I just recently kind of “inherited” the trackhoe. It has no user manual
but, does have engine manuals etc. I would like some documentation
as far as what levers and buttons actually do what. Northern Tool
has no one still working there that knows anything about it and there
appears to be little evidence that they ever did and are no help. Is there anyone who may be familiar with this machine or can point me in some direction?

Hi Dennis, welcome.It would be great to have a pic of the valve lever layout but I don’t think you can post pics as a guest.
How many levers do you have? Have you tried moving them slowly to test their function?
Mini excavators are all pretty much the same and follow standard operating conventions.
What are the names of the manuals you have for it?
Some info: “18 HP mini excavator with 2100 RPM engine, backfill blade and 16in. bucket. 9 RPM platform swing speed and a backhoe volume of nearly three cubic feet. Digging arm swings 50 to the right and 45 to the left. 30 gradeability ensure performance in hard-to-reach areas.”
Pretty sure it’s the (older model) Yuchai YC15-6 with the Laidong engine.
Does it look anything like this?

Bob, you have hit it right on the nose. I was hoping I could find some sort of user manual for the controls and instruments. I have the manuals
on the engine. The control lever boots are all shot so I was hoping I could replace some of that stuff. I have figured out most of the operations, just thought it would be nice to find a manual. Also was looking for a source for parts.

You can contact Yuchai directly here, but first I think you should determine if it is a YC-13 or a YC-15.
Here is a Google search of Yuchai excavator parts dealers.
One of our members, “larryinalabama” has one of the YC-15's but haven't heard from him in awhile.
Good luck.
