    Hyundai 320 engine ID required.

    Hi team. Is anyone in possession of a Hyundai 320LC-7A? I have a customer who needs a new engine due to a fire and the engine serial number can't be found. It's obviously a Cummins something-or-other but anything other than Caterpillar is somewhat out of my wheelhouse. If anyone can get me a...

    Mini excavator dash restoration

    Hi Team. This is the dash from an old Takeuchi TB015. As you can see, the manufacturers decided to make the paint on the warning lights water soluble. I'm looking for ideas on how to restore it. Maybe some transparent decals? Does anyone know of anything available off the shelf? It doesn't...

    Has anyone used online shop manual websites?

    Hi team. I need to download shop and parts manuals for a JCB JS290. Now there are about a thousand websites saying they have the information for around $30 which is OK, but does anyone have first-hand experience with any of them. I don't particularly want to get ripped off before I find one...

    Guess the problem....

    Cat 140H. Dealer did a service about a year ago. Machine has been playing up ever since. Briefly puts on the alarm under moderate engine load and logs a sensor supply voltage code. Any guesses?

    A sad day today

    Today I broke the tip off my favourite screwdriver. Here it is besides the new one I keep in stock to mitigate this very eventuality, but it's not the same. It will probably be in my estate auction before it can achieve a similar patina and hand-feel. *Pray for RS 544-667* (and don't worry...

    Cat Comm Adapter III power experiments

    Nige and I were discussing giving CA3 its own power supply to speed up reconnection with an ECM. Here's some answers: How much power does the CA3 draw? It draws between about 140 - 170 mA at 14v whether connected to an ECM or not. Does the CA3 reconnect any quicker if it retains its power? It...

    Roof mounted A/C evaporator needed

    Hi all. We are trying to retro-fit a Cat 299C JSP prefix with an external roof mount A/C evaporator, but we are having trouble finding one. There are plenty of roof mount self contained A/C units and also internally mounted evaporators available, but it's not what we're looking for. Anyone...

    Blue plastic caps. A familiar story.

    Well it happened again. A plastic cap left in a line at reassembly led to a full day of troubleshooting and R&I to fix it. And who was to blame this time? Me. I did it. Guilty your honour. But what's the answer? I appreciate there are systems of work in aircraft maintenance where everything...

    Mini excavator stick end boss machining

    We have a stick from a 6T mini excavator in the workshop and we're cutting out the boss from the end, machining a new one and welding it in. Now we've done plenty on bigger machines where we bore the boss on the lathe to finished size and, with decent pre/post heat, weld them in without any...

    Cmark's random photo thread

    I was tidying up the files on my computer and realised that I have literally hundreds of photos detailing some of the various repairs we had done, going back maybe 10 years, so I thought some may be of interest. I'll generally post them without any narration, but if anyone has any questions or...

    Cummins QSC 8.3 oil filter.

    We've recently taken over the maintenance of a Cummins QSC 8.3 and have had problems with the oil filter coming loose and leaking. If we tighten it with a filter strap beyond "normal" hand-tight, it seems OK, but then it's hard to get off. Before we buy a new filter head, has anyone come across...
