    Whats wrong with my top roller?

    Is this a production machine or something that will get very little use, like around a farm?

    komatsu D66S-1 01280

    I think they were ahead of there time and the electronics were not robust enough for the operating conditions. The preferred units are serial numbers above 1400. When they are working they are a great machine and would love to get my hands on one. I chased D66's around Virginia when I worked...

    It is the same as going into service mode. hold the "B" drive until service mode pops up, let go of button press again dealer mode will pop up, release button and press again and factory mode will be displayed. Dealer and factory mode require a code from the dealer. The horn feature for tipping...

    Uh...walking hoe into a drained pond? Also need a tracked dump truck!

    You are correct. It will dump left, right or rear. The operators seat also rotates to allow you to drive in and drive out of tight places easily. One project the 3 way would be handy would be interstate work and trying to maneuver between jersey barriers.

    John Deere 350D Hood Problem

    You can drill a hole in the hood and manually release it. You will then have to buy a plug for your hole. Contact your local dealer there is a written instruction on it.

    Uh...walking hoe into a drained pond? Also need a tracked dump truck!

    The other ruber tire option is a Bergmann and can be rented from Stone equipment. Fully loaded it has about 14 psi of ground pressure hauling 15 tons of material. Not always do you need a track truck for soft ground. Our truck will do 80-85% of what a track truck will do and faster, less...

    Hydrema: brand opinion information.

    The small rotating dumper model 912 has a Cummins engine and ZF transmission, The 922 6 wheel dumper also has the Cummins/Zf package. The backhoe is a very nice machine but, not for a rental unit. It's to complicated to operate as in it does so much.

    Bell B40C Heating Issue

    What was the cause for rebuild? I would lock up the fan drive after you see what you have for a temp drop.

    Need Another Off Road Truck

    Another option is a Bergmann. It's a 15 ton unit similar to the Hydrema but our North American operation is in Spartanburg, SC. Stone Equipment is the dealer in Alabama. The rear tip with 750mm tire is only carrying about 10psi of ground pressure, loaded.

    Kamotsu PC300lc-6

    John refresh my memory. One of the dash 6 models 200/220 or 300 had a problem with the harness coming out of the clamp by the engine and it would short out.

    It almost sounds as if your forward solenoid is sticking. When you go to reverse you are applying pressure to forward and reverse.

    Going to Conexpo?

    We heard it from someone that's responsible for a few areas for AEM. I wonder how many of the 130,000 registered are vendors? So vendor numbers really shouldn't count, but my guess are part of that number. The Las Vegas chamber of commerce made a statement on that Tuesday or Wednesday they had...

    Going to Conexpo?

    Attendance was definitely off this year. I heard 130,000 registered and they picked up 90,000 badges. It was busy but not overwhelming like it usually has been in the past. With Volvo cancelling and most of the Volvo dealers cancelling it had an impact for sure.

    1989 Komatsu PC130

    Another question might be does it have long levers or short levers for the hydraulic controls?

    D66S-1

    It's been a long time. I believe you are correct but only for reference voltage not both. So all but throttle will be measure or set for neutral and throttle will be set for full throttle.

    I did the same thing as you when setting up an 855 one time. I set the valves rolled the engine and bent 6 push rods. I had went to Cummins school and did it exactly like we were instructed. That's when we realized industrial engines are not set up like over the road trucks. After we got the...
