<p style=”text-align: left;”>I got a whole box of parts with the machine whole bunch of seals and that filter was in there says fuel filter on it matched what I took off the settlement filter is just to the right just out of the picture at the base of the tank Dodge engine tag says Ty 395 I I will look for the Dimond tomorrow not sure if that’s on there or not</p>
LOL God only knows what this poor machines been through in the 100 hours on itDisregard the dangling spring… used it temporarly to pull throttle back. So my throttle lever is closest to the fuel filter in the pic. minus the cable…lol (broken and removed)
The parts diagram doesn’t show the linkage at the injection pump. Shows the cable but no spring at the end like the stop cable. I feel the cable was installed backwards at some point. Don’t think my neighbor or his mechanic ever had to deal with it. The metal end of cable witch would commonly insert into a bracket was up against the throttle handle where as the sheathed end should have been there inside its retainer. So baffling to me that it functioned fine before now. Definitely did not remove any brackets from the engine to when we removed it. Still… something must be missing.
Again… not a big deal. I can fabricate something but just curious what should have been there.
:scratch:
I don’t have the top part of this page in my download. Its the injection pump side that I am lacking info on. There doesn’t appear to be anything to hold the cable at all. Not even a return spring. Cant find any obvious location for missing brackets or spring location. Its not a big deal. I can make it work anyhow. I will snap a pic for you later. On the Circle G site, there is a parts section for this cable with a few brackets, but nothing looks obvious that I am missing.
Hey Bob,
The throttle cable broke… I ordered another one. There doesn’t seem to be any linkage at the throttle lever to hold the cable in place. Is this correct? I received the other side brake arm and it will work fine until the correct one shows in April. Got the clutches both freed up and working well. Made into the driveway…50’…. then the throttle cable broke… lmfao. I want to believe I am at the end of the little crap now!
Can I assume you are changing the transmission and final drive oils? Transmission uses about 3 gallons of 80w-90 GL-5 gear oil, and the final drives use about 3 quarts each side of 85w-140 or SAE 140 gear oil. Considering the age of your machine, I would drop the final drive covers, clean and inspect for wear metals. The oil originally shipped with these machines was not quantifiable, and imo, led to early bearing and shaft failures.
All the gear and final drives were empty when I got the machine. Part of my assembly task. So these fluids are fresh and correct. The machine only had 100 hrs on it when I got it. Now has 113hrs because I left the key on over night adding about 11hrs of no run time before I caught it….lol.
You did say I could use the iso46 for the shuttle clutch, but I felt I should go with something closer to the better recommendation you gave me.
Hey on a side note, I have a Case CX50B midi excavator. Its an 07. I run ISO46 in this as well. I’ve had this unit for little over 2 yrs now and love it. I had a Kubota U45 (grey market machine) before that and it about killed me with problems. I didn’t know about grey market when I bought it. Any who… The Kubota digs twice as fast and definitely more power than this case. This case has never broken down. Not once. It is just so freakin slow I want to cry. I had it in the case dealer shop and they adjusted the pressures up to where their supposed to be (they were low), then said the cycle speed was fine. I was doing water service connections side by side with the gas company installing their services last yr and they had a CX35 that was literally kicking my ass. Granted they only dig 18″ and the machine was much newer, but the thing was like a little ninja! Sadly we are used to it now but it has nearly doubled my dig times. I wish I could trade it in, but not going to happen financially rite now. It would cost me way to much to get set up the way this is. I have 4 buckets, modified hydraulic thumb to fit in 12″ trench, and Hydraulic breaker. Also, I am terrified to get rid of it because it is so reliable. It doesn’t have a single leak, doesn’t burn a drop of oil and will start below zero with little effort.
Lol… long winded….sorry
Is there any thing I can do to increase cycle speed?
Hey Bob, So I want to change the engine oil today. Do you have across reference to the oil filter and is 15w40 synthetic blend oil ok for this unit? I use this on all my diesels. I cleaned the ground wire to the body and added another one as well. This greatly improved the starters performance but it is still too weak. My battery is still putting out 1000 cca. I will send it out for repair.
As for the brake lever, Keno…no gots…Circle G emailed China and they said don’t make anymore…And northern tool has the opposite side in stock and the other arriving in April. So I have the Left one on its way in the mean time. May be able to make it work in the mean time. My broken one cant be welded. The metal is so porous it looks like Swiss cheese.
Also, I assume that the ISO46 is ok for the blade hydraulics as well? I used Shell Hydraulic oil rated for wet clutches and gears 30w for the shuttle clutch. Seems fine, running quiet and strong. Obviously, its in the shop off the ground and not run enough to get hot yet. I cant do much until I get the brake lever and free up the RT side steering clutch.
Ok…great! I did notice that the ground wire looked rusty. I will be working on the electrical next as the lights do not work…LOL~ Its going to stay in the shop for a bit until I get through all the little stuff. As I mentioned my neighbor gave this machine to me a few yrs. ago. I do a lot of stuff for them and he wanted me to have it in hope that it could help with my trench repairs. I haven’t been able to dedicate a lot of time on it. Business is slow this time of year and now I’m on a rampage to get this stuff done while I have time. The roll cage is buried in his barn upside down and barley visible with all the crap in there. He has since died about a year and a half ago and the kids haven’t done anything to improve the situation. So I feel like its time to make it happen now. :good:
Oh by the way…. the wonderful lady at Northern Tool also referred to you as a God!!! I said your name as a joke and she knew immediately who you were!!!
“We love Bob!!” Quote from her!!
Thanks so much Bob!!! :yahoo:
Seems that Northern tool is the place. They have the other brake lever in stock but the correct one coming in April.
As far as the starter goes… is it supposed to be able to crank the engine with out using the decompressor? Mine will not. In fact, the engine stops dead when you release the decompressor. Got to get a runnin start then pop it to start…lol!! Is this normal? I plan on sending out the starter to my rebuilders anyhow.
Got the left track steering and brake working now. All good. Think I am going to get this broken arm welded for now until the new one arrives.
