I've got a model 93 hoe for sale. I don't use it any more since I bought the excavator

Doesn't look the best, but everything works good. Swing cylinder is fine one outrigger leaks down.

Unfortunately parts are unavailable. you can recondition the actuator, but in the time and expense necessary you're better off just changing over to swing cylinders. or trying to find a used unit with a better swing barrel. good luck with that though, I've never seen one thats not whipped.

More than likely what you're going to find is the tip of the reverser input shaft has worn in the pilot bearing and whipped the splines, seal and input bearing.

Hope it's something else, but that's usually what kills those seals.

I definitely agree with Lavoy that the bronze are more aggressive, but if something happens that you get water or oil in your housings you can clean it out with the bronze disks. With the fibers you'll be tearing the finals off again. Example I got a 350 buried in a swamp with water up to the seat. ...

some of that drip irrigation hose works really well for immobile machines.

Just wrap it in three or four loops on top of the track and let it sit for a week or so. keeps it nice and wet.

Not as good as parking in a creek, but when they don't move....

yep, old retired guy. He had material stockpiled from his working days. Would usually do it for free if you brought beer and hung around and BS'd.


Hell of a good deal while it lasted.

That's what I was thinking. The gentleman that relined them when I had the finals apart is very good and did all of the clutches and brakes for my company. Sadly he's no longer with us or I'd ask what he used or if that is a possibility. Damn shame too, besides being a stand up guy he only charged t...

nope,

It does not lug the engine at all. Just acts like the brake bands aren't engaging

If it had oil on it why would it only act up when it was hot?

I've been having steering issues lately. I'll adjust the clutches and brake bands on a 350 b and after about an hour or two of running you have to really reef on the levers to stop the track to steer and eventually it doesn't matter what you do you cant steer. The clutches are releasing fine, just t...

That's the nice part about the bronze disks.... You can clean oil out of them.

Pulled the reverser and it turned out to be an easy fix. Oil leak was a hose that was cut and spraying down onto the block and the pressure issue was a burr on the clutch spool connection that was not allowing it free travel. Only bad part was I had to tear it back out to find out what the problems ...

Put the reverser and motor back in this weekend. Fired right up slipped it into forward and... nothing happened. Same with reverse. Looked down by the clutch and oil was hemorrhaging by the frame rail. It's not coming from the valve body or either of the cooling hoses. I have no idea where it is com...

Took it back apart, everything was fine. Makes me feel better anyway.
The look of the shaft was just do to the carburizing. It was smooth.

Preloads are set, we'll see how she runs.

Reverser is all back together. I have attached pictures of the input shaft after it was all welded up, re-machined, and carburized. The isolation plate was bored out and I welded in a slug then EDM'd the spline pattern in. The motor went in hard the last 1/2" so i'm hoping the pilot bearing lined up...

I've got a new weight retainer with new flex ring if you want it.

I upgraded my pump with the one piece design when I rebuilt it last year.
