This might be a question for a throwback old guy redneck excavator forum somewhere or it's possible the answer may be hidden on some microfilm in a hieroglyphics museum somewhere but here goes. I'm just a property owner with a bunch of projects and I have a new to me Takeuchi 2.6T late 80's TB25 mini ex and I love it. Using the backhoe on my tractor now is just sort of silly. Anyways it has a tired old (blowing oil out of every conceivable hole) Yanmar 3T84HLE-TBS. I'm looking for a rebuild kit with the sleeves, pistons etc. the whole shebang. Anyone know what's up with these engine numbers? I find kits for a 3T84HLE without the -TBS or my favorite "psyche out" 3T84HTLE-TBS for a TB025 excavator. They never seem to match the actual number off my engine/machine combo which is 3T84HLE-TBS for a TB25. Anyone on here know anything about these numbers or know what the differences are? Thanks
