Hello from a new plant owner

[Hovis]

Hi All. I am new to the plant seen and thought i should get connected with those in the know! thanks you for having me along.

I do have a question. can anyone recommend a good resource for finding old manuals for old machines? i am struggling to find info on my 2 new purchases. Items below incase anyone happens to have one in a pdf format?!

Kubota KX36-2 (2002)
Lifton Loadstar dumper (1999) this has the lombardini air cooled motor in it which i can find a manual for!

Any help much appreciated.

Hi and welcome.

Have a look on www.classicmachinery.net
There is a manual covering the KX36-2 - it's a start.

Kubota kx 36.2. Slow bucket service

Ok is this in order to eliminate the ram? This is to use another service on the same pump and see if the bucket ram speed changes once the hoses are changed over.

That’s the one!

How many hrs, any pictures.
You won't need a manual, they hardly ever breakdown. Any issues are easily fixed.
The only thing that let's them down is the levers are big not like normal excavators and the off set slew is a pain because it's on a button rather than a foot pedal

3000 hrs. Not sure when it was last serviced so just wanted to check oil requirements etc. glad to hear they’re reliable!

It looks tidy. Wonder why all the paint is missing of the front of bucket ram. Exactly the same as mine. Think it's an alfa

 

[diggerjones]

Not long after I bought it. 2011 it had 26hrs on it, its done 1000hrs now

I presume you mean the button changes the left lever from slew to offset, when pressed? ... can well see why that'd be a PITA

Yes press button then use slew lever. My case mini, the off settings slew is foot peddle so you can be off set slewing while slewing

No idea on the missing paint, hadnt even thought about it until you mentioned it! great photo! Ive been desperate to get working with mine but the ground is like a marsh at the moment!. Do you have the manual in a digital format or paper?
