    komatsu pc150-6 control valve parts

    I am looking for the whole control valve or the arm and bucket sections for the control valve on this machine PC150LGP-6K ser.# k35024 The arm and bucket drift a lot and i narrowed it down to leakage in the spools in the valve body....which also is causing the hydraulic system to overheat...

    Komatsu Pc200-8 weak arm/stick out

    If the output of the pump is low. Is it not a problem on the signal side, or LS? But only for the stick. Would the quick return afect it that way?

    Komatsu Pc200-8 weak arm/stick out

    I forgot to mention that cold you don’t notice it near as much, mabey a little slow but as it warms up it slowly gets worse. With about half an hr of operating, stick out is very slow….takes about 10 seconds to get the whole way out

    boom or bucket…..it makes the stick really jerk when you as much as touch the other functions even before they start to move much. If you just touch the joystick it like cuts the pilot pressure to the stick for like a split second thus the jerk

    Also when operating the stick and you touch another function the stick jerks I swapped 8 and 9. It calls it the arm and boom drift prevention, I thought that was the same as the quick return, mabey it’s a different valve

    the seals have been replaced about a year ago....and the stick does not fall or drift at all. If the oil in the head side is leaking pass the seals to the botom side that fast should there not be terrible drift on the stick cylinder?

    cat e120b solenoid functions and track speeds not working

    thanks for your help….I was able to track the problem to a leak in the swivel joint. With the help of those amazing pdfs. The leak was between the right track and high speed pressure. Causing the motors to be in high speed as soon as the right track was activated Thanks a lot
