    Komatsu PC300-8 vs Volvo EC340DL

    I’m from west central Illinois near Burlington IA. The reason for a new/different machine is because ours is just old and worn out. It’s cheaper to buy a newer machine than to rebuild and add auxiliary hydraulics to our existing trackhoe.

    Komatsu PC300-8 vs Volvo EC340DL

    I’ve always been a Komatsu excavator owner but it’s time for an upgrade and I’m wondering the good and bad on a 2014 EC340. I’m looking at a machine with auxiliary hydraulics to run a brush mulching head. Also if anyone has any experience on disc mulching heads and preference in brands im...

    Terex diff lock

    Hi, bigbert I have a gauge on the dash that says transmission temp and was only showing.80-90 degrees. I’m wondering if one of the two hoses I plugged going into the T at port 9 are causing the converter to over heat for some reason. No I haven’t checked the plugs coming into the cab as I didn’t...

    Terex diff lock

    Hi, bigbert I put plugs in two hoses the go into a T fitting at port 9 as you suggested to check the mechanical part of the diff lock. While operating the truck I had code WT and code C3 come up I’m just wonder what those mean. Also I thought about the fact I haven’t checked for power at my...

    Terex diff lock

    Thank you for your time, if the hose is removed do I just put a plug in it’s place? I’m only aware of two solenoids one on the front of transmission near the drive shaft which I have replaced and one on the center axle. It’s my understanding that there may be a third valve solenoid but I don’t...

    Terex TA40 driveline questions

    Yes it does, A2 and 19 codes flash. I understand 19 is for the jake break but I don’t have a switch for one so it must be automatic.

    Terex TA40 driveline questions

    Hi, the switch/solenoid I put in the transmission was $76 but the valve solenoid is $375. I’m really hoping to get this fixed, with out the diff lock working the truck is helpless.

    Terex diff lock

    I’m still having problems with my diff lock not engaging, I have the error code A2 on the dash. I replaced the solenoid on the front of the transmission down beside the drive shaft as recommended, the Terex book calls it a switch. When I order the solenoid terex sent me the wrong part, I...

    Terex TA40 driveline questions

    Yes I can take some pictures, so there’s just one solenoid that locks all three axels and it’s located some where on the front of the transmission or front axel? Sorry for all the questions I just don’t have a book on this machine and I can’t find any diagrams online.

    Terex TA40 driveline questions

    Would you happen to have a diagram showing the location of the solenoid? I really appreciate your help.

    Terex TA40 driveline questions

    I don’t think I have a Jake break, if I do it doesn’t work. I know that sounds stupid to say but I don’t have any switches for a Jake. Do you think the solenoid is something I can fix on my own or will I need a mechanic to come out. I’m very mechanical inclined working on just about anything is...
