    Kubota Engine swap

    I have a Thomas T133 with a blown Kubota 1902b. Can that be swapped with a 2203? I see that some Thomas Skids had 2203's in them from factory and the blocks look identical. The only thing I don't know is if the plat from the flywheel of my 1902 with the double U-joint will bolt on to a 2203.

    311b monitor problem

    Also I checked the fuses but I couldn't find one that stood out as the one for that display. Any idea what fuse it should be attached to?

    311b monitor problem

    Is there a place to check the oil pressure? like a place to put a gauge on? I am worried that it is an issue now.

    311b monitor problem

    If I could be sure it was just the screen I would just keep the fuel topped up and keep running it no problem. TBH the machine is at the end of its life so while it would be nice to have the display working its not like its the end of the world.

    311b monitor problem

    None of that happens. My concern is that this is computer related. If I switch on the override switch on the back of the armrest the beeping and flashing stop. Not sure if that helps in any way. In the past I have had problem with the ECM sending incorrect information to a solenoid. I swear I...

    311b monitor problem

    No lights ever come on the display. None of the warnings or gauges. The lights above the display flash every 5-10secs with an associated beeping

    311b monitor problem

    I just got into my excavator to change the final drive oil and as things go something else is broke. I can start the excavator and everything works fine mechanically but the 4 red lights at the top of the monitor flash and there is an audible beeping sound. Any ideas what this might be?

    Excavator stalling under load

    Just a bit of an update for posterity. There is a Banjo bolt with screen in the line that goes from the filter to the transfer pump. Took it apart and there was miscellaneous gunk gumming things up. Cleaned it thoroughly and put it back together. The machine works good but I did have...

    Excavator stalling under load

    When you say pump, do you mean supply pump or injection pump. I haven't looked at it yet but I assume the machine would have both of these.

    Excavator stalling under load

    When you say 'in the line fitting' do you mean like I take the hose off and there is a screen when I look at the line? Can someone verify if this is the location please. I don't want to start messing with the fuel and then needing to prime the fuel again with no results.

    Excavator stalling under load

    So After trying a few simple 'fixes' where nothing was fixed, I think it is time to look deeper. How does one go about getting the codes?

    Excavator stalling under load

    Didn't notice any extra smoke. That doesn't mean there isn't any, I just didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

    Excavator stalling under load

    I have a Cat 311B and the last couple of times I was using it, loads that would normally do nothing to the machine are bogging the engine down to the point where a couple of times it actually stalled. The last time I was using it I was frigging around with it a bit and I thought I had cured the...

    Track Tensioner Cat 311B

    The idler is not out very far right now. I assure you are trying to find out if my chains are stretched, if so they are not. I have an operator who has been operating for 40+ years and he had a hard time getting the track back on because there was very little play. When I had the shot idlers...

    Track Tensioner Cat 311B

    I recently replaced my idlers and one recoil assembly on my machine. When I put the whole thing back together and went to tension the tracks back up I got to the point where it would ne accept any more grease but it still seems looser than it ought to be. When I put the thing back together I...

    Cat 311B Front Idlers

    Thanks, good information. I looked at the "forks" that hold the wheel to the tensioner, they seem to be grooved by the edge of the wheel a little bit but not too bad IMO. Is there anything I should look for to say that it is destroyed? Is it hard to remove the pieces that hold the idler wheel...

    Cat 311B Front Idlers

    My Cat 311B has had bad idlers since I bought it but until recently I didn't have the money to replace them but now I am ready to go and a few days ago one of the axles on the wheel broke clear and now it is time that I replace both of them. It still waddles along ok but I am about to have my...

    Thomas Skid with Kubota v1902b engine problems

    When this initially happened I didn't think anything major was wrong so I moved snow with is to get my trailer out so I could take it to my buddy's shop as well as some smaller tasks... all this with a con rod and assoc. parts in the oil pan! My buddy is a diesel mechanic and both of us were...
