TLC on an old Kubota KH-007
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 11:03 pm
Hello all;
I treated myself to an old mini/micro excavator, but before I use it to dig the garden I am treating it to some TLC.
The little twin cylinder engine bobs about quite a bit as the engine mounts have failed, so have replacement similar sized units arriving soon.
New tracks to fit, years of muck to remove and the bucket ram to re seal!
I have all but given up trying to get a user or service manual for the machine, they all seem to be in the USA without postage to the UK and web sites do not seem to have them listed even to pay for as when I go to a link the '404' message appears.
So if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.
I have one question I need to ask now and that is of the hydraulic ram end nut.
As above is 27mm metric and I can not shift it, so thought I would ask if it removed in an anti clockwise direction, i.e. is it a standard right hand thread and anyone know how tight they could be?
My small impact is not shifting it so may need to take it elsewhere.
Next question will be another day on the track tensioners.
Cheers
Adrian
