    Rubber to steel tracks.

    In the autumn last year I bought a 14-15 ton excavator with rubber tracks. I use it for help around the farm like some landscaping, loading, road making and stump pulling. I have seen that these jobs are pretty harsh conditions for rubber tracks since moving over tree roots and sometimes rocks...

    Excavator, hard starting, unstable low idling, can’t throttle up, keeps running after removing the starter key…

    The machine is Takeuchi TB 1140, 2006, with over 12000 hours on it. This came out of the blue. No signs of any similar problems before that. I started the machine normally, then drove 10 minutes to my neighbor. As I arrived I had to disengage the key two times for it to turn off. After that it...

    K3V63DTP

    Hello! So I have a weak right track on my excavator. I have been doing some testing around this and narrowed down the problem to the pump. When switching the pump outputs the problem goes to the left, as well the boom gets weak and bucket, which makes sense according to this picture of pumps...

    Genuine VS Chinese parts

Buying genuine parts from official dealers would cost me over 2500$/€ (that includes valve plate, cylinder block-rotor and nine pistons). If I order them from China it would cost me 250$/€, shipping...

    TB 1140 Slew Problems

    Hello masters! I have problems on my excavator regarding the slew not stopping. I got myself a manual and some measuring equipment like you already advised me. So the problem is that sometimes when releasing the joystick command the upper structure doesn’t come to an end. But not always. I did...

    TB 1140 Slew Motor

    Hello! I just bought a 2006 used TB 1140 to help me around the farm. The machine runs fantastic with only one problem which is swinging. Sometimes when you swing and release the joystick command the machine stops in that direction but is in “free fall” under it’s own weight, if you are slightly...
