    Linde H25 engine governor issue

    Thanks for the info. I had a look today and there is no water in the fuel and no algae. The lift pump is not pumping like it should so I am looking for a replacement.

    Linde H25 engine governor issue

    Hello All I have a Linde H25D-03 forklift with a Perkins 903.27 engine in it. Recently for around ten minutes after starting the engine it is slow or non responsive to accelerator changes and has at times idled down so low it stalls. At first I thought it might be the hydraulic throttle from the...

    Ditch Witch 2300 blowing oil out breather

    Hello All I have an old Ditch Witch 2300 with the Wisconsin VH4D engine. It runs perfectly on the flat but as soon as you drive up a slope it starts spewing engine oil out the breather/fill tube. Oil level is not overfull. Could there be a baffle or something missing from the breather tube...

    305CR boom swing pivot repair

    Finally got a price on the Nord Lock and it's $3175.00 for one pin and taper locks. Way out of my price league. Looks like I will be putting it back together as is for now. Maybe down the track I can look at welding the bore and boring it out. The Nord Lock cannot handle ovality and the bores...

    305CR boom swing pivot repair

    Heard back from Fortus and they don't do any pins for the 305CR. Will try Nord Lock direct and see what they say. Might have to just weld up the cracks and put it back together for now.

    305CR boom swing pivot repair

    Looking at the Nord Lock Expander website it says; The Expander System is perfect for repairs even if the lugs are badly worn. The expansion sleeves expand to conform to the wear patterns and lock the system into place. There is no need for time consuming and expensive welding practices. Fortus...

    305CR boom swing pivot repair

    Went looking for parts on Machinery Trader and found this wreck with a long stick and a hydraulic grab so I guess they work after all. Fortus in WA also make the expander pins and I have asked them for a quote.

    305CR boom swing pivot repair

    Hello Chrisso Thank you very much for the information. A quick search for expander pins and I found this website that even lists the 305CR. Cat want $1008 for the standard pin so I am guessing the expander setup from Cat would be very expensive. You mentioned line boring but even with the...

    305CR boom swing pivot repair

    Hello All What started as a decision to remove the hydraulic pipes from the boom to clean the rust off them and repaint them has turned into a repin/rebush of some of the pivots as well as a crack repair on the stick. The problem is the main pivot for the boom swing is worn. The pin is badly...

    Cat 305CR swing motor brake

    Hello Underdog. No one said to drain the tank, that was what I assumed would need to be done to get the pump off far enough to change the coupling. I thought the pump suction hoses were clamped to a saddle where they went under the frame work but I found that the saddle floated with the hoses...

    Cat 305CR swing motor brake

    Hello All Thanks for the replies. I had planned on doing what John C said but I was hoping there was an easy method to release the brake and swing it around to a better location. A twenty liter bucket fits under easily when the drain is not over a track or the blade and it only takes sixty...

    Cat 305CR swing motor brake

    Both I guess. I want to catch the oil for reuse and I can't get anything between the track and the drain plug to catch it. The excavator blew a hose recently and most of the oil is fairly new.

    Cat 305CR swing motor brake

    Hello All The coupling between the engine and the hydraulic pumps has let go. Part of the replacement procedure is to drain the hydraulic oil. Unfortunately the drain port on the hydraulic tank is right above the right track. Is there anyway to release the brake on the swing motor so I can...

    Ca 305CR Missing Accumulator

    Hello Nige Thanks for the info. If that's all the accumulator does I think I can live with out it for now. So the valves that I thought were leaking are not leaking but the cap bolts on the relief valve below those two valves were loose and that is the area the oil appeared to be coming from...

    Ca 305CR Missing Accumulator

    Hello Nige The serial number is in my signature but I had 305CE instead of 305CR. Sorry about that. Serial number is CAT00305VDGT01480. Regards Phil

    Ca 305CR Missing Accumulator

    Hello All My 305CR had a bad hyd leak under the seat. I traced the issue to the accumulator control valve but also found that there is no accumulator on my 305. I am not sure if it has been removed of if it was never fitted with one. What effect would the missing accumulator have? Just wondering...

    D3C Ripper Valve

    Hello Nige Thanks for the reply. I spoke to my nephew about the machine and he confirmed that it is a grey import. I will order a 9T-7641 valve and all the other parts I need to add the ripper valve and lever control. Only one part is listed as NLA so I might have to make that part up. Regards...

    D3C Ripper Valve

    Hello All I need to fit a set of rippers to a D3C. I am trying to find a ripper valve to add to the valve bank but the serial number is not recognized by SIS. The serial number is 9CL00495. This is an LGP model. Would the valve bank be the same on the standard version? 4TS, 5NS, 6SL, 7XL are all...
