Kato 770 se would have been the old 4 stick controlled ones boy what fun they were..
Jason M I'm just across the LA border in Texas and have been looking for drive motor parts for my 1220 SE II. Were you ever able to find a dealer for parts (new or used)? I have been without the use of my machine since June 2009 because of a broken cylinder block. My machine was purchased in LA and used by a Parish. I bought it used from them.
Are you saying that the track motor has sh!t itself?
By rights that machine should have Hy- dash final drives. I am sure that the company above would have some of the available.
regards,
Shane
BTW, the 1250 pictured does indeed have Hy-Dash final drives.
if any of you know of an old 1220 SE parked in a bone yard or someones pasture somewhere because they couldn't get parts, I'd sure like to know about it. Maybe I could get what I need from them.
Whenever the hydraulic controls are engaged, the motor begins lugging down hard to the point of stalling. The engine is also running hot because of the hydraulic load. The engine is like new condition. The pump has been resealed..... for whatever that's worth.
I had a Customer Support Rep from Komatsu (only because he's a personal friend) drive here to put his eye on it, and he couldn't really offer anything except that the hydraulic pump was "not unloading" He also did not have a factory service manual for diagnostics.
The rollers again.
Shane, It does have a hy-dash gm30F. try finding one of those anymore (new or used) no parts available anywhere. the only thing wrong with mine is that the cylinder block cracked. all other internal parts are ok or reparable. but you cant make it work with a broke cylinder block.
You could try tillys.com.au
Never know your luck
Thanks Bigrus, They did have the complete final drives but not one parted out. A little expensive for the whole thing.
Hey Jason M
If you're wanting to sell that 1250 you should let me know where I can come look at it. Or you might try Todd Resser at www.hrparts.com. they are the only people i know of left in the U.S. that buy used Katos. Don't get your hopes up on price though.
Jason,
Which final drive does your 1250 have? Hy-dash made a bunch of them. From the looks of the age of your machine it may be the GM series. ie. GM30 Gm35 Gm36 etc. the one i need parts from is the GM30F the GM36F would fit my machine but i would need to replace the whole thing because the parts aren't interchangeable. You can find the number on the drive motor cover there is a plate and some of these actually have the model # cast into the cover plate.
Also if you will let me know what pumps it has on it, i may be able to help you with getting it fixed. Shop is in Conroe Texas. It should have a set of Kawasaki hydraulic pumps in tandem (one left and one right). Let me know the model number of those as well. Either way I'd consider looking at it either to fix or buy.
