Thanks for your answers. I will remove the belts today and take them to the lokal belt stockist

I have just received a slightly unusual wheel loader. It is Japanese and is called the Kobelco LK400. I have not seen this model before. Most things seem to work on it. But the drive belts in the engine slip and need to be replaced. Anyone know where I can buy these belts? 384352_28ZF36HCRPJ40171407...

Thanks Jeremy. Good to know that other models fit to :) I took the starter from the machine yesterday and opened the rear cover so the carbons were visible. There were four coals in total. I picked them out one by one and cleaned. Found that one carbon almust was stuck in its race, so I had to sand ...

Nice work! have heard of a couple of Hymac that had the engine completely destroyed coused of water in the airfilter. I was very close my self, but luckily the engine survived.
So allways good to keep it in good shape

Helo Hymac friends. The starter on my Hymac seems to be worn out. It only crank the engine to start every ten time or so. Most times it only cranks half a rotation or so despite new battery. Anyone know the serial number to a new one? Is there other models than the CAV starter that fits? Im just in ...

A brand new shaft arrived to me two weeks ago. This week i mounted it all together again. When i compered the new and the old shaft i could see that the old was pretty worn down in the splines, making the drivewhel to wiggle. The new shaft made it nice and tight. Now she tracks again! 20210720_13511...

Okej. I had the shaft dismounted today and it came in two pices . But thanks to Jeremy i might get hold on a new one

Are you sure they are the same as 580bt?
I know that the gearbox is different.
But if the shaft is the same that is good news. Makes it easier to find one

Suddenly the right track stoped tracking. I removed the cover over the chaindrive and found that the drivesprocket rotates normaly when the hydrauldrive is activated. But the big drivewheel in the trackpads are standing still. And with tha chain removed i can rotate the shaft by hand. That leeds me ...

Would be wery interesting to see pictures of that restoration, expecially the restoration of the tracks
