Does anyone know if any other tractor has the same lift valve assembly as the 135A-1 PN 709-62-31201? Thanks

It looks like this is the only model with that part number , usually this parts catalog will show all the Komatsu's with the same part

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately, they do not have the part. I've searched everywhere with no luck.
These 135’s are a rare animal.
Back in the 90’s I had one on demo and one on hire from Komatsu dealer.I drove one myself after the 9G broke down and I was pushing 24’s with it.
People said it was a D7 with D8L blade size and just show.
Well,it proved us all wrong.Both were superb travtors punching above their weight.
One was purchased by a contractor I still hire to this day.It was a great machine and clocked up around 8000 trouble free hours.Then it have problems with valve blocks and brakes etc.Parts were horrific in their cost and often 6-9 months from the dealer.
Eventually, the tractor was sold off cheap.
This is often the problem with running older Komatsu machines

Are you prepared to import the parts ? Komatsu has a large market share in NZ because of the service . If you can figure out how to pay , sort transport and border issues you will get the part if it exists . Then there is the second hand market both in NZ and Australia . This company has US branches , not sure if they wreck machines in the US but do here .
