EX120-2 and Dr Ex Software

Hi,

I have been tinkering with a ex-120-2 for a year now. It was leaky and uncared for. I been fixing the leaks, but shortly after buying last year the hydraulics went out (it was real jerky and would stall when I would steer hard right before it all went out). Anyways I replaced the dp sensor, angle sensor, filters, center joint seals (leaky), and swing reduction seals (leaky). Still need to do oil cooler and stick cylinder. I check the solenoids on the top of the pump too, seem to be...

Where does old machinery go to die ?

Based in Melbourne, Australia.

Just wondering, where does machinery that's ready to be retired, go to. Cars go to car wreckers, but I've never heard of any such thing for machinery. Machines like excavators, bobcats, tracked dumpers, forklifts, industrial machines, etc.

I've got my own little shop with 3D cad, lathe, mill, cnc plasma, etc, so have some capabilities. I'm looking at making a purpose built machine, but rather than building from scratch would like to browse any such wrecking...

White-GMC 94’ STC 330 N14

Yep I went and got the truck, just never made it home with it “yet” asking was $6500 got it for $5250, 313k miles and I will update more specs later with pictures. Anywho about that “yet” part I’m sitting here in it about 300 miles from home off exit 200 in North Dakota after it decided after 175 miles to lose power. Started down to 55 mph and after all is said it crawled in at 5 mph, so I guess I get iron problems out on the road at midnight. Opened up water drain valve it spit some out...

Caterpillar 12e clutch removal

Hi.
I have the engine out of my old Cat 12e grader. I am going to scrap it for parts. Part it out.
A guy with an old d6 wants the D333 engine.
I don't think he probably needs the bellhousing and clutch. Surely an old d6 dozer would use a different clutch and bellhousing?

I have removed the bolts around the clutch assembly. It seems the clutch wont budge loose from the flywheel?
Is there something I don't know? What do I have to do to get the clutch off so I can get the flywheel and...

D350D 9RF

I am going to look at machine this weekend. Problem with trans oil pushing into engine oil. I have worked other 3306 powered equipment but all tracked. Any advice? Do these have a transmission pump driven off the flywheel like the D8K 77V tractors?

John deere 310G park brake problems

I have had a hell of a time with my 310G s/n to310GX934593 park brake everything works fine on the machine except when the machine is driven for a short distance and park brake is applied then a buzzing sound is heard and is coming from solenoid area below the steering wheel column. I replaced all three solenoid pressure switchs witch are outlined in red but still have buzzing and the buzzing seems to be coming from that area
if I disconnect the X27 solenoid connector the buzzing stops but...

What's your hoe doing?

Hi All, I saw a thread or two in other areas that are a showcase of the projects you have but I hadn't seen one in this section... I'm curious to know both what projects you've done, and what get's your BHL's use most.

I'll post a few pictures below and I'll have to update some as well. My biggest use is knocking over dead trees and dragging them back to a pile or two and digging holes in the pond to build the big dirt pile seen in one of the pictures or creek to fill in holes from removed...

2001 Jcb 214 series 3

I’m confused folks. One guy says my machine is a 2001 Jcb 214-4T the other one says it’s a 2001 Jcb 214 series 3. Says series 3 on the machine but when buddy punches serial number in, it comes up as 214-4T. Anyway my serial number is low 90,000’s and I’m looking for parts breakdowns where I can find part numbers. Why is it such a big problem and secret as to why these machines are hard to locate info when they are out of Europe? I am having a real hard time locating the right service manual...

Ford 555 coolant in oil

Ford 555 has a 3 cylinder diesel with a turbo that looks aftermarket.
Ive had it 6 months and it has been working great until yeasterday It wouldn’t turn over. The engine was hydro locked with fluid in the cylinders (mostly the rear one) when i removed the injectors it woud turn over and sprayed fluid out of the injector holes.

My first thought was i had water in the tank that was being injected into the cylinders but the volume of fluid In the cylinders seemed too great

I have a big leak that appears to be coming from the right side track just below the hydraulic hoses on the bottom of the drive motor. Is this repairable?

Cat 420eit Stabilizer wont go down

Hello all. Hoping for a bit of guidance here as im no expert

I have a Cat 420eit (SN: DAN00662) one of the stabilizer legs wont go down. It is currently up all the way. i have noticed some things that lead me to believe it is something to do with the valve in the valve bank at the rear of the machine.
Observations:
1. the lines from the valve bank to the non working cylinder get warm from just idling the tractor. the lines to the working stabilizer are cold. Pilot lines going to the...

6-71 Detroit stuck at full throttle

Started our old Wabco 777 after sitting for 6 years or more. I thought it would take some doing but it fired right up and went to warp speed. The throttle did nothing and neither did the shutoff. So I cut the fuel line. I don't know Detroits but my guess is there's something stuck in the fuel control in the picture below. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the underlined words I don't know what I did. View attachment 224544 ...​
