    Oops. How bad is it ? kobelco ED190

    . A customer of mine called tonight to tell me he had his reading glasses fall into the hydraulic tank! He was adding oil to the tank, and obviously he had pulled the basket strainer out to get oil in the tank faster and to observe where the oil level was. I know, not a good idea, but many...

    Part/parts needed: Cat 112 motor grader

    I'm trying to help a customer get his old grader going. 112 motor grader S/N 3U1586. Last winter they fired it up to grade ice off the yard, and cold transmission oil or ice in the oil built up enough pressure in the transmission filter to break the top off the filter. The part that failed is...
