    Found one of my leaks….

    On my komatsu d41s3 I had a mystery leak on the hydraulic rank area. Turns out it is the tank itself. You can see where the fluid had washed away the dirt, I cleaned it and literally watched the fluid seep through the metal. I am guessing a hair line crack I cannot see. Is the only repair...

    Fixing rutted roads question

    Hydraulic hose question

    I have a Komatsu D41s-3 with a leaky hose. Is there a way I can get a size and have it made before I remove it? I can measure length and maybe the fitting OD..it is under the cab and I would like to swap it quickly

    Steering clutch case oil komatsu D41s3

    My loader left steering clutch works great when cold, as it warms up and the fluid gets hot it begins to quit releasing. The brake bands are adjusted to spec. My guess is the throwout cylinder is leaking a bit. The manual calls for straight sae 10wt in the case. The oil is dirty, I am...

    Komatsu d41-s3 and stump pulling

    Machine weighs 28,000lbs, if I put a root rake in place of the bucket (or if there is an attachment to go on the bucket) how well will this machine do pulling pine stumps? First machine ever, no idea what I am doing other than having fun

    Komatsu Dd41 s3 bucket pins and bushings

    Hello all. I just purchased my first piece of heavy equipment. I bought a Komatsu D41 s3 with a new engine in it. The undercarriage is excellent and runs well. The hydraulic cylinders were leaking at the seals so they have been removed and sent to the shop. The lower pins and bushings on...
