    EX60-3 wiring diagram

    Thanks for the diagram! Appreciate it. Well I found the wires I need but before I do anything drastic is there a way to bypass the circuit so it doesn’t get stuck in low speed and low idle? It can barely go up hills currently.

    EX60-3 wiring diagram

    Looking for a wiring diagram for my ex60-3. Machine is stuck in slow track mode and the lights on the upper dash no longer work. I can still control throttle with the buttons but not the track speed.

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    Ive dug even further into this transmission mess. My dozer, a D65e-6 had a 144-15-00015 transmission in it which is a series newer than what it came with originally. I have located a 144-15-00018 transmission that came out of a D65e-8 dozer. Going through the parts books of each trans I have...

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    Looks interesting for sure. Pinion is rusted but I have a new one. One concern is the the number stamped looks like -0014 not -00015 written in pen. Any idea what shipping would be?

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    After months of battling with this machine in an attempt to find another transmission the only ones we can find are later model ones. Can anyone confidently tell me if a model 144-15-0017 will work in place of a 144-15-0015 transmission?

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    Here's a question. How hard is the TC to do with the trans in place?

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    Well here's the problem with determining its history. One it has no hour meter and two it came from rickety brothers. All I know is someone painted it green and that's it.

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    I'm confused? Is there something more in that picture I sent that I didn't see? Or are you referring to a different problem that can happen?

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    The question is should I do the TC as well? If it is a strong yes then do these overhaul kits come with TC parts as well? What kit manufacturers should I be using overall?

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    The pinion has a small chunk taken out of it. Is this worth worrying about? It's not directly in the face of the tooth. Finding a replacement pinion might be a problem.

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    20$ temperature gun was way cheaper than a 200$ Komatsu gauge. My oil never looked or smelled bad after the first oil change. I would be more worried about the seals and clutches getting damaged before the oil goes bad. The oil can probably take the higher temperature for longer, but the...

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    Yes indeed. Way too reliable. Way too simple. Zero electronics. I would say better built than a D6 of the era (don't shoot me). The downside is parts and the cost.

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    Here's the picture of my transmission strainer removed and the goo that came out of it. The goo was over an inch deep in the bottom of the case. At the time we thought it was causing a sluggish start to the dozer by choking off the strainer. Also none of the goo contained any steel chunks or...

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    I was able to find a few aftermarket kits plus two Komatsu Genuine overhaul kits. I'm just waiting for a parts breakdown of the cheaper kits. Only 285$ seems awfully cheap.

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    I can only tell you what i went through to get to where i am. It may not have been the right way but it was certainly better than the "throw parts and see what sticks" way. My first sign of a problem was a lot of clutch material in the bottom of the transmission, and i mean a lot. I will post...

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    You are right. Can't get clutch pack anymore. In order to fix what went wrong i need at least the forward set. From what my mechanic said the piston has overextended and blown out a seal. I'm looking for a used transmission as well but so far no such luck.

    Komatsu D65E-6 transmission overheating issue found, need advice

    After battling an over heating torque convertor issue on my dozer for the better part of a year and without throwing parts at it except gaskets and orings we have finally found out why it gets hot. The forward first gear clutch leaks internally in the transmission bypassing the oil cooler. I'm...

    Oil pressure warning light, DEERE 200C

    Just had the exact same issue with my 270 at 12,000 hours. After teeing off on the turbo feed line it ran with 75psi on the gauge but after a few minutes the warning light and buzzer started going off again but the psi stayed the same. Phoned my dealer and they had three new sensors sitting on...
