    CAT 303.5 hydraulic leak

    Hi everybody, I’ve sprung a leak in connection you see pictured. I gave it 1/8 turn to tighten which worked for a day but it’s come back. I removed the fitting, cleaned it up, and the connections look fine but it just seems to not be seating. I assume I need to replace the entire hose line and...

    Case 1835b Occasionally no drive

    I recently purchased a Case 1835b with Perkins Diesel engine. I did nearly a full fluids service of it (all filters and fluids, except the chain compartment oil). I've been running it for maybe 10hrs now and noticed occasionally it will loose all drive capability. I think perhaps it's due to...

    Hello. I have a JCB 190t tracked skid loader and have an oil leak I believe at the front of the hydraulic Reservoir. I have removed the mounting bolts underneath the skid loader and in the wheel well so to speak by the rear of the track. It seems to be loose but yet I cannot get it to come out...

    Hydraulic Leak Mitsubishi MM30SR

    My machine (E3G00727) has a hydraulic leak on one of the small hoses that heads back to the tank and connects into a large pipe that goes between the bottom of the cooler and the top of the tank (photo).

    Cat D5C Series iii (5HS000476) hydraulic cutoff valve

    Hey everyone. I am trying to determine if my crawler has a hydraulic cutoff to the cooler. Both radiator and cooler have leakage and I am sending it out for repair. All that I have left to do is disconnect the hydraulic lines to the cooler and remove the units. If there is no cutoff, any...

    Komatsu PC200 Lc-8 hydraulic hoses keep bursting

    Working with my pc200 with 10k hours and multiple different hydraulic hoses bursting one after another. Not sure if this is normal due to high time or a problem with the hydraulic system.

    Underwhelmed by dealer's repair work on Vermeer FT100

    tl;dr: What do you do when your service provider disappoints; make them fix it, or give up and go somewhere else? ... I bought a 2015 Vermeer FT100 with 620 hours in a private sale last May. The FT100 is a rebranded Terex PT110 Forestry (my machine) / ASV RT120 Forestry (current machines) with...

    John Deere 755B crawler/loader hydraulic leak

    We have a John Deere 755B crawler/loader. We have developed an hydraulic oil leak under it. We have further discovered that the hydraulic oil is coming out of the dip stick tube on the splitter gear box. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

    John Deere 35-C mini excavator

    Hydraulic leak out of the belly pan access. It looked like a hose on the swing, so I replaced it. It wasn't the problem. The cab doesn't tilt like the new ones and it took a full day just to get access to the hose, fitting etc. Even worse it's on the job site, I need some suggestions from you...
