    PC220-07

    Have a PC220-7 that was running fine when I parked it a month ago. Today it fired up fine but when I idled it up with the manual throttle it went up like it normally does and then goes higher once you use one of the functions. Except for now it won't idle up on the boom/stick or bucket and it...

    A25C rim

    Does anyone know if a rim for a A25C (23.5 R25 tire) crosses over or is the same as others like a deere 250C? Or if the 25D series Volvo rim is the same? I would really like to get a spare rim/tire (checked the local wreckers and no one has anyone A25s that they are parting out.)

    A25C Trans replacement

    Got my new trans installed over the weekend. Things went well and I was driving around yesterday. I do have a question though. The solenoid for the trans retarder (the one mounted on the transmission). One of the lines comes from the retarder pedal and the other I am not sure where it goes. The...

    A25C Trans replacement

    Started on the trans replacement on my A25 this weekend. Bit of work for certain. Some takeaways for those who have not done this: - Fuel lines on my truck were similar to airbrake hose from the tank and then to a adapter fitting to some type of metric flare. I had problems finding plugs so...

    Komatsu -7 and -8 undercarriage

    Hi there, does anyone know if a undercarriage from a -8 machine is a direct bolt on to a -7 machine? Or did Komatsu make changes to the undercarriage design? Purpose of the question is that there is wrecked 2016 PC200-8 with a good undercarriage up for sale and I was wondering if it would fit on...

    580SM replacing brakes

    Hi fellas, got all the parts to do the brakes on my backhoe. Questions for those who have done this before: 1. What is the best way to drop the rear axle? I guess a better question would be best way to reinstall? I am thinking of using a floor or transmission jack to lower support it while I...

    Overvoltage on A25C

    Figured I would start a new thread. I am getting over voltage on my Contronic display. At idle, output is 27-28V and at 2000rpm it goes as high as 31V. I presume this could be either a bad alternator or bad cell in one of my batteries? Has anyone else had this type of issue?

    New to me A25C

    Picked up a 1997 A25C SN 5350V9574 at auction and it seems to have the typical age related issues. Just got it to my yard today, drove it around for a bit, and it upshifts/down shifts through forward gears but when backing up if you are fwd-reversing a couple times eventually it will not engage...

    3406 engine info

    This is the dataplate for a engine on a 2002 735 ADT and I am questioning the HP rating as the CAT specs show a rating of 394 hp for this truck. I am wondering if this engine has been swapped at some time to a different higher hp model?

    L220E won't lift front tires off ground

    What are the potential reasons a 220E won't lift the front tires off the ground? I have tried using the curl to change the bucket angle etc and made sure the float control was off. Pushing the lift cylinders all the way down and they are not retracting fully and lifting the front wheels off the...

    Deere 844K derate condition

    Hi there, I was looking over a 844K that is for sale and came across the following stored codes. (See attached) I presume that the CAN codes being thrown would cause the derate condition as the time stamps are similar ? I also presume that these codes that are being generated are likely wiring...

    Howdy, is there a way to determine by visual inspection if a 844K has the optional secondary steering? Thanks in advance.

    Evaluating Volvo Artics at Auction

    Hi there, I am going to be looking at some A30ds (there are 4 with hrs ranging from 12,000-21,000) that are coming up at auction. Is there a way to know if the transmission has been changed by visually looking at it? I know there are obvious things like paint etc but I was wondering if there was...

    Komatsu WA180-1

    Hi there, can anyone tell me what the icon on the bottom left is for on this loader? And when I should toggle it? I suspect it is diff or lockup related but sure seems like a odd spot sharing a toggle switch with a light.

    New guy

    Hi there, thanks for accepting me to the forum. Grew up on a farm but have been getting more involved with heavy equipment. Placer mine in BC, Canada and have a CASE 580SM, WA180-1 and PC220LC-7. Looking to add a A25C.
