    Mitsubishi MX55 (or MX45)

    I just tried visiting hanixeurope.com and the website appears to be gone. Hopefully they haven't gone out of business since I was in contact with them a few years ago.

    Mitsubishi MX55 (or MX45)

    I believe the Mitsubishi MX45 is a re-badged Hanix S&B480. In my experience Hanix is very helpful in providing parts and service information for older machines. I emailed them asking for manuals for my Hanix S&B300 (identical to Mitsubishi MX35) and they provided pdfs of both the parts manual...

    Hanix is great to deal with for support. Contact them with your serial number: technical@hanixeurope.com They sent me full Parts & Service manuals for my old Hanix S&B when I asked for them.

    The most entertaining "school me"thread... My 1st piece of H.E. Two 80ton Hoes

    Those pictures are from when he went to get the machines from the pit where he bought them. In the post he says they are old pictures. The skidder with the National crane boom was in the same pit.

    The most entertaining "school me"thread... My 1st piece of H.E. Two 80ton Hoes

    I'm pretty confident that's it. See the matching roof in this picture of the house: He's got the machine on the road edge looking back into the property in this photo. Note the powerlines overhead which can be seen in Google Maps. I can't believe I found it so easily. I just looked up Douglas...

    Kubota V1505-E Overheating. Head gasket?

    I've got a Hanix mini excavator that was repowered with a Kubota V1505-E by the previous owner. It overheats when working at high idle. At low rpm it will quickly warm up to 71C from cold, then the thermostat opens and it slowly rises to around 82C (180F) and holds around there. When I increase...

    1994 EX60 URG hydraulic issues works then practically stops

    It could be the flex coupling between the engine and the hydraulic pump, or spun pump shaft splines. Spins under load, catches again at idle.

    Homemade Telescoping Jib

    I only work on my own properties, so that's not a concern for me. These machines are a hobby, I'm not a contractor. I do have certs for the steel and ran FEA analysis on the design before building it for my own peace of mind, but I'm not a ticketed welder.

    Homemade Telescoping Jib

    Those 3 way ball valves are pricey. I looked at them for aux hydraulics, but a pair of them was the same cost as a second 6-way solenoid valve, so I went that route so I never need to leave the seat. If I go with a winch I can probably deal with quick connects, as I'll never switch over to thumb...

    Homemade Telescoping Jib

    I was so tempted to do that too. Right now I've just commandeered the boom-offset function for this to get it working, but the eventual plan is to use these two 6-way valves I bought and run some more lines up the boom. I'm going to put a DPDT switch on the dash, Up will switch one coil on to...

    Homemade Telescoping Jib

    I know from experience moving oversized riprap with this machine that the port reliefs will crack open and bleed down a cylinder before the machine ever gets tippy. It will move some surprisingly large rocks though for this size of machine. I want to ensure I'm well on the safe side working...

    Homemade Telescoping Jib

    That's what I'm anticipating. I picked my design loads to ensure the attachment is stronger than the capacity of the machine. The heaviest handrail I'm putting up with it is under 250 lb. I'm curious what it will do though. It's a lot more stable than I expected when I was jumping on it fully...
