    CAT cross reference

    Sorry for taking so long to get back here, measured the Napa filter I have it’s slightly smaller 1.5” across and 2” tall. Center hole where it seals is about 7/8”. Not sure if that would work for you or not. My local Napa had them in stock maybe yours would too if it seems close to be able to...

    CAT cross reference

    That looks very close to what my kobelco sk 160-6e uses for pilot filter, I have a new one from Napa on the shelf I’ll check in a bit when I go out there and measure it and post the Napa part #. Just maybe it would work

    Kobelco sk160lc-6e hydraulic issues

    Ended up swapping the a-6 arm recirculation proportional control solenoid with a-4 straight travel proportional solenoid and used the machine for about 1/2 hr, things are vastly improved with machine function. Currently very hard to track machine as when trying to make small directional...

    Kobelco sk160lc-6e hydraulic issues

    I I do not have the independent travel or heavy lift switch on sadly. There is nothing I can find in the back screens that is causing the pump loading, the readings for boom, bucket, arm, travel and rotation are all normal. Only number that seems off is the arm recirculation reading around...

    Kobelco sk160lc-6e hydraulic issues

    Also noticing that the stick in can be very slow but stick out is normal. Stick just kinda falls with gravity most of the way in. But if I curl the bucket at the same time then the stick comes in at full power and speed. Almost like I have something stuck in a multi function control?? Just weird...

    Kobelco sk160lc-6e hydraulic issues

    Also not sure if this is note worthy or not but #23 proportional valve for recirculation is reading 413psi on the first line and 397-400psi on second line with machine running and 413psi top line and 390-396psi with the machine engine off. Is that we’re that’s supposed to be or is that maybe...

    Kobelco sk160lc-6e hydraulic issues

    I can try switching them but this started acting up during the work day, machine was working perfectly for most of the day when I noticed it acting up. And all while running and working it. Wasn’t like one of those machine worked fine all morning, parked it and shut it down for lunch and came...

    Kobelco sk160lc-6e hydraulic issues

    Swing is usually fine if pumps are working correctly, bucket dump (cylinder retract) seems normal but bucket curl ( cylinder extend) the oil sounds restricted and is rather slow probably close to 1/2 speed of bucket dump (cylinder retract) both dig and dump show 435psi and 4.8v on the pressure...

I have a kobelco sk160lc-6e ser # YM03-u1062. I was working on a job yesterday when it seemed like the bucket curl was a...

    Troubleshoot excavator not tracking straight. Yanmar VIO 50

    I’m curious to see what you figure out, there’s a guy on utube with the same machine and same issue that also already went threw the swivel joint because of a issue with the back fill blade. I’m no expert but I was assuming the swivel would have been the issue.
