    Need help with Manitex outrigger cylinder seals.

    I do not have the cylinder out of the crane. It took about 4 hours to get it out and back in to get the numbers off of it that the service company wanted to look up the seal kit. The service company needs the numbers to get either kit that it takes for this type of cylinder. The crane is up...

    Need help with Manitex outrigger cylinder seals.

    Been on the phone with both and haven't had much help with either manitex or the service company. I took the cylinder out of the outrigger and found the numbers on the barrel end. 14950 822200-2 40-20018 The service company said that there is 2 possible kits for this type of boom truck. If...

    Need help with Manitex outrigger cylinder seals.

    I'm working on a Manitex 124SX. The nameplate is a SX 28124 SN#146260. Mounted on a Sterling truck. The machine is settling a bit while running it for a few hours as in the outriggers are creeping a bit. It has a 4 valve manifold that goes out to each outrigger cylinder and a block on...

    Grove Hydraulic Body

    If you have the hydraulic schematic for the machine's hydraulic system you might be able to replace that block with a newer one. Looks to be a inlet outlet section with a pressure relief, 2 pilot operated valve sections and a end cap. I used to have a Gresen hydraulic valve almost like yours...

    Grove Hydraulic Body

    How about a copper oring? Not oem but maybe something like a copper ring on a banjo fitting? I believe those monoblock hydraulic valves are cast iron and could be machined but it would change the dimensions of the stack and make hose connections a pain. Also thought maybe it could be sleeved...

    John Deere 550G Lt Shifting problems?

    I looked and it only has 2 pedals to my knowledge. There's the brake in the middle that's about a foot wide and the decelerator pedal right of it. Possibly could have been another pedal left of the brake but there's nothing there. Also maybe on some the brake is 2 part for left and right...

    John Deere 550G Lt Shifting problems?

    Hello all, I'm working on a John Deere 550GLT and it has shifting issues. The serial number is T0550GH761206. I do not have any manuals for this machine but i'm probably going to have to get some. It starts and runs fine at any throttle positon and the decelerator works good too. When i...

    Komatsu D68E-1 Brakes needing repair.

    I got the thing apart and replaced the band brake pads. The ones in it were worn down to about .125 or less. Some of the brass rivets fell out also being the pads were so thin. Ordered some new pads from a company called Blumaq and the pads look pretty good. Had to countersink the holes on...

    Komatsu D68E-1 Brakes needing repair.

    Forgot all about this thread. I am tearing into the machine now. He used it for about 100 hours on a pond job and one of the tracks won't steer now. I checked the pressures at the 4 ports on the back of the machine and got close to 285 psi on all of the 4. The brakes didn't really work...

    John Deere 550B transmission and hydraulic problem

    Update, drained all the fluid and pulled both pumps from the underside of the transmission. The one that runs the transmission was rebuilt and is working just fine but the other one that runs the hydraulics had the front seal pushed out when I pulled it. I decided to crack the pump open to...

    John Deere 550B transmission and hydraulic problem

    Hello all, I need some help with a John Deere 550B dozer. The owner states that a while ago the hydraulics stopped working and the transmission is overfull of fluid. For some reason all the hydraulic fluid gets pumped into the transmission after about 15 minutes of running it. Then he has to...

    Anyone have a 966B Parts book to look up some filter numbers?

    I have a parts book for a 966b I believe. Ill look in the morning. What filters are you looking for? The D333 I took out and replaced with the 3306 had two canister style filters on the side of the block. There's also a single canister style filter between the battery's and the engine I...

    D333 To 3306 conversion possible??

    Hello all again, I'm back to working on the 966B again. It doesn't have the get up and go as it used to so I'm looking at a rebuild. It has a lot of blowby and is sending oil out the exhaust so I think the oil control rings are shot. Could it possibly something with the valves too? The...

    Komatsu D68E-1 Brakes needing repair.

    Hello, My neighbor bought a D68E-1 dozer just recently. The brakes do not work on it and he's wanting them fixed before he puts it to use. Sometimes he's on sidehill's so brakes would be beneficial there. I have never torn into one of these and was wondering where to start and what to look...

    John Deere 250 weak/slow hydraulics

    I have a 1999 john deere 250 that is sometimes that way also. When I push the brake off switch sometimes it takes about 10 seconds for the brakes to release which isn't long but it seems like it. That might be unrelated or the pump might be weak on mine. As for the lift sometimes mine...

    Cat 966B 75A series

    I have the same slow problem with my 966b transmission also. When I start it and let it warm up for a while and then go to move it I start out in low and try to go forward. It doesn't really go at all. I then shift it to high and it will go a little bit but then I shift it back to low and it...

    D333 To 3306 conversion possible??

    Parts are available but they're scarce and expensive. The crankshaft was bad on the D333 and cost $2000 for a new one. The ones on ebay won't work, They screwed up listing them and the journals are different somehow. The 3306 is a really common engine and parts are readily available. The...

    D333 To 3306 conversion possible??

    I did but it has issues. It doesn't have quite the power that the owner seems to think it used to with the d333. Even though the hp is close to the same maybe the turbo gave it a snappier response. It moves good and has quite a bit of torque but I think it could dig better also. The owner...
