    A Relative who worked at Cooper US said that the Chinese don't like to buy carbon black. Its one of the major bonding components in the rubber.

    Kobelco SK130LC wiring diagram

    No computer, I'm envious! I guess I would have realized that if I had actually looked at the link I sent you.... I hear ya on the cleaning. I'm happy that the PO was diligent with the greasing so I'm not complaining. I guess it was easier to store the grease cartridges in the cab. You might give...

    Where to find aftermarket plastic skylight for Kobelco 210?

    I have the same issue with a Kobelco 200. Since you can't really see through it I am fabricating one out of 1/16 sheet metal. I approached the local Community College auto body class to see If they might like to try it. Haven't gotten an answer yet.

    Kobelco roller frame repair

    I finally got the section of the roller frame that I will be replacing, cut out. It was a struggle. It turns out that multiple layers of rust is an excellent insulator and will not cut with a torch.. Im starting to make some progress now though.

    Looking at a Kobelco SK200LC Mark IV

    From my novice viewpoint it seems like a reasonably sound machine that is going to require some work. Have you priced new chain?

    Looking at a Kobelco SK200LC Mark IV

    Probably not, I think that was his last Heavy haul. PM sent. I had quotes that went as high as $10.00/loaded mile.

    Looking at a Kobelco SK200LC Mark IV

    With permits for both states It was just a tad under $4.00/loaded mile. The excavator had a final drive bearing out and even though the planetary was removed, the track wouldn't freewheel. So moving it was a little more of a challenge than a load and go. The money stayed in the family though. I...

    Kobelco roller frame repair

    After scraping off several inches of hardened Pine ash it turns out that the PO has patched it in several places and its cracking in the areas that weren't reinforced. The original steel is paper thin in places. It all needs to be removed and replaced. Flooding rains have made it difficult and...

    Kobelco roller frame repair

    Yikes, nearly $60/lb at Airgas. I may have to keep my experimentation to a minimum. Does it require storage in an oven?

    Kobelco roller frame repair

    Hmmm over 150 views and no comment. I guess I am the first to have this problem. I had hoped to get some pics to post but with all the rain it hasn't worked out yet. Both the sheet steel and the sole cut pretty easily with a hack saw and are fileable so that rules out tool steel (and the need...

    Looking at a Kobelco SK200LC Mark IV

    Rusty Im new to excavators, so I'm probably the least qualified member on the board to offer any advise. I purchased the same machine, (a 98) about two month ago and so far I like it. Its relatively easy to work on and seems to be pretty well engineered. The pic shows loose tracks and that...

    Kobelco roller frame repair

    New guy here I recently purchased a Kobelco XK200 LC for ranch work that was in a corrosive environment. The U frame section of the roller frame has some cracks starting around the openings for the upper rollers that need repair. It seems to be a low to medium carbon. Anybody have any insight...
