    Auction Takeuchi TL150 - Moves funny or not at all, pls help

    Back to the OPs issue, I agree that double checking Pilot Pressure is key. In fact, you should check ALL the key pressures. You need a set of proper pressure gauges, lines and fittings. Generally you need a low pressure gage, a high pressure gage, lines, and some adapters to suit the various...

    Auction Takeuchi TL150 - Moves funny or not at all, pls help

    No leaks anywhere. Without physical leaks, the cylinders can not droop due to volumetric mismatch. I will see what the dealer parts dept says... Thanks.

    Auction Takeuchi TL150 - Moves funny or not at all, pls help

    Interesting to hear your perspective. It was a BIG project to fix it, and I was a complete newb to hydraulics, so it was a learning experience. Since you sound knowledgeable on Taks (and I apologize in advance to the OP for thread hijacking....!) but I have a bucket that droops when loaded. I...

    Auction Takeuchi TL150 - Moves funny or not at all, pls help

    I think I know what your issue is. There is a weak point in the TL-150 / Mustang MTL25. The HST Pump "servo control cylinder" design is terrible. Hard operation (ie...employees who know only two speeds...100% and off) causes the piston to rock, and there is only one seal ring. It starts to...

    MTL-25 (Tak TL-150) Two Speed Motor Issue

    Well...I may have answered my own question. I found this thread on lawn site dotcom http://www.********.com/threads/takeuchi-lost-its-rabbit.328025/ The TL-140 and TL-150 use the same Sub Control Valve assembly. It looks like I need to replace Solenoid A, which is Part 8 on Page IV-49.

    MTL-25 (Tak TL-150) Two Speed Motor Issue

    I have a MTL-25 (Tak TL-150) which has a perplexing problem I am hoping someone can assist me with. The machine has 3000 hours, and we just did a rebuild on the pump (not the whole pump...just the control sleeves actually, which wear out on these Sauer Sundstrand pumps). The main pumps are...

    Planetary Section Preventative Maintenance - TAK TL-150

    The only thing challenging I can see with regards to re-assembly is the bearing pre-load. The Service Manual does not say anything...but it is pretty clear that the thicknesses of the retaining rings #28 and #29, along with the spacer #17 must be properly set to get the right pre-load between...

    Planetary Section Preventative Maintenance - TAK TL-150

    Just bought a used Tak TL-150. Bought it from the original owner, 3000 hours on it. Machine is cosmetically a bit beat up, but it feels tight and runs great. The thing that stuck in my mind the most when I checked it out was that all the pins were tight, and looked like they were greased all...

    High Hour Used TK TL150 - What to look for?

    I am looking at a Takeuchi TL150 with 3900 hours on it. It will be used on my own property....so light use...primarily maintaining Motocross tracks. For a high hour TL150...what danger signs and wear points should I worry about? Tracks - should have been replaced 2-3 times Wheels -...
