    The Ultimate Loader??

    OK.......you said ULTIMATE??? Been around a while. Go back a few years. It was before it's time and too advanced for rope and shovel era. That time is gone. Do a search for Bucyrus Erie, Model 60S. 5 yard loader that could out load 10 yard machines at 1/3 the fuel.

    Adding a thumb to a 2009 Kobelco SK170 markIII

    SK330LC Kobelco Engine Question

    Sir, With respect you have more problems than that. The model numbers you show on top of the engine say it is NOT the correct engine. It should say Model 6D16-TLEB and rated at 177kW/2200 Rpm. You do or should have a more powerful engine than original. What is different around it, is anyone's...

    Kobelco WLK9 Hydrostat Trans bypass procedure needed

    Hi Hyperpack. That machine was made by O&K construction division. CNH purchased that division around five years ago, so you could start with Case dealer. The machine is a hydrostatic drive and so the oil is locked in the motors. DO NOT DISCONECT THE HYDRAULIC LINES..you will destroy the...

    Kobelco Blade runner, replace a dozer????

    The final drives on the ED 195 are not only two sizes up, but the motor displacement is reduced for more torque and durability. The chains are SALT like a dozer. That is NOT a back fill blade if you look at it,,,, MUCH heavier. At over 43,000# I have personally pushed a 180HP class dozer...

    The machine you have was made by Fermec of Manchester UK, formerly Massey Fergussen, Case bought the factory and Kobelco got away from them. Fiat bought Case and Case sold the company to Terex.
