    Komatsu D-68 Steering issue when hot

    Interesting point kiwi, the day before the o-ring on the fitting between the hard pipe and hose that feeds the steering clutch pump blew out. The guys put a generic metric o-ring in, wonder if it is maybe sucking air in that spot, maybe not correct o-ring?

    Komatsu D-68 Steering issue when hot

    Just bought a D-68P-1 LGP dozer. Is in excellent shape for the age. The guy I bought it from just went through the finals and replaced the steering clutches. When the dozer gets warm/hot after pushing for an hour or so the steering fades out on both clutches... I am not familiar with these...

    Crummy time

    There is a similar story Contract Logger, that happened on the white river tree farm years back. I wont say his name- his crew was tired of of how he treated and was quite a screamer, so he showed up on the landing with a brand new pickup, parked over the skyline, started screaming at the crew...

    135 kobelco

    I agree with you they all have pros and cons, but as an owner the deeres and hitachis bring twice as much when it comes to trade in time. I will leave it at that, its like chevy, ford or dodge.

    Schematics for making a homemade mechanical coupler??

    Piper 100 wondering

    I have a piper 100 pipe lazer, it wanders at about 300 ft up to about an inch. It has been in the shop 3 times they say there is nothing wrong. Using a fan helps a little but still is a pain. Especially when laying sewer mains that are real flat.

    problems getting 650G in gear

    Sounds like you might just have a linkage problem, should be relitively easy to fix in my opinion, those are not very complicated. Pull off the cover and give your linkage rods a visual, might be a simple fix.

    Another dumb question - does the blade float?

    Float just means that there is no hydraulic pressure applied in either direction, so the weight of the blade is the only down pressure. Its just like if you were to un pin the cylinder.
