    Deere 160glc breaker problem

    Our 160g has auxilliary hydraulics with a thumb, we have rented a breaker (not done this before). The breaker works good for a couple hours, then slows down and is hard to start (as in you push the button several times to get it to fire). Makes me think it's getting hot, but there is no...

    Big Cam 3 Jake brake install

    When rebuilding the engine in my dump truck, I decided to add jake brakes. 855 cummins cpl 625. Jake brake is 401b. I downloaded the installation manual and followed it to the letter. I got the jakes from a salvage yard, they seem to know about it, all the parts needed were in the bag. I...

    Deere 160g codes

    My 160g, 2013 model, is throwing 2 codes intermittently, 111-18 and 1639-01. Owned the machine since last fall, this is the first codes I've seen. Does anyone know what they mean? I googled and found the first one relates to the fan, didn't find anything on the other.

    953c hydraulic pump

    Got a new to me 953c a few weeks ago, loader stopped, I put gauges on the 2 ports under the sight glass, got no pressure, needle doesn't even twich. Have I narrowed it down to a bad hydraulic pump, or is there any other possibility? Serial number is 2ZN00795.

    Ex100 dp sensor problem

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how to test a dp sensor to determine if it's good or bad? I know these are sometimes bad right out of the box. I have narrowed my search down a bit trying to figure out my ill running machine. Seems the only change I can make is with the dp sensor. I...

    Hitachi EX100-3 problem with relief valve

    I have an excavator that is giving me fits, maybe someone can help me out. I have rebuilt the main control valve and the electric solenoid valve block. Put it back in, and I seem to have flow, but my pressure won't come up. All actuators work with a light load, but it doesn't have any...

    Need wiring diagram for ex100-3

    Does anybody out there have a wiring diagram for a Hitachi ex100-3? I have a troubleshooting manual for an ex100-3, but for some reason the 3 pages for wiring are labeled ex60-3. I'm trying to do a little rewiring and a diagram would be real handy.

    Does it hurt anything to operate in limp mode?

    I'v got a Hitachi Ex100-3 with electrical problems, dp sensor, or maybe pump solenoid? Been intermittent and driving me nuts. I can turn the swash limiter around on the bottom of the pump, and unplug both pump solenoids, it works very well. It's not perfect, a little jerky, but very usable...

    Ex100 swash plate limiter-which way does it go?

    I know I've seen this somewhere, but can't find it. I have never touched it, but want to make sure the plate on the bottom of the pump head is in the right way. The way I understand it, one way is normal, then if pump control goes haywire, you remove 4 bolts and turn the plate 180*. That puts...

    I have a repair manual for my ex100-3, seems to all be the right info, except the wiring diagram at the back. It say ex60 right at the top of the page. Would anybody have a wiring diagram for the ex100-3?

    Hitachi dr zx won't communicate

    I've been having problems that seem to be electrical with my ex100-3. I bought one of the Chinese dr zx diagnostic tools, but I can't get it to work, always tells me there is a communication problem. I have read several threads about these things, some claim they are junk, others have had some...

    Hitachi ex100-3 computer problem

    I've been lurking here for a while, this is my first post. I bought my gray market Hitachi about a year and a half ago to clean up my farm and do some for hire work locally. My first excavator, so nothing to compare it to, but overall I am pleased with the machine and I'm getting a lot better...
