Re: New owner of Hymac 580B
I want to modernize the worn controls to modern standard to make the machine easier to operate. 20180307_170240.jpg The first step will be to replace the strong springs in the valveblock to easier ones.

Re: New owner of Hymac 580B
Now I'm done with the restoration of the drive also on the other side. The chain sprocket was a little bit tricky to get in place. The splines was a little bit damaged at the edge so i had to grind the edge a little. 20180211_115547.jpg Then the new chain. The old one had stretched half a link over ...

Re: New owner of Hymac 580 B
Yes we have to get used to the snow over here
The machine seems to be in good shape. The owner before me did quite a lot of restoration work on it.
But i have not yet done any digging with it so the condition of the hydraulics is yet to be tested
