    Temperature gauge not working

    Thanks for the info. I did not realize there were two sensors. The one I replaced is the Y119266-49350 . I now see there is another one that has 2 wires kind of hidden. I will check that one.

    PC78 Komatsu problem

    The windows are tinted so it`s hard to tell. The H&E tech came and looked at my machine and a friends at the same time and told us the pumps went bad at 3000 hours. He also charged for testing pressures , which I don`t think he could have done because he was only there for 30 to 45 minutes and...

    Not yet. I have a man looking at it now. He is so busy with farm equipment that he has been slow to get to it. The Komatsu dealer is completely useless.
