    Compaction that passes a 95% Procter density test?

    I think I've worked some similar material. If we had a hard time getting 95 we would bring the moisture content a little past optimal, compact it, and then let it sit in the sun all day. The next day it would be cracked open and we would recompact dry and we could get 98-100 using a small ride...

    Thanks, but I've got the manual. And dirthog, I tried bypassing the hyd. Level sensor by unplugging it, and jumping the leads but it just stays on. Is there another way to fool the system?

    CAT 320N weak tracks, won't turn

    I had a 94 312 until recently and went through all this. My PRV was bad it was only around $250 to replace. If you decide to replace the PRV then do a stepper motor calibrate, and sweep like mobiltech mentioned. My machine ran very poorly, but after new PRV, stepper motor, and some pilot...

    kobelco sk235 stepper motor failure

    Hey guys, it's been quite a few years since I've been on here. I have a 2003 kobelco sk235 that I just bought. The previous owner must have had a throttle problem and rigged on a manual cable (even though this machine has a manual backup cable from the factory) so I want to get the electronic...

    What does this button do???

    It is an auto idle. I had one on my 03 35zts and it also did nothing. I think in the manual it is listed as an option that neither of us got I guess.

    Bucket size

    You could treat it like a cylinder cut down the middle. Estimate the diameter of the side of the bucket if the bucket was a true circle, then use the formula 3.14 x radius squared x height or width of the bucket. Divide that number in half and you will have your struck capacity, or a good guess...

    What "big 3" won't be around in 2009

    I agree, it will hurt our economy in the short run but we'll be better off for the future. If these companies have to survive extemely hard times without aid I think it will be a valuable lesson learned for future business. Personally I don't believe all the gloom and doom the media reports, I...
