Hi All, I saw a thread or two in other areas that are a showcase of the projects you have but I hadn't seen one in this section... I'm curious to know both what projects you've done, and what get's your BHL's use most.

another 580c project. .

new guy here. Just got a 580c that has been sitting for years (upwards of 10). Started up immediately after I hotwired and jumped it. Got key now, so I won't need to do that anymore. I proceeded to blow the return line to the hydraulic filter. Replaced that with a hose that cost me $250. There's another return line that has a pinhole. I'm thinking about cutting it and hose clamping a hose onto it as a temp repair, but i am unable to find what the return pressure is supposed to be. Anyone...

EX120-2 and Dr Ex Software

Hi,

I have been tinkering with a ex-120-2 for a year now. It was leaky and uncared for. I been fixing the leaks, but shortly after buying last year the hydraulics went out (it was real jerky and would stall when I would steer hard right before it all went out). Anyways I replaced the dp sensor, angle sensor, filters, center joint seals (leaky), and swing reduction seals (leaky). Still need to do oil cooler and stick cylinder. I check the solenoids on the top of the pump too, seem to be...

What do you guys think of placing a strong magnet on the inside of a planetary? To catch metal particles. Behind the cover. Or perhaps getting one of them very large magnets and just sticking it on the outside of the planetary cover?

Komatsu D38E-1 Pops out of Reverse

The machine pops out of reverse but all the pressures are good. It doesn't matter which range it is in. Machine has a joystick control for direction, range and steer right or left. When in reverse it seems to me that the control has no detent left and easily pops out of gear. I checked the parts book which only shows a detent for the range selection. Basically turning the handle changes the ranges. There is nothing shown on the spools for direction. Looking at the diagram, it looks like only...

I am going to change the fluid in the rear differential and planetary drives on my Case 580 Super L Backhoe.

Boom Cylinder Failure!!

Take a look at this boom cylinder on my friends Volvo excavator. Noticed it was starting to drift and was also making noise while raising.

Will the tank screen and filter catch all of this? View attachment 220357

Aftermarket Seals vs. OEM?

I have to reseal the boom and bucket cylinders on my CAT 225. I priced out all the parts online via a few different methods:

1) CAT Parts Store via my local CAT dealer. ("High" quality, I assume all made in the USA/West)
2) Online using Amazon & eBay only. ("Aftermarket" quality, some made in USA/West, some Asia)
3) Cheapest prices online via https://propelparts.us/ ("Lowest" quality, I assume all made in China)

I turned the machine off and checked all the tires, no flats. I started the machine and I hear the "air leak" again. It seems to be some where under the cab. I couldn't locate the problem. Any suggestions as to what I should look at ? Thanks in advance for the help.

Where to buy quality cyl seal kits online?

I have acquired a neglected Case 580E backhoe and am going thru and fixing leaks. For front loader cylinder, i purchased two cylinder seal kits:

My questions:
- does the use of name-brand seals make a difference ?

-where do you shop for quality seal kits?

EX60-2 Thumb Circuit

I'm planning to add a thumb to my EX60-2 and need a hydraulic circuit to run it. I'm thinking of using the unused offset boom spool. It'll require me to fab up a pedal and run a cable to the spool since it's not hydraulic. This seems to be the most fool proof way but it will be pedal actuated which isn't the worst. I'm used to that from another machine I run. I'd add a relief valve so I could tailor it to the bucket hydraulics.

New to me EX120-2

Just picked up an Ex120-2 and excited to get to work on it, so it can work on our new homestead

It has leaks and a few quirks, but I have to say, spending time on here reading over the posts gave me the confidence to make the purchase.
One item though popped up that the owner didn’t mention.

The Boom up is painfully slow. You pull back on the stick, and you can hear a valve or something staving for oil. If you push down on the boom and slightly pick the machine up, then the boom up...

TEREX TA64 Knuckle Boom Lift

I've been scouring the internet looking for a service/shop manual for this 1996 lift. All I can find is the parts and owner's manuals. Seems to be very limited results for this model.

Does anyone know if this lift has a direct parallel to another brand/name like SIMON or GENIE that I could look into instead? I'm mainly interested in the wiring schematics, but if I could get my hands on a full manual that would be nice too.

Assuming case 430's, 40's etc. would have the same system. Operator manual says to back of the air screw and use the plunger to fill the filter but doesn't show it on the drawing. Thx.

