    Takeuchi tl230 no crank

    Got a 2011 TL230 that won't crank, possible multiple issues. Operator said it began shutting off after about 30 minutes of operation, he said that he would "reset it" by cycling the e-stop switch located on the lower right side of seat and it would start and run again. This went on for a while...

    Hitachi EX120-2 swing issues

    After some more digging and a lot of reading of the service manual that Knivens894 so kindly emailed me i was able to determine the problem was a faulty swing pressure switch.

    Hitachi EX120-2 swing issues

    definitely am losing pilot pressure to the brake and it is setting while rotating, have installed gauge and verified pressure drops. Does anyone have the spec's for the coil resistance? Also thinking about sticking a multimeter on the wires to the coil to see if the voltage is dropping at the...

    Hitachi EX120-2 swing issues

    This machine continues to have problems with swing brake setting while rotating and appears to be getting more frequent. I installed a gauge into the brake line and observed the pilot pressure to brake to be dropping to zero causing swing brake to apply. A couple other things i noted are that...

    Hitachi EX120-2 swing issues

    Still having trouble with the swing brake applying while slewing machine, checked the wiring to the brake solenoid (or at least what appears to be) and it looks good. Based what i have read on other forums this can be caused by a bad swing pressure sensor? Does any one know where the sensor is...

    Another sick Hitachi 120 post

    while testing the swash angle sensor, i noticed every time i moved the harness around i could hear the pump displacement changing, kept poking around and found the rpm sensor on the pump had a broken wire and was making/breaking contact while i was wiggling the harness around. Repaired the wire...

    Another sick Hitachi 120 post

    I am struggling with hydraulic/electrical issues on a Hitachi 120 which seems be fairly common based on my reading here. Problems started out with the operator complaining that occasionally the machine would "stop" mid swing, said it would just slam to a stop while rotating but was never able...

    JD 210 reverser/shuttle issue

    pulled the pan off the shuttle shift box and found lots of metal flakes and the magnet was completely covered, not sure if i would be better off attempting to rebuild or look for a reman unit. Based on the amount of metal in the pan i think a new torque converter and a good cooler flush or...

    950B air compressor

    I appreciate the offer to help look for parts, when things slow down in the shop i will tear the original compressor down and see what i find. The aftermarket one was relatively cheap, like around $350 delivered.

    950B air compressor

    just wanted to follow up on this post; i ended up ordering an aftermarket compressor from an outfit called CTP through Amazon. I thought by going through Amazon if it didn't work out i had a bit of a chance to work through it. The compressor showed up right on the day they said it would and it...

    JD 210 reverser/shuttle issue

    I have a mid '80's John Deere 210 backhoe that appears to have an issue with the shuttle/reverser box, machine will go ahead fine but doesn't seem to fully come out of gear when in neutral and when in reverse it seems like both forward and reverse clutches clutches are engaged. We got it lifted...

    950B air compressor

    Just checked the link out, that picture looked identical to what is on the loader, hard to beat the price too! This machine is only worked for a few months every year and an after market compressor may be the best way to go. Thanks for the CAT numbers as well as the explanation about the two...

    950B air compressor

    the current compressor doesn't have an ID tag that we could find, crankcase housing is stamped "Made in England" "Clayton, Demandre", only number we could find on the casting is 5F 22A75. Kshansen, we are located in Maine. Komatsukid, is there a particular Bendix compressor you go with and...

    950B air compressor

    I have 1983 CAT 950B that has a tired air compressor, struggles to make rated pressure and lots of oil passing into air system. Cat doesn't offer a reman compressor but does have parts available, it also appears that there are some aftermarket compressors available. Anyone had any experience...
