    Hitachi EX200 hydraulic pump is stalling the engine

    There is something that you can physically do to check the computer. I took the one we were having trouble with a part and the board had a burned spot on it. If it has a physically condition than you can bet on it that it is junk. A computer can still be bad with no physical sign, but it...

    Hitachi EX200 hydraulic pump is stalling the engine

    Had this problem on a JD 490E (which is a Hitachi) the circuit board in the computer for the hydraulic system was bad. Replaced this computer and it has ran fine since. I worked on this machine after 4 John Deere dealerships had given up on it. Believe me when I tell you it is cheaper to...

    d7 3-t caterpillar

    It is shame that people don't know what is a good dozer, these machines will be around for another 50 years. Tranny Hydraulic oil is fine, been running this in mine since '86. Final drives 80/90W if it doesn't run right out on the ground from having bad bellow seals. If it leaks, 140W won't...

    The pulse of America

    I know exactly what I'm talking about. Do you? If you had the capacity to comprehend, never mind too big of words for you. Try reading ****, Jane and Spot; then get back to me. Edit: A prime example of what is wrong, the name of a person banned. The good old USA, politicially correct...

    The pulse of America

    America has a pulse? I thought it flat lined sometime ago. There are very few people that know the difference between drawing a pay check and earning one. Most people seem to believe that all one has to do is go to the backyard and pull money off the tree. If we could market laziness and...

    Koehring 666; operating weight?

    Run an old 466D and nobody around my area can beat it. It has more crowd power than any machine in its weight range. Besides this I can lift more than other machines. Recently I gained attention when I cleared trees from a ditch that I dedged. I was knocking trees down so fast that some...

    Your first piece of equipment owned or operated was?

    Purchased in 1987 a Koehring 466D excavator and still have her. She just snapped the axle that runs the drive chains and I'm in need of one. Any help would be appreciated.
