metal particles in gear oil from final drives in takeuchi tl140

i changed the oil in my final drives on a 06 takeuchi tl140 with 700 hours. this was the second time i changed oil. old oil came out frothy...with air bubbles. and the old oil had lot of metal "glitter" in it. i installed new oil and ran for a bit and drained it out, and replaced with new oil. ran another few hours and replaced oil again. still see "glitter" in the drained oil.
should i be concerned? running 75w-90 oil. would thicker oil provide more protection?

What's your hoe doing?

Hi All, I saw a thread or two in other areas that are a showcase of the projects you have but I hadn't seen one in this section... I'm curious to know both what projects you've done, and what get's your BHL's use most.

I'll post a few pictures below and I'll have to update some as well. My biggest use is knocking over dead trees and dragging them back to a pile or two and digging holes in the pond to build the big dirt pile seen in one of the pictures or creek to fill in holes from removed...

White-GMC 94’ STC 330 N14

Yep I went and got the truck, just never made it home with it “yet” asking was $6500 got it for $5250, 313k miles and I will update more specs later with pictures.

Caterpillar 12e clutch removal

Hi.
I have the engine out of my old Cat 12e grader. I am going to scrap it for parts. Part it out.
A guy with an old d6 wants the D333 engine.
I don't think he probably needs the bellhousing and clutch. Surely an old d6 dozer would use a different clutch and bellhousing?

I have removed the bolts around the clutch assembly. It seems the clutch wont budge loose from the flywheel?
Is there something I don't know? What do I have to do to get the clutch off so I can get the flywheel and...

Komatsu D38E-1 Pops out of Reverse

The machine pops out of reverse but all the pressures are good. It doesn't matter which range it is in. Machine has a joystick control for direction, range and steer right or left. When in reverse it seems to me that the control has no detent left and easily pops out of gear. I checked the parts book which only shows a detent for the range selection. Basically turning the handle changes the ranges. There is nothing shown on the spools for direction. Looking at the diagram, it looks like only...

Cat 3126 rear main install tool

I'm going to have to put a new rear main seal in a cat 3126 sometime in the near future. When I get tired of it puking oil on the ground.

A guy local to me has this on Craigslist- is this the only tool I need, or do I need another adapter? Seller states that it does 3126- but I don't know.

I have a seal install tool for a 3208, I guess I should look and see what part # it is.

CAT D8H Hydraulic GPM question

Folks

I have a D8H serial number 46A18325. I am mounting a Werk Brau tile plow on the machine. I need to know if the machine is open or closed center and what the GPM is of the hydraulics to get the correct control valve for GPS grade control on the drainage plow. Any suggestions on where to look up? I am pretty sure these machines were built open center for factory? How do you tell? Also the machine is a scraper tractor and I believe it was factory. Any info is much appreciated.

Thanks

Jon

Safety Thoughts From My Accident

This is coming from the bottom of my heart, Sep. 11 2019 I got out of the equipment to check some things and I walked up to the top of the tracks to check things out and I slipped off landing on my left leg in a weird position literally shattering my left femur into 20 plus pieces all by myself. I’m over a mile from the truck and I’d left my phone in the cab thinking I wasn’t going to be gone but for a few seconds to check everything. I woke up some time later next to the equipment from...

2001 Jcb 214 series 3

I’m confused folks. One guy says my machine is a 2001 Jcb 214-4T the other one says it’s a 2001 Jcb 214 series 3. Says series 3 on the machine but when buddy punches serial number in, it comes up as 214-4T. Anyway my serial number is low 90,000’s and I’m looking for parts breakdowns where I can find part numbers. Why is it such a big problem and secret as to why these machines are hard to locate info when they are out of Europe? I am having a real hard time locating the right service manual...

Shuttle Transmission Case 680E

case 680 680e



I have a 680E that needs a transmission re-build.

It moves until it warms up, and then it stops. I believe the transmission fluid is bypassing the shuttle seals. long story short does anyone know where I can get a transmission re-build kit for it? or for that matter a re-built shuttle with the torque converter?
