    HM400-1 won’t shift out of low gear

    My Komatsu HM400-1 has decided to not shift out of low gear either forward or reverse. it was working fine until it wasn’t, so I am suspecting a wiring or controller issue. I checked the dump bed raise signal and it showing the correct voltage in and correct signal voltage out at the switch...

    Komatsu artic HM-400

    Can anyone tell me what this hydraulic component is and why it is leaking fluid fairly steady after the machine reaches operating temperature? And what it would take to rebuild this component. It is on the left side of the machine behind the front tire and forward of the strut. I think there...

    JD 350G hyd hose coming apart internally

    Machine is only four years old with 2000 hours. I bought it recently and have already had to install a turbo and actuator, probably because it sat for about a year in New Mexico after it came off JD lease. Last Thursday it started overheating and giving a low fan speed code. Took it to dealer...

    Blade shaker 750K

    Does a Deere 750K shake the blade if you move the control handle rapidly side-to-side? I ran this machine this week for the first time since I bought it about a year ago, and with material sticking to my blade I attempted to shake it, and nothing happens when I shake the handle. The machine is...

    Will a RM mill asphalt and also mix soil cement?

    I need to rent a machine to mill some asphalt to be removed and sold as millings, and then to mix soil cement. Will one machine, say a Cat RM350 or something similar, do both jobs? Is it even feasible to take up asphalt and sell the millings using a road reclaimer?

    What is this toggle switch for? BladePro system

    Does anyone know the purpose of the toggle switch as seen attached to the top right control lever in this photo? This is part of my BladePro system, and when I toggle it some of the control box displays and lights illuminate, but I've not taken it any further than that. The toggle switches on...

    What width buckets made for JD350D or G?

    I am doing some equipment swapping and one of the casualties is that I am probably going to lose the narrow (18 inch? or maybe it is 24 inch) bucket for my 210 class excavators. This is what I have been cutting roots and getting big trees down with on right-of-way clearing. Now I'm going to...

    Vertical curve in 90 degree turn

    I'm not an experienced grader operator by any means, but I'm pretty much having to build a gravel detour road myself because my operator left me and I haven't found another finish man yet. I've got a long straight stretch in pretty good shape using hubs and whiskers on the lane edges and...

    What will it take to break this chunk in half?

    Building a state highway detour in preparation for replacement of a bridge, and today I encountered this huge chunk of concrete just under ground level. It must have been a footing from the bridge previous to the 1962 bridge that is being replaced. It had to come out and state guy said based...

    Where to find aftermarket plastic skylight for Kobelco 210?

    Has anyone found a source for the replacement of a broken skylight on a Kobelco 210, series -6? The original skylight is made from some sort of smoke-tinted acrylic or polycarbonate material I suppose, so when a limb fell on my cab that was the end of my skylight. Kobelco dealer wants over...

    Roller Frame covers for D7E 48A?

    Does anyone know where to buy new aftermarket roller frame covers for a D7E? Mine are, well, 50 years old and are beat all to heck. But I keep rebuilding the tractor, so I might as well try to make it look a little nicer and keep dirt out of my track adjuster pistons and springs, too.

    Dash Cam for excavator cab

    Is there a dash cam on the market that would record a full work week on one memory card? I would like to have a camera mounted in my excavators behind the operator that I could use to audit operator habits, truck loading cycle times and amounts, and whatever else that this camera would see. It...

    My new used Champion Series V w/ automated machine control

    I just bought a 720 Champion with BladePro automatics. This is my first automated control piece of equipment; I just have a mast and blinking light receiver on my dozer. It is too wet to try it out, but the box works and the blade moves itself when I put it in Automatic mode. Now I just need...

    Laser equipped machine for sale: Does it add any value to me?

    I have posted this scenario in the Lasers section of this forum today, but I wanted you real grader guys to see it also. I have the opportunity to buy my first grader so I can save wear on my dozers, I believe, and I have some uses for it. I have found one well used one for sale that has the...

    Blade Pro on used motor grader

    I am looking at a used motor grader. I do not own one presently; when we need one we rent a neighboring contractor's older John Deere. I want a grader to save wear on my mid-size dozers spreading gravel and pioneering roads on farms and timber tracts. I am also thinking that it would be good...

    What year model is this Champion 720A

    S.N. is 720A-187-917-20185-90. I can't seem to find anything to tell me what year or series this is. I did ascertain from the Volvo website, which has an excellent section on Champion graders, that the Series IV which started in about 1996 I think went to closed center hydraulics. Does...

    Concrete curb cuts: vertical or horizontal

    I need to remove 30 feet of concrete curb next week so as to tie the current project's new driveway into the street. I met with the state highway fellow yesterday to go over the lane closing plan, and he sort of threw cold water on the cutting operation I had in mind. My concrete sub and I had...

    JD 700H speed sensor

    My late serial number 700H is jerking to the left without any input from the operator. This has occurred several times over the last few days both while pushing and traveling. Can anyone verify that this is a symptom of a speed sensor failing? I bought the new part, and would like to have...

    Kobelco 210LC-6 air filter restriction indicator

    My 2006 210LC started showing a "restricted air filter" message soon after I bought it about 2 years ago. A new air filter didn't cure the code, and I couldn't even find the restriction sensor to check it out or wiggle it, but after a few months the machine fixed itself and the control panel...

    Anybody know anything about safety switch on Case 1085C CruzAir wheeled excavator?

    Some guys starting a new mine/quarry that I am hauling some equipment for have purchased a Case 1085C, apparently in as-is, where-is condition, from a dealer. The machine will start and run, but won't operate because (according to the dealer) the cable that operates the master hydraulic safety...