Kobelco SK235SRLC

The machine does not throtle up as soon as you start to move the joystick for a function. If you wait a few seconds it will throtle up and work fine. if you try to lift or dig it will stahl. Preasures are in specs for the two main pumps . The Pilot pump is a little low about 650 psi, would that cause this? The govener motor was changed could that be it. Anybody have seen anything like this? Thank You, Mike 138.

EX60-2 Thumb Circuit

I'm planning to add a thumb to my EX60-2 and need a hydraulic circuit to run it. I'm thinking of using the unused offset boom spool. It'll require me to fab up a pedal and run a cable to the spool since it's not hydraulic. This seems to be the most fool proof way but it will be pedal actuated which isn't the worst. I'm used to that from another machine I run. I'd add a relief valve so I could tailor it to the bucket hydraulics.

My engine is a Cat 3208Turbo. Try as I might I can't find room for an engine mounted pump. Shaft drive off the front of the engine isn't going to work as the radiator is in the way, and includes coolers for transmission, and engine...

PTO hydraulics on a GMC Top Kick

New to me 143 H

Hi everyone!
I just bought an ex-county machine off of BigIron Auctions.
CAT0143HV1AL01163
Pretty low hours, around 4500. Called to see if oils needed changed up, they said it had been in shop last winter. Oils changed, drive chains changed, trans solenoids replaced, and some maintenance done in the front wheels.
So a couple questions.
Should the front wheel assist be used at all times? Is there a choice?
Any quirks I should know about on that machine?

Massey 300 stops moving

Hello. Just bought this crawler
Don't know much about this machine, just got it ( cheap) but at times under load the 2 speed powershift will just stop, I then run the shifter from forward to reverse then back then it seems to reluctantly move again
Fluid is full, hydraulics and everything else works fine, is this something typical and I'm missing something? Or is this an adjustment or something I need to make

Any help is appreciated

Hopefully I have posted this correctly, if not...

CAT 966C - My first ride in heavy machinery

Lawrence, a new member [71 year old ex Navy Electrical Engineer] now involved in research and development in small scale hydro energy technology solutions.

I picked up a 966C Loader yesterday and floated it to a small plot of land (10 hectares) in Western Queensland alongside the Condamine River. I need it to do some earthworks over the next 6 months and construct a small reservoir (about 5 ML capacity) at 10 M head, for an experimental pumped hydro system design (hardware + software) that...

TD-15 not moving forward or backward

View attachment 224754 View attachment 224754 Hello all, so we have an old TD-15 Dresser that we know virtually nothing about. Was running good until it stopped moving back and forth, has been sitting where it is since about january now. Still turns on at the first press of the button. Almost nobody in my area knows about this machine, been looking all over for anything that can help me ID the thing but so far have found nothing. Was told that the issue sounds like it could be...

Ed's 77 Terex 72-41

Starts and runs, but has a few issues before it's ready for work. The emergency brake valve next to the seat was leaking and wouldn't build pressure, I got a rebuilt one locally. The valve in front of it had a broken lever, also got a new one. I'm thinking it's a 4WD switch, not sure. I have a parts manual coming today, no service manual yet.

Also the transmission is leaking, there's a pretty good drip coming off the small round thing with hose towards center of the picture (underside...

Caterpillar 973 failure

greetings to all forum members. first of all apologize in advance because my language is not English, but have started to work google translator to understand and communicate with you.

I recently purchased a 973 serial cat 66g, at first glance the machine does not wear this because I never work with soil or rocks, but work in a warehouse storage of fertilizers.

the initial problem of this charger is that it did not move. only 1 meter and stopped. got a manual and started work....

Genie z34/22n tires

I have an older genie z34/22n with the solid tires. Can I replace the tires on it with air filled or foam filled tires for a genie z34/22. Both lifts have almost the same specs and every part number that I checked for the drive train is the same. I think the biggest item is that it would put it a little more off the ground and may make it a little wider. I use this lift outside only on the dirt. The solid tires make it very hard to move at times due to traction. The current tires are...

Hi Yall,
I am a new member but have a machine that is giving me some trouble. I have a 2006 Genie 1048 telehandler that is shutting down. I just bought this machine a little over a month ago from a private dealer who sells stuff on the side. Engine is a John Deere 4045. I will start it up first thing in the morning, and it will run for about 8-10 minutes fine, then will shut off like you turned the key off. After that it will only run a minute each time before shutting down. If you leave the...

