    How to remove front hydro motor

    Stone 3100 double drum. Trying to remove front driver's side motor to put a seal in it. Wouldn't budge, then I jacked up frame a little and it moved a little. Can't figure out how to remove it. Shouldn't the spline just slide in without retainer?

    I come for dirt equipment, all my excavators have a safety that blocks hydraulics on joysticks. Owner did think 410d has safety but it sure seems like it does. Thanks

    Installing 943 final drive

    How do you line up splines? I'm assuming the parking brake acts like air brakes and They are on without pressure supplied. If I start machine to rotate drive motor will oil pour out parking brake line? Cat manual basically says use to studs to guide on, strap to forklift and install. Everything...

    Removing pivot shafts

    943 parts machine. Forcing screws won't separate, broke one off. Tried heat. Penetration oil. Removed trans pan and pickups. 10 ton porta power inside frame didn't work. Tried 100 ton power pack cylinder today nothing moves. I've hit it with sledge hammer and it won't even crack where mated. I'm...

    CAT 943 transmission whine

    A good 943 is awesome, a ctl can't touch a 943, I own 3 and would always buy another! Dipstick goes under trans cap in small punch out just big enough for dipstick.

    Bobcat T-630 AC FUSE KEEPS BLOWING

    As said above, disconnect everything on the circuit and add back until it blows, then you found problem. Had a roller one time that shorted a cold timing advance sensor, had to disconnect everything in the dash and go through 10 fuses to find the issue. Took many hours to find

    Looking for tl26 salvage

    Wondering if anyone knows where a takeuchi tl26 or tl126 parts or salvage machine is? I have an experimental machine with the Isuzu I'd like to put a production pump on because this one is a bad design on pilot control. Wanting to save it but these things are hard to find these days.

    Zx200LC auxiliary control

    Hitachi 2007 model. Dealer was no help. My machine has auxiliary lines on boom which makes me believe the valve is there but no control in cab. If the valve is there how do you control it? Electric over hydraulic? And does anyone know the gpm to auxiliary circuit? Thanks!

    Cat 943 erratic steering

    Found machine and they say sometimes it turns, sometimes it changes direction, sometimes it erratic. Any ideas? My cat dealer doesn't have any ideas to what it could be. A guy told me one time he had one that had erratic steering and it was an oring inside transmission. I'd like to get it as I...

    Kubota SVL75 - Track tension issue.

    On 8 year old machine you surely wouldn't think it would be frozen. If you want to retract, remove zerk lift boom and drive against stump will probably have more force than dumping bucket I'd think. Is the zerk a good zerk? I had to replace an u/c zerk before. Did have a machine one time that...

    943 Hydrostat problem?

    A good condition 943 is my favorite track loader, powerful for size, fuel efficient, great visibility, have something behind you for protection, good balance, easy transport. I do believe people overlook the 943, fantastic machine. I have two and make a living with them. Like them so much I had...

    Takeuchi TL10 lower pin removal trick?

    I grease my ctl70 lower pins multiple times a day to prevent this, as they wear dirt easily gets in and as bucket rotates it compacts it into grease port. Have you tried removing grease zerk and drill small bit into bore to remove dirt and maybe spray wd-40 in and soak dirt compacted in vertical...

    Which 10-year-old CTLs have pressurized cabs?

    I know why they have pressurized cabs, mowing and mulching, the smells of the debris can be less than desirable to me. Maybe rayco were pressurized back then?

    Replace drive sprockets??

    Replace drive sprockets??

    Here's the problem, a worn sprocket has a hook if you will so as the track bars come off the teeth the teeth want to keep taking the track with it instead of letting go. If you keep using them I'd cut tips off to allow track to come off sprocket properly and match angle of new. As they get worse...
