    Kobelco SK115SRDZ bucket & stick function slow

    I haven’t really noticed my tracks being any different in speed. The only issue I notice is the arm/stick in is super slow and as I said before considerably weaker then normal

    Kobelco sk350 mark 8

    Just bought a Kobelco sk350 mark 8 excavator, got a good deal on it. Has 11,000hrs, great undercarriage everything is good cosmetically. But the reason got such a good deal is it has a pretty major problem. To make long story short, the left track jerks when you try to move it any direction and...

    1998 Samsung 210 lc-3

    Thanks Uffex for your help and quick reply, I have tried tracing down the hyd hoses per the schematics you gave me and still can’t find the lockout solenoid. Do you have any idea where it would be located on my machine? Again, this is the same machine as the first Volvo 210s. I would say the...

    1986 cat 943 track loader

    You guys are right, I don’t know what I was thinking on this one especially knowing nothing about this loader. It had sat for 10 years and I knew nothing about it unlike the other engines I’ve rebuilt Of my own that I’m familiar with knowing they had good oil pressure before rebuilding. But now...

    1986 cat 943 track loader

    Ok, so I took the oil pump out and find it had a lot of wear on it, don’t know if that’s the problem or not. I feel like since the motor is fresh the clearances are tighter and the worn oil pump doesn’t have the umph to pump through all the new clearances. But done several rebuilds on other...

    1986 cat 943 track loader

    Yes I did put 3 ring pistons in it, I’ll have to check the suction tube for sucking air but I’m pretty certain it is not. May be the oil pump

    1986 cat 943 track loader

    Thanks for your information. Convenient as it sounds, I purchased this Friday and have been working on it over the weekend and it has to be moved by Wednesday. Probably No way I could get a service manual between now and then. If anyone that knows how to release the brakes could pass that...

    1986 cat 943 track loader

    Hello I have bought a 86 cat track loader and it’s been setting for close to ten years and I’ve been trying to start it but after filling it up with oil and antifreeze I notice antifreeze coming out of exhaust manifold when it cranks and now it’s hydrolocked by antifreeze. Don’t want to bend a...

    Hello guys, waiting on parts for the dozer, plates, friction discs, and piston seals. Was wondering if I should rebuild the torque this go around as well. Was curious as to how much work goes into rebuilding the torque?

    D4D powershift

    Nige, I’m removing the transmission again tomorrow and I will definitely take a closer look at #4 clutch friction discs and will replace them all regardless this go around, but they didn’t appear burnt or damaged when I had it out last time but didn’t check thickness. But any idea why clutch...
