    Cleaning Equipment Question

    I just got done cleaning both a Kobelco Excavator and a Cat D5G bulldozer. They look good, but I am working in really muddy conditions. This may be an extremely stupid question, but is there a coating or a spray that I can put on the machines so the mud will not stick (so easily) to the...

    D5G Quick question

    Ok, spoke to a friend that does heavy equipment repair. I explained that I have 6+ inches of compact dirt with water sitting on top of the dirt. He also stated the best way to clean was to drop the belly pan, but with that much dirt and the water, it would be a really bad day for the person...

    D5G Quick question

    I recently purchase a 2005 Caterpillar D5G. The pan under the engine is collecting rain water which ends up just sitting under the engine. I cannot see completely under the engine and have not been able to locate a drain hole. Is there a drain plug or hole in the pan under the engine that...

    Kobelco SK200 LC Mark IV one track is slow

    My machine was purchased out of auction and was screwed up when it was bought. The problem with the machine was that the pilot pump hydraulic lines were taken off then incorrectly put back to the wrong connections. Probably not much help to you, but that was my problem. When the hydraulic...

    Kobelco SK200LC Mark IV Hydraulic Regulator Adjustment

    I had the same problem with a Kobelco SK200. The engine ran fine, but the RPMs were too low and it would put a strain on the motor under a heavy load.

    Kobelco sk135 stepper motor

    Kind of a PIA process and you may have to do several times to get it correct. Good luck.

    Prices?

    It is not that the prices of these machines have gone up - it is due to inflation and your money being worth less today then two years ago (if you know what I mean).

    SK200 Mark IV YQU4681

    Getting ready to replace the pilot line accumulator (take off the old and put a brand new one on). The new one appears to be pre-charged with Nitrogen. Is there anything special I need to know or is it just a matter of unscrewing the old one and putting the new one on? Thanks for any help.

    Kobelco SK200 LC Mark IV

    I don't think so. I am mostly stationary digging a pond. Very heavy loads with full buckets of clay based dirt.

    Kobelco SK200 LC Mark IV

    loads, unloads, loads unloads. Hydraulics are not slow, they just surge (fast then slower, fast then slower). I think it may be the accumulator?

    Kobelco SK200 LC Mark IV

    Serial number: YQU4681 When I am digging, the hydraulic pump surges (high to low). Is there an adjustment that needs to be made to stop this? All hydraulic filters and fluid has been changed. Thanks for any help.

    Experience on buying a Machine at Auction

    Ecnorton - you are exactly right. Most mechanics (that are good) can fix machines that just broke down. When you buy something at auction and you have no idea of what is wrong - it takes a very knowledgeable mechanic to know where to start looking. Even good mechanics are hard to get to...

    Experience on buying a Machine at Auction
