    TD-15C Cutting Edge Replacement

    Thanks for the info Robin. The next problem is finding trunion balls for the D600 Hanomag blade. I have to take the old International TD15C balls off and install the Hanomag ones to fit the Hanomag blade. I have tried to find a salvage yard that has a Hanomag D600, but have failed to do so. Mike

    Good Day, I have a International TD15C with a D600 Massey Furgussen blade. Where is the best place to buy a replacement cutting edge. I heard that Hanomag bought Massey out and later Terex did the same. Mike

    EX120-3 Slew Gear Bearing Grease Dilution

    Hello Aiden, That is what I want to hear. Someone said awhile back that it could be the swivel. I did check under the boot a couple days ago and it was wet with hydraulic oil. With the grease dripping out of the slew gear bearing, does this mean there is a high level of hydraulic oil getting...

    EX120-3 Slew Gear Bearing Grease Dilution

    My Ex120-3 Slew Gear Bearing grease is being diluted with hydraulic oil. If this is from the Swing Motor reduction gear, why isn't the level going down? The oil in the reduction gear appears to be hydraulic and not gear oil. If the Swing motor seal is leaking, wouldn't the reduction gear box be...

    Hitachi EX120-3 Mode Changeover from Cat to John Deere

    Hello Men, Thanks for the info. I will switch back to the control pattern when I bought it. The selector valve has four positions, but none gave me the Slew left/boom left and stick and bucket right. KenAl, I will check to see the valve blocks that you mentioned are under the cab. I am not so...

    Hitachi EX120-3 Mode Changeover from Cat to John Deere

    I recently purchased a Hitachi EX120-3 Excavator and tried to change controls over from Cat to John Deere. The Selector Valve for this function would not allow all functions to change. I have bucket curl on left joystick and slew on the right joystick. Looks like I have to physically change...

    TD20B Steering Problems

    Hello Malcolm, Thanks for the reply. I am temporarily out of state on a job and will not be able to test the declutching of my TD20B until May. That makes a lot of sense to check the release of power to each track before getting to the brakes. HD6B Dude

    TD20B Steering Problems

    Good Day in Texas, Great info on the TD20B dozer. I will try the brake adjustment first, but feel the previous owner had worn them beyond adjustment. One side is not steering at all, so that may be past adjustments. I will ask more questions when the time comes. Thanks again for the valuable...

    TD20B Steering Problems

    I purchased a 1965 TD20B recently and will work on the steering problems this spring. You have to pull back the steering levers all the way to try to get some steering ability. I wonder if the brake bands are the first thing to suspect as the cause. Having to pull the steering levers so far back...

When it does stop traveling, I still have all the other functions working satisfactorily. Winter time in...
