    Ford CL340 question on how they operate

    So I have a CL340 that has an issue where the left and right sides operate differently. If jacked up and turned off the left wheels can free wheel whereas the right wheels are locked up. My understanding is they should be locked up. When driving the unit I can easily turn right by releasing...

    Ford CL340 Wheel bearing issue

    So I need to replace the wheel bearing in this skid steer. The part number is ERK43174 which is the bearing already mounted in the hub. That is no longer available so Im hoping the bearing is a standard unit and I just need to get it out and look for one. I have the hub out and it has the...

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    Hi thanks, no dealer around, I found the part number but figured I should be able to buy a simple fitting locally or online from a hydraulic parts house but cannot identify what each end is. Also, Anderson is where I attempted to buy the floating seal for the drive and the part they send me...

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    Hi thanks I will look at what it takes to remove the floor, one cable for sure needs to be changed but the opening is so tight I may need to remove a smaller one first to make room for the fitting.. ~ Phil

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    That does not sound fun, I watched a youtube video of someone replacing the final drive and hoses on a different make excavator (was green) and it was very easy design to access the fittings under the unit.

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    Hello thank you for the diagram, so I have looked up from the bottom and do not see a way to get my hands and a wrench up in the small space available to see the end of the hoses in the center swivel joint area. Is there a special wrench used for this or do they hire 10yr olds with tiny...

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    Hi so im not your average home owner and thus have an excavator, but thats it for experience with heavy equipment. Most maint I've done on it beyond oil and grease is to repin the bucket and arm. Can you describe what is involved with decoupling the cab and then how I would tilt it without it...

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    Update - So I found I could purchase the floating seal from aga-parts.com, Ive removed the final drive and cleaned it as best I can, waiting on parts to take apart as I do not have the memory I did 25 years ago. My new question is on the hoses that feed the final drive, one for sure needs to be...

    Takeuchi TB015 Final Drive Leaking

    So doing my annual maint before using it and one of the final drives is leaking the gear oil right out of it. Did some research and it looks like it is most likely the 'floating seal' I took the front cover off and it doesnt look too bad, not much gunk at all in it so I think I caught it...

    So your saying I need a press to install them? Also, it appears every part for this from the source I found, Anderson Equipment.com is back order status.... Just not looking good at this point to get it back up and running and not continue to damage it. ~ Phil

    takeuchi tb 015 Bucket sloppy looking for parts and how to

    Hi so you are saying they bushings cannot be tapped in with say a heavy composite mallet? I do not have a portable press, can they be 'tapped' in using a 4x4 end against the bushing and then tapping it in with a heavy hammer or mallet? ~ Phil
