    Hitachi EX-120 manual

    Timmy, I'd greatly appreciate a copy of the manual for the Hitachi EX120. There's no -1 or -2 or anything other than EX120; I think it must have been one of the early ones. Thanks very much. My email: <[email protected]>

    Ex120 hitachi fuel?

    Alternatively, could I put an in-line filter between the tank and the sediment cup (and swap the banjo bolts as you advise)? I just need to find out what kind of filter I can install there. I'd prefer one that you can see inside and clean out, and thus monitor its condition.

    Ex120 hitachi fuel?

    I understand. I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable. But if that kind and amount of gunk is (or was) in the tank and it goes thru the sediment bowl, I assume it'll keep going (at least the stuff that looked like fiberglass insulation!) and end up wherever the screen is. Would it really be any...

    Hitachi EX120 "Grey Market Machine" Parts Help

    Thanks Bill. Unfortunately my rig is a non-dash model; that is, it pre-dates the -2. Worse, since everything is in Japanese, it pretty surely was never intended for the US market (p'haps that's true of all grey market machines) but also being old some of the identifying information is missing...

    Ex120 hitachi fuel?

    Update: I followed your advice and found a badly (totally) clogged screen inside the banjo bolt at the intake to the sediment cup/water separator, cleaned it thoroughly, then removed the banjo bolt at intake to fuel filter (no screen), and then the banjo bolt beneath the priming pump (no screen...

    Hitachi EX120 "Grey Market Machine" Parts Help

    I'm pretty new to this; I bought an older EX120 (pretty sure it's not a dash-anything) and all markings are in Japanese. I'm told it's grey-market but I can't trace its lineage. Now I'm starting to need parts; there are no Hitachi dealers in the US and John Deere locally is uninterested. Can you...

    John Deere - Hitachi

    I have a Hitachi EX120 that apparently is grey market since everything on it is written in Japanese. Can you tell me where in Canada you were able to get parts? Apparently there are no Hitachi dealers in the US.

    Hitachi EX-120 manual

    Tool-King: Thank you for your fast reply. Looks like Hammer49 who started this thread had a computer crash and couldn't respond to the kazillion requests for manuals. So I'm still in need, just more desperate now that my rig is down, I'm in the middle of several jobs on my property, and the...

    Ex120 hitachi fuel?

    That's extremely helpful as well as fast. I know the hand primer and have used it. Anything below it will be tough to reach but I'm heading out to the site now and will try to follow your roadmap. Will let you know. Thanks so much.

    Hitachi EX-120 manual

    I have an EX 120 (no "1" or "2" after it), according to the large black decal. But the tag on the right side bottom of the cab, which appears to be model and serial plate (I can't read Japanese), says: KX120-2m 1 EW-038567 Can anybody yell me what I have, and where to go for a manual? I have...

    Ex120 hitachi fuel?

    I have what appears to be an EX 120 (that is, no "1" or "2" after it). Similar fuel problem. After fuel cap was stolen and water got in, I drained the tank, mopped the floor, replaced with 25 gal clean fuel, it ran for 2-3 hours normally under medium load then quickly lost power, stalled a...

    Snow tires?

    I used to have a MF 711 4-wheel skidsteer (built around 1977). It was old, funky, hard to run, harder to operate, but it sure had good winter traction. I made up a set of 4 tire chains with double the cross-chains (one every two links instead of every four which is standard). Way better...

    Hitachi EX120 service manual? I've seen your name several places on this forum (I noticed the Ukraine location) and am wondering if you have, or can direct me to service and shop manuals for the EX 120? I tried to PM you, but don't know how yet. I'm a newbie.

    How Did You Find Us?

    Thanks for asking, and even more, thanks for this forum. I Googled "Hitachi Excavator EX 120" and a few other variations; scanned the numerous listings, found this on the second page (I think). I tend to move past the first few listed especially if they seem commercial. And user forums...

    Hitachi EX120 service manual? Hi. I'm new to this site so not sure I'm correct, but if a question is asked and there's nothing below it, does that mean there was no reply?
