    Mitsubishi BD2G Questions

    I was wondering if he was using the steering levers when it made the noise. If so it's steering clutches if the brakes are not to tight. I have one steering clucth that makes a really bad noise once in a while and I have been putting off replacing it but I can see it happening this summer :-(...

    Mitsubishi BD2G Questions

    Pull the caps off and check the break bands. If you have any doubt just back them up 1 turn and see if that makes it better or worse. don't remember the proper settings, I think tight and back off 3.5 turns ? look in the book. I cant think of why they would be binding but I have had no need to...

    Side Cutters...

    I don't think this one has the ISO/SAE changover valve but I will break the parts book out and look to see where it is located when I get a chance. A cat fellow looked at it few days ago and said he couldn't find it so it might not have one. I will get a picture on the add on to the bucket...

    Side Cutters...

    I have a fixed thumb "there when I bought it" & using this thing in the monutians I hit lot's of roots. I cut 2 plates out of 1/8 inch stuff that just fit the top of the bucket to make it level just to see if it helped in roots and it was great ! . I took it back to the garage tacked it on a...

    Another problem ! Has anybody changed the bushings on the track expander. I checked and found them for $36. each so I ordered 2 of those and 4 bolts. Credit card got a $390.+ hit. I called and the old bushings were not available and I have the new & improved version at 147.++ each, I ordered 2...

    curling the bucket to grab an item because the pressure release valves on the auxillary lines may be set higher than the pressure that your ram can stand upto!! :) thats what I was talking about.. the little things I don't know can cause me much trouble. I would have thought of that just...

    One more question and I will leave you fellows alone:) This 301.8 has a thumb on it and it's great ! but I would like to make it hydraulic and I think I might have enough junk laying around to do that. I will have to plumb it for it but the connectors looks to be on the front of the cab so I...

    It looks to be the orignal part. I called today and cat is real proud of these things. they want $302.++ for one and that does not include shipping :-).. I guess it's time to get educated on cat injectors. On the grease YES !! if it moves it got greased. If one could be burned up wih grease I...

    Well with the help of a screw type chain binder & port-a-power (cant spell that) I got the track going in and out. After I got it all the way out I had to remove the rust with a wire brush on a air tool, used white grease and got it started back in and was working it real slow and got it locked...

    I plan to do that today when it hits 38 degree's out side im out of here :) I have to get it up on something that won't kill me before I get under it to see what to grease & then might have to give it a nudge to get it started. Thanks

    Hydraulic Help

    The Dollar store stuff works real good but if you are not real fond of the paint you can use greased lightning:D Trick with it is do a small area and get it off fast with presure washer. Anywhere greased lightning is left on or the residue is left you have a streak in the paint. It will cut...

    That would make sense cause when the tracks are all the way in the one that is doing the moving is good ways under the unit. And yep.. you can take the weight off the unit with the blade and bucket and when you push the switch it just goes to float. I will move a little up or down acording to...

    Well I just found out the right track is not moving, I thought it was the other day but it don't now. I took a look at it and best I can tell it has a same thing the other one does. I loosened the line on the outside of it and took a broom handle while holding the switch and the left side moves...

    I found it ! little springloaded switch on right side, lift and hold and the blade moves real slow & the tracks will come in or out. While I was using it they were about 1/2 of the way out. After I took them out to the limit it feels much better. Another switch is beside it but I have no idea...
