    Hitachi ex200 lc

    How many hours on the machine? Does the straight EX200 have the screen on the suction side inside the hydraulic tank like the UH machines ?

    Deere vs. Cat 160-200 size excavators

    Get the bigger machine. In my experience ( I have 4 excavators) you always want more reach, power. I've never wished for a smaller machine, except if you're just taking out the trash !

    3306 Engine Oil Synthetic or Standard SAE 30 ?

    I've got a D6C and use 15/40 in it. Question ... I need to change torque converter/transmission oil. Book calls for 30wt. Is that still the protocol or has it changed for the older machines ?

    D6C running hot

    What a mess this D6 is turning into! I got new oil coolers for this machine and in draining the radiator man there was a LOT of oil in the radiator/cooling system! I'm going to need to flush this out several times and wondering what is the best way to flush the oil sludge out? Any kind of...

    D6C running hot

    Okay thanks! It's not black, tan colored, so I suspect it's the torque converter cooler. We'll see when I get them pulled.

    D6C running hot

    No bubbles when I checked. Don't think it's cracked head or head gasket. Any way to tell if the oil is coming from the engine oil cooler or the Torque converter oil cooler ?

    D6C running hot

    I have a D6C ( ser#10K7399) has been running fine. Usually the temp gauge barely gets into the green. Went to use it a couple days ago and after running it for 30 mins noticed it was running hot. I shut it down and let it cool off overnight. Next morning I took the radiator cap off to add...

    Need knowledge for 1960 955H electrical

    Travis, I've got an old 955H that I have had for 40 yrs. There is two switches on the dash, one for the glow plugs that "clicks" when you engage the plugs. The other switch is for engaging the starter. Be sure the terminals on the back of the switch are not all corroded and making poor...

    Volvo A35 brake issue

    Well I finally got my truck fixed! It was indeed a bad unloading/relief valve. Swapped for the used one I managed to find and my truck brake pressure is back up to normal. Thanks guys for all the help/suggestions! Now I'm back to hauling paydirt

    Volvo A35 brake issue

    I pulled the pump off and had the Volvo guys check it. They said it was fine so I have to take their word and rule out the pump as the issue. No, I did not change oil but I am going to dump it and make sure it's cleaned out. I did finally find a used unloading/relief valve that is suppose to...

    Volvo A35 brake issue

    Thanks! I did replace the two non-return valves in the non-return valve block. Those were the only new parts I could get. The breakdown of the relief valve that FWF sent is correct. I used that for reference when I took mine apart. I fail to see, unless something in the relief valve is bad...

    Volvo A35 brake issue

    Just an update on this brake issue of mine. I got some parts last winter and this Spring I rebuilt the non-return valve. I could not find any parts to rebuild the unloading/relief valve or find a used valve. So I took the old one off and tore it apart. Nothing looked obviously bad in the valve...

    Hitachi UH122

    I had a UH083 machine. Loved it and what a workhorse! Those Isuzu engines are the bomb and very fuel efficient. Best part about those machines is no electronics !! After sitting for so long be prepared for the girl to spring leaks everywhere.

    A25C rim

    Indeed ... I ordered an extra rim for my 966C from Cat. My wife went to town to pick it up (600 mile round trip). I was very unhappy when she came home with only the base rim! Got ahold of Cat to voice my frustration and they replied " you didn't order the complete rim assembly" ! Lesson...

    Hitachi Dr ZX

    I never could get WinDr to work on a laptop. Always some port issue and nothing I tried worked. Finally bought one of the Palm Pilot with DrZX loaded. After figuring out the screwed up connector issue it has worked great for me. No problem reading EX machines. I have a EX200-3, a EX300-3 and a...
