New Member. I have a Komatsu PC 300LC-5, Ser# A20416, Travel motor type #HMV280ADT. The travel motor blows the shaft seal and pressurizes the final drive.
I ran time test, H.O. and H high idling, at low speed 56.4 sec (book standard value 53.8 +/- 3 sec) and at high speed 58 sec (book standard value 33.3 +/-2 sec) .
I ran travel motor case drain leakage test, H.O and H high idling pin locked sprocket for 1 minute, and got 1 cup of oil from the case drain. (book standard value of 20 liters per minute and a max permissible value of 40 liters per minute)
Could the safety valves or the balance valve inside the travel motor prevent the case drain flow from meeting spec? If this is happening would this cause the travel motor to blow the shaft seal?
Thanks
Cliff
