    Adding Bob-tach cylinder to T66

    We just purchased a couple year old Bobcat T66 track loader with manual quick connect on it. The cab has the Bob-tach buttons for running the hydraulic coupler so I have been searching for information on what it takes to retrofit this machine with the hydraulic coupler, but haven't found much...

    Multech Heavy Haul Trailer Parts

    Yep, the hydraulic lift cylinder. We have it at the hydraulic shop and they can manufacture the broken housing, but I’m searching for a more economical route vs reinventing the wheel. A salvage yard that might have a rebuildable cylinder, for example.

    Multech Heavy Haul Trailer Parts

    We just purchased an early 80's Multech LFF45C Tri/A Folding Neck Lowboy to haul the excavator from farm to farm and I'm trying to locate a source for parts for the trailer but I haven't found much of any information on the web. Specifically, one of the lift feet cylinders is bad and needs...

    SK230 Swivel Joint Leak

    I have a hydraulic leak that I believe is coming from the Swivel joint (p/n YN55V00053F1) on a Kobelco SK230 SRLC-3. I'm losing about 5gal/day, so I need to get it diagnosed and fixed, but I don't have any hoses leaking and it's nearly impossible to get down into the center where the swivel...

    Kobelco SK230 Error Code

    Excavator is throwing a P0087 alarm and my service manual doesn’t seem have that alarm on its list. Does anyone know what this alarm stands for?

    SK230 Aux Pressure Setting

    We installed a thumb on my 2014 SK230 SRLC-3 last weekend and I attempted to adjust the to make sure the thumb relief was lower than the bucket so that we wouldn't damage the thumb or cylinder. I have the service manual and have adjusted the settings for the hammer previously, so I understand...

    Hydraulic Thumb/Hammer (Plumbing Recommendations?)

    Thanks, this is very similar to the setup I had in mind. That looks like an Anchor Fluid Power 3-way valve on your setup? Do you happen to know what size that is? My two-way valves have a 22mm through hole but best I can tell they are SAE #20 fittings (1-1/4") which seems like overkill. The...

    Hydraulic Thumb/Hammer (Plumbing Recommendations?)

    Thanks, the machine has programming for nibbler and hammer modes, so I think I should be good on that front. The 3-way valve seemed more efficient to me, but I have seen so many with the aux block at the top and the additional shut off valve for the thumb that I thought I better ask, in case I...

    Hydraulic Thumb/Hammer (Plumbing Recommendations?)

    I have a Kobelco SK230SRLC-3 that has 1 set of auxiliary 2-way hydraulics plumbed to the stick. I have purchased a quick coupler, hydraulic hammer and a main pin hydraulic thumb for the machine, and setting it up to run everything is the winter project. My question relates to...

    Excavator H Link Repair

    Thanks for the replies, the shipper has apparently found it (10 days later), and its supposed to be delivered today. If it doesn't show up I'll give Finney a try.

    Excavator H Link Repair

    During transit to get repaired, the shipping company lost my H-Link and can't find it. I bought insurance and am working down that path with the shipper, but it's going to take time and I'd like to get the machine back up and running sooner rather than later. The machine is a Kobelco...
