    I have a PC138USLC and have a hose from the left arm rest going to the main hub needing replace due to a small abrasion that is a nagging leak. The hose seems new Ky impossible to remove from its bundle due to how they were wrapped together so I proposed to leave the old hose in place, cut off...

    Thanks for you message! I certainly will look at the parts manual and look for that part!

    Komatsu PC138USLC-3 Galeo

    John, thank you for explaining that fill tube by the right side of the cab! My hydraulic tank is covered with a solid cover and no fill tube! It looks like someone has replaced the hydraulic tank with a generic cover plate with no fill port! Right above the tank they cut the fill hose and left...
