Thanks for the videos Matias. I recall i have seen them before. I think i saw them on the Swedish sister sight Maskinisten. In the number 3 video it really seems slow in the slew. Did it come suddenly or over time?

Hi! Would be interesting to see a picture of your Hymac. Not everyday you see a wheeled Hymac. As far as i know the 610 is similar to the 580 model, but with other undercarriage, so the staffamotor should be the same. Dont know the part number, but i think Jeremy on this forum knows

Allways interesting to read abour your machine and the progress you make on here Jeremy. She locks really fine now :claphands: Interesting to see the solution regarding the transition from dipper arm to the bucket cylinder. Mine has not this short steel pipes there, it is just two long hoses instead...

Interresting to read that you had the same problem as me with the hydraulic pipe.
Locking forward to more pics on your projekt

When dismantling the houses the soldering broke lose, not the thread. The solution was to dismantle the hydraulic pipe and weld ...

That was very interesting to hear Jeremy Did Tony hear of any engine damage caused of this?
I think i will cover up the intake area to solve this problem on my machine

Compering pictures between your BT and my B i can see yours has more cover in front of the aria where the air filter is located, maybe this is why you don't get water in there Jeremy.

Yes i had filled it up to the correct level according to the manual :thumbup: But the rain made the level to high after a while. Today Diana had to work for me. She runs so smoothly and fine, Words can not describe how glad i am that the engine seems to be fine after the incident :bow: 20190917_1604...

Im thinking of maybe mount a dry filter from the later 580C :think: If you get it touch with Tony, maybe you can ask him if he heard of any Hymac with hydrolock problems. I know at least one in Sweden that had the same problem. It happened with his Hymac once after severe raining. But he was lucky, ...

Is this a comon problem on Hymac? I allways keep the engine cover closed, but water comes in anyway. Maybe Jeremy or another Hymac specialist know?
