    Cylinder bench

    If you are using the spine of the machine to anchor parts and torque nuts and glands on and off it needs to be a tube or an imitation of one. Big square tubing or widely separated and braced channels. A lone I beam will twist into a spiral. I’ve considered various ways to use a fork lift...

    I have a Samsung 1994 SE 210 LC. I have changed the motor to a 1994 Cummins 12 valve. I have done everything I can do to the engine to make it work,

    My 210 definitely has a 5.9

    Farm use excavator

    Well hell, give up hydraulics entirely and go back to cable rigs. I’ve been doing same thing with a TLB for similar time. Getting an excavator with thumb showed ME I’d been doing things the hard way. I’m glad I learned the skills without thumb, but life’s too short not to use what’s available.

    Farm use excavator

    Here’s why I say “no matter what”. Farm use to me implies some fence, farm stead, and tree clean up. You “want” a hydraulic thumb for those jobs. Son and I cleaned 3/4 mile of buried woven wire sprinkled with dead stumps in eight hours. Hauled off five side dump loads. The posts had been...

    I have the 2000’ model of your Samsung. I think the book rates it’s 5.9 @ 145hp, so I’d agree on wrong governor. The “mode” dial went from intermittent flaky to dead and the manual throttle cable is frozen. Been running with baling wire. Think the seat needs to come out to get at the...

    Question for guys that use excavator to “shovel”

    After some cutting, grinding and fitting, we got the bucket tacked back together, laid it down, and started welding. We took a strip ~27” wide out of the bucket to maintain spacing of the cutting edge bolt holes. It will be 66” wide and hold about 1.5 yd. (A bit wider AND less volume than I...

    Dead LinkBelt 225 spin ace

    Have you tried the basics like confirming it’s primed, and cracking an injector line nut loose to confirm fuel flow while cranking?

    Question for guys that use excavator to “shovel”

    We already used one high tech method to figure bucket capacity. I call it WCAGAA. (Welding Chalk Assisted Graphical Area Analysis).

    Question for guys that use excavator to “shovel”

    I’m turning a loader bucket into a ditching bucket for my Samsung 210. For this job I expect to shovel more than hoe. The pin to bucket floor geometry is hurting my brain. My digging bucket has about a 30* angle between the pins and the bucket floor. I don't think this bucket would dump at...
