One step forward, two steps back……
in my previous post I explained my solution to my high speed travel on my 2000 hitachi ex35u not working. Well, the high speed travel engages now but only on one side and it gets stuck in high speed until I shut the machine off.
the side that doesn’t go into high speed…… I’ve had the final drive on that side apart to fix something else on it that’s not related to this problem. When I had that side apart I noticed the “piston” that pushes on the swash plate to engage in high speed travel could not be pulled all the way out by hand. I’m pretty you could get it most of the way out but it would get hung up. It took 200 psi of air to pop the piston out, and when I assembled it I put the piston in the freezer to shrink it.
anyways, right now that piston is the only thing I can think that could be causing my issue. But it did move most of the way so I really don’t know.
anyone know why one side would get stuck in high speed and the other side not go into high speed? Everything looked excellent when I had it apart and the machine moves fine in low speed travel