CAT D8H Hydraulic GPM question

Folks

I have a D8H serial number 46A18325. I am mounting a Werk Brau tile plow on the machine. I need to know if the machine is open or closed center and what the GPM is of the hydraulics to get the correct control valve for GPS grade control on the drainage plow. Any suggestions on where to look up? I am pretty sure these machines were built open center for factory? How do you tell? Also the machine is a scraper tractor and I believe it was factory. Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks

Cat 3126 rear main install tool

I'm going to have to put a new rear main seal in a cat 3126 sometime in the near future. When I get tired of it puking oil on the ground.

A guy local to me has this on Craigslist- is this the only tool I need, or do I need another adapter? Seller states that it does 3126- but I don't know.

I have a seal install tool for a 3208, I guess I should look and see what part # it is.

Since purchasing this old machine a year ago, the bucket positioner has not worked & is on my bucket list of things to repair. The rod/clamp is missing that clamps onto the cylinder rod. The valve bracket has some damage to it, as does the guard. I would like to try to get the positioner working again if I can without spending too much on it.

I see there are three lines leading out of the valve but know nothing about how it works....

My D6D

This turned up this week. It is an upgrade from our D4D.

Has air cab that works, it is a PC engine. Has obviously done quite a bit of work. The blade linkages all need work as there is a fair bit of slop. Undercarriage is in quite good order. I would say the SALT links are 70%. Grousers 90%+ and the bottom roller the same. Rippers could do with a line bore but will suffice for the time being.

Strange thing is it has a modern S/N plate attached

Cat 312 final drive issue

1995 Cat 312 SN: 6BL00906

When I track forward or reverse the machine could push a mountain over. Plenty of speed etc... The problem is if I try to turn or try to move one track at a time, it basically falls on it's face. It doesn't stall the engine, it almost seems like fluid is bypassing.

Any thoughts on where I should start to look? Initially I thought maybe it could be the rotary manifold that needed to be resealed. A mechanic friend said if the seals where bad that it would also...

Engine rebuild update. I had a starting problem. Had to get injectors and high pressure pump rebuilt. I got the motor running tonite but I only have idle. When I turn the dial throttle stays the same rpms will not increase. I can watch the electronic actuator move the throttle arm. Also when I lower the saftey arm on left side of seat I have no operation of any hydraulics. Keep in mind I bought this machine not running so I may be missing something.

What brands of elevating scrapers used a Hancock design bowl?

I've been told the Terex S17E. That bowl sure looks similar to the Wabco. Maybe I'm wrong. But the stationary cutting edge, and the strike-off blade attached to the moving floor have similar designs. The large pipe across the top rear of the bowl, etc. Later designs have the laid up box fabrication of the bowl walls like the backside of the Cat six way blades.
Tying the lower front of the bowl walls together with a cutting edge would sure strengthen the walls at the lower front

So I made arrangements and the Operating Engineers Training Center had the lead grader instructor come down and put a bank on my flat track with a brand new Cat 140. He spent close to 8 hours over 2 days. I did this to make the track more suitable for mini stock cars, micro sprint cars and Legends cars. A bunch of the micro sprints came out a couple month's ago (when the track was flat) but there was a freak thunder shower overnight and it was too wet. Now their season is finished and a guy...

Links or resources to find equipment condition inspectors?

I could get in a rental car but it would sure be easier to just get an experienced eye on it and relay some info. I know these guys are out there and several auction houses have these reps.

However, I do have a little concern (maybe not warranted) about snaky people trying to sham a potential purchase. I could see the...

New Holland PowerStar T4.75 Hydraulic Leak

I've checked all the bolts that clamp the stack together and the bolts that clamp the port plate to the valve body and all are tight. I can't get any movement of the valve assembly by tugging on it, everything seems tight. I found a blow...

Cat 311c radio removal

So onto the next thing usually im very handy with this. But I don’t see any spots for tools to go into to pop the radio. The radio works the only reason I want to change it is that it is only an a.m. radio LOL. I thought they only did that in old things I didn’t think 2001 that was the only option.

If running at higher rpm also runs fine for about a minute. Then if I shut off and recrank runs fine for a minute...
