if they have been cared for. I have the same engine but the nonturbo version. I use Delo 10/40. I wouldn't recommend a synthetic oil as it presumably has run on regular Dino oil for most of its life. The synthetic oil...

    JD 710D electrical issues

    The turning on of the alternator light seems to be totally random. I have cleaned all the connections to the batteries, alternator and starter. The wiring harness from the starter hot lead to the fuse box seems to be unremarkable although difficult to examine due to due running through the...

    JD 710D electrical issues

    My 710D has 6000 hr. For the past several months the warning light that the alternator is not working comes on and off periodically for no apparent reason. There is no power to all lights, wipers, and heater fan all the time. The batteries stay fully charged. I have changed out the...

    Takeuchi TB135 Installation and checkout of thumb.

    Each hydraulic circuit on the machine should have a relief valve, that is the amount of pressure coming from the pump until the relief valve opens and the pressure in that circuit will not go any higher. Those relief valves can usually be adjusted by having the machine shut down, opening up the...

    Hitachi EX55UR

    Does your machine require purging air from the system whenever the system is broken into ? I have a Tak tb53fr and it is a required procedure, just a thought.

    Kubota KX41-3V Swing bearing replacement

    Great write up. I'm sure this will be helpful to many as it seems likely many mini excavators would be put together similarly. Amazing you would tackle this without a shop manual. Are you a mechanic? Thanks again.

    auxiliary hydraulics flow control

    I have a similar but opposite problem. I have a Takeuchi tb53fr. I am trying to increase the auxiliary flow in order to run a hammer. My flow is 15gallons/min. I'm trying to get it to 25gallons/min. Later models of this machine the tb153fr had the 25gallons/min. With the same two pumps. A...

    1974 INT. 4300, cummins NTC 350 repeated engine shut down

    Engine shutdown for no apparent reason at very low speed low rpm. Like shifting from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3. Idles perfectly. Restarts perfectly. Will run for several minutes at low speed before doing this again but always when under load. I haven't run it on the road at high speed since this...

    I have developed and oil drip between the end of the oil pan and the flywheel housing. I'm assuming this is the rear main seal leaking. Anyone familiar with this and the possibility is has a different cause. Thanks

    1974 Int. 4300, no oil at top of head

    I recently removed the covers from the top of the Jake brakes and it appears there is little to no oil coming to the top of the head. If I press on the center button on the top of the jake brake a lot of oil comes out of the Jake brake. I had recently removed the Jake brakes and cleaned them...

    Boosting hydraulic flow in Tak TB53FR

    Thanks for the ideas, yes my auxiliary circuit is electronically controlled. I'm not very knowledgeable regarding hydraulics but I'll do some reading to understand the valves you are talking about but it sounds like it might work. Any source you would recommend for those valves? BTW the...
