    Help me diagnose my D6c final drive

    I spoke to the guy that worked on it last time and he was less than enthusiastic about working on it. His idea was partly the age of the tractor and the cost since you have to pull both the final drive and the steering clutch to do the job. I would tackle it myself if I had the necessary...

    Help me diagnose my D6c final drive

    That's the only thing we could think of. With that much brass in the oil I wonder how close to flying apart it is. I once saw a D9 final drive that had a double handful of shrapnel in the final drive...and a split bull gear hub.

    Help me diagnose my D6c final drive

    About two years ago I had the LH final drive worked on. Bored out and put a bushing in to get the dead axle back to spec when it's pressed in. At the same time I put on new chains, sprockets and rollers. Not long after I noticed a clunk in the undercarriage I hadn't noticed before on the...

    So, I've got this clunk....

    About 2 years ago I had the LH dead axle repaired and new undercarriage fitted on my D6c 10k. Afterwards I noticed a clunk in the rear end when shifting directions. Wasn't a terrible noise and didn't do it all the time. I kind of chalked it up to new undercarriage sounding different. The...

    D6c cat

    Might be an internal leak in the tilt cylinder or could possibly be a leaking tilt cylinder valve.

    Excavator bucket

    I'd like to replace the bucket on my SK135. It's got a 40", 1 yard bucket which is pretty oversized for the machine. I think a 30" would be as big as I would put on it. Is there a chance of finding a good used bucket or am I looking at new only? For new buckets, what's a good source that's...

    Bucket for Kobelco SK135

    Thanks for the info. The bucket pin dimensions closely match the info I found from the Rhinox website.

    Bucket for Kobelco SK135

    I don't have a quick coupler on this machine.

    Bucket for Kobelco SK135

    Since the current bucket isn't original I don't know if it's got the correct pin spacing. It measures 420 mm and I found one bucket manufacturer that lists one for my machine and they are using 385 mm spacing. Not sure how much affect that difference might have.

    Bucket for Kobelco SK135

    I have a new-to-me SK135SRLC-1E that I'm checking over and fixing all the little things that get ignored. One of the not so little things is the bucket pins & bushings, that have about 1/4" of slack. I've got those parts on order. Some of this wear is no doubt due to the oversize bucket on the...

    Swing Gear Lube for Kobelco SK135SRLC-1E

    How do I access the swing gear check it and grease it up? Just dropped the belly pan and pulled the drain hole cover.....Got about 2 gal of water out of the main frame. Now I need to check that everything's ok and grease it up. Hate working on a machine without manuals but I'm having trouble...

    Hope this isn't the start of a long project...

    I've run a dozer a fair amount but am new to excavators. I just bought an '07 Kobelco SK135SR LC-1E to use as a farm machine. It's not in too bad of shape for about 6500 hrs. The chains are new and the previous owner supposedly replaced the final drives (or repaired them...not sure) Seems to...

    Case/Link-Belt track chains

    I don't know if it's the brand of track chains that case & link-belt excavators use, but lots of the ones I see for sale have several stuck track pins. I don't seem to seen that with other manufacturers. Is that a thing with Case/Link-Belt?

    Excavator stick length

    I've been looking for a 130-160 size excavator. Some have 10' stick and some approx. 8 1/2' stick. Does it make much difference? Why would you choose one over the other? I can see if it has a quick coupler that would change the stick length a little bit and the lifting capacities are a little...
