Hi Guys I have my little ex60 giving a few issues was hoping to get some advice, firstly I have removed the bottom plate below the hydraulic tank and unfortunately I dont see a filter housing but I do see a rectangular plate with 4 bolts ,I haven't removed the plate as I am looking for the pilot filter .
I have had the machine for years and its never had the filters changed although it does very little work .
I had a drive issue that drained all the oil from the tank, I refilled with 32 oil not 46 and this is where things started to play up, first the drive became slow on the LH side
then it stopped, the slew motor also stopped, the knuckle boom hardly moves very slow, and the quick hitch stopped as well , the drive on the rh side works, the boom moves up and down blade moves up and down roll the bucket all ok .
the drive when you try and move it just clinks like you can hear the pistons move in and out but wont work, my thoughts are that the thin oil might have moved crap through the filter and blocked them hence I will try a filter replacement first, the motor loads up when I try and slew the machine so the pump is working .
my big question is would anyone be able to tell me where the pilot filter is as mentioned there is no easy screw on filter that I can see underneath my thoughts are its under the plate with the 4 little bolts but I just dont know and the machine is parked in a **** of a spot to work on , I have a manual on it but its for a bit later model that shows a screw type filter .
I look forward to hearing your responses or even a picture of the filter location would be fantastic regards all Tommy
