    Magnetic Plugs in Final Drives

    I'd really like an off the shelf solution that I would be able to apply fleet wide, we have 23 or so machines that could benefit from such an upgrade. I can certainly make something to test out, but I figured this would be a standard option for anyone with a large fleet and a maintenance...

    Magnetic Plugs in Final Drives

    I might give this a try, I'd have to be very sure they were secure! How does no one make these? Seems like such an obvious thing, especially for a fleet.

    Magnetic Plugs in Final Drives

    I manage a fleet of forestry equipment. All swing drives on our harvesters and all gear boxes on our forwarders are equipped with magnets on the drain plugs. However none of the track drive gear boxes on our harvesters or excavators are equipped with magnetic plugs. Does anybody know why that is...

    Kobelco SK130LC wiring diagram

    Did you ever find the right o-rings for those joystick pilot valves? I've got the same issue on an SK120 and just got the wrong o-rings from my dealer for $110!

Any John Deere guys out there know anything about this code? As far as I can see the first step is to download a new payload for...

    IQAN issues- 2001 fabtek with 240 head

    I was hoping to see the IQAN MG system throw an error code but it doesn't seem to be very good at self diagnosing this issue, resistance on both coils is even and good with the other ones, around 6 ohms each. When the function first acts up the boom slams down quickly almost like a current...

    IQAN issues- 2001 fabtek with 240 head

    I wanted to rule out electrical before I moved to hydraulic, as far as i can see the problem is definitely electrical, I can't catch the exact moment it screws up, but when I go to move the boom after it drops jarringly, I get no voltage or current at the coil in either direction. Then I move...

    IQAN issues- 2001 fabtek with 240 head

    I've been working on an issue with a 2001 Fabtek 153 with a 240 head. In the first few minutes of running the machine when you go to lower the main boom it will slam down a couple feet and then the main boom function will stop working for a couple seconds. When you go to the IQAN screen and look...
