    Hitachi EX135UR-5 won't throttle up

    Spica const. I got it figured today and judging by what you have said I’m pretty confident we are having the same problem. Mine was a bad arm roll in pressure sensor. It is located in the pilot manifold just behind and below the cab. Being that yours is a zero tail swing it may be in a slightly...

    D6T spindles cracked

    Anyone ever seen the final drive spindles crack? I have a dozer in my shop both sides are cracked in the same place. The local cat dealer has not seen this failure before and yet the part has been discontinued by cat with no replacement. Seems a little suspect to me that there is no replacement...

    Tool box safety talk

    Tool box safety talk

    I have worked with some guys that doing that job could very well result in an injury... I guess we would look pretty foolish if a guy did get hurt and the only reason was we thought the job was to minor to do a hazard assessment. Trust me I agree some jobs maybe shouldn't require one, but if you...

    Tool box safety talk

    We are a service company so every new work order we open requires a hazard assessment. Its just a way we can try and make our guys think about potential hazards before they happen.

    Tool box safety talk

    Funny you say that... I have found that the older boys are harder to get safety across to. If I had a dollar for every time I had been told "I have been doing it this way for 20 years" I would be a rich man. Just because you have always done it that way doesn't mean its the safe way to do it. I...
