    Komatsu dozer troubles

    I’ve got service manual. There aren’t any active codes that I’m aware of. Gonna change charge filter again see what fluid in there looks like. Had a small amount of brass particles in In it when I changed it roughly 15 hours ago. Got about 8 more hours left on little job if it’ll hold up and was...

    Komatsu dozer troubles

    I haven’t figured it out yet. I suspect something like pump failure but I would hope not with only 3200 hours. On these last few cooler mornings before machine gets warmed all the way up it will almost turn a circle. Once warmed up it’s not to bad. It’s always same track that does it on mine. I...

    Komatsu dozer troubles

    How do you go about doing that? I haven’t figured the issue out yet. I have noticed on cooler mornings before machine is warmed all the way up that the issue is worse. Will almost turn a circle.

    Komatsu dozer troubles

    I’ve got a 2014 Komatsu d37ex-23. 3200 hours roughly. When you put joystick forward it immediately turns right for a second maybe 2. After that it does great until you switch to reverse and it does the same thing. So each time you switch directions it does that. Everything else seems to be just...

    A few projects I have done recently

    Wow, those margins are 1/3 and 1/4 of the awarded price. That's crazy on that amount of money.

    A few projects I have done recently

    We're both projects awarded to the same contractor? They're either leaving a lot of money on the table, or Missing a ton of stuff. If it's the latter, I'd say chances are good that's the last job they bid lol.

    Used skidsteer attachments

    Finally got a chance to mess with that thing some today, took a quick coupler off the attachment and hooked to bobcat to see which way the fluid flowed, then hooked other quick attach still attached to rake and hooked it to my bobcat then flushed fluid out thru the rake and out hose on rake...

    Thanks for the reply, I may just run it and change fluid and filter in my machine a couple times after running it shortly.

    Used skidsteer attachments

    My machines are fairly new and don't wanna risk it otherwise I'd just run it shortly and change fluid and filter in my machine. I know bobcat is anal about using "their" hydraulic fluid so I figure it can't be good to mix it with a different kind especially when I don't know what that other kind...

    Used skidsteer attachments

    Thanks for the reply, I was afraid it may be that involved but if that keeps from contaminating my machines that's what has to be done. I was thinking, would it be possible to only hook one hose up to machine and take quick disconnect off the other hose and leave it unhooked and some how push...

    Used skidsteer attachments

    I purchased a used bobcat power rake to use with my bobcat, the previous owner was using it with a Takeuchi. My question is will it hurt anything to run it with my bobcat and mixing hydraulic fluids since it has whatever hydraulic fluid Takeuchi uses in it, or should I try to flush that...

    A few projects I have done recently

    I got a kick out of that, but the sad part is, there are really people in this world who look at that and don't see anything wrong. What's even more disturbing is a lot of those people are probably full grown men.
