- Hi guys I looked in on my Takeushi TB 135 excavator today. It's being worked on at CCS equipment company. There a pressure value control problem. Franklin county off Capital Blvd. NOT HWY 98!!! SORRY.
Lol tohatsu gets a lotta credit for this takeuchi 😎
What did it end up costing?
Never buy these used. For the price you paid you could rent them a hundred times with no worries. Not to mention CCS is way to expensive. I could get these parts for much cheaper and fix it for a whole lot less.
I so agree
I hate buying someone else's problem. But it happens. Been there done that.
Your so right about other peoples problem. Me too been there done that.
The last mechanic was a fly by night hack, sorry Tom.
Shop helper and he knew I was doing You Tube, and want it get in the video. Funny.
takeuchi make a great excavator .we have a rental company and rent all bobcat and takeuchi machines.they have been bullet proof for us over 20 years.
Hi Tom, Review my posts and a reply stream from a month ago when you posted the video when you bought the machine. The hydraulic system is contaminated with metal particles from the failed hydraulic pump that was replaced by the owner you bought the machine from.Various manufacturers have different names for the procedure but the hydraulic system needs to be disassembled and cleaned. Completely disassembled and cleaned as in COMPLETELY disassembled and cleaned. There are metal particles from the failed pump circulating through the system and until those are cleaned from the system you will continue to have sticking control valves as well as cylinders that will start leaking,hydraulic motor failures, and worst case is the new pump gets trashed.There is a trick that helps but will NOT solve all issues: drop a cow intestinal tract magnet into the hydraulic tank: it will help collect ferrous metal particles but will not completely remove all of them from the system.Magnet can be found at most any feed store or amazon.About 1" round and 2 to 3" long.
Were you able to find the dealer who did the last repairs to figure out exactly what was previously done?
It was a mobile equipment repair guy, out of Apex NC. No company name. He mess the the machine up.
MR. FIX-ALL INC. sorry to here but hope you get it all sorted out quickly! Keep up the good videos!
@@tnoel374 Ouch. Please review my post from about 5:50am my time. It's helpful my friend.
I really am surprised you are having so much trouble with that machine... My mate runs a fleet of them and ok they have issues now and again but generally good mind you you don't know what has gone before with it...That relief valve you had don't look 400 bucks worth.... Just saying.
The value was not a stock item, being sent from Japan older machine. Parts are Japan only WOW!
Sitting broke down and idle ain't no good for you brother. Got to spend money to make money. But once it up and running again it will pay for itself eventually.
Rich your comment is my thinking exactly.
hey what was the verdict after the repairs? Do you still like the machine? Should I buy one? How much did all the repairs cost you?
3000 repair costs. I still like the machine even after the repair cost. Still runs well today.
Glad to see they are steppin up and gettin your machine going..
Hope so James, it's in the works.
Wax on wax off Sensei!
When done, degrease, use some rubbing compound and wax the excavator and it will look like new.
What you fix today will probably never break again.
I agree it a work in progress. But one day this machine will be well taken care of my me.
Never fun visiting the garage these days. Shit is so expensive anymore. Hope it holds up for a while once you get it fixed Tom!
Well.....once it's fixed properly hopefully you get a lot of hours out of the machine before the next repair.
Yes Tim I'm hoping the same thing.
Maybe it would be prudent to get it fixed as cheaply as possible and then unload it ASAP. If it were a car you would conclude it is going to be an endless money pit and dump it. But it is twice as complex as a car, so I would be twice as scared.
Very good comment.
Tom hope you get it straightened out soon. I know equipment trouble will give you a heck of a headache.
So true my friend, it's only money, but I would love save some of it.
A lot of money has been put in that over this year. Boy oh boy
Yes Boy oh boy.
Tom, if you give me the machine VIN and a part number for the valves I’m happy to find out what they cost direct from Takeuchi here in Japan. Just to make sure you’re not being skunked on margins.
My dad always talks about "x" amount. In this case it's a sort of secret amount. That entire valve set up looks complicated. I imagine it will take them x amount of time to sort that out. Think of all the projects you can tackle with that machine.
Brain I know one day this machine will be working fine. Then it's time for it to make me money.
hope its not too much money as I am sure you do too!
Yes Wayman it may get expensive.
Man that is an expensive valve! Hope they get it figured out and get you up and running again. I know that you are waiting to put it back to work. If the other drive motor is good that's a plus.
I think the other drive motor is in great shape. The mechanic that worked on it before was a moron.
We told ya. Remember? Anyways, oh yeah, sold as is. Buyer always beware. The good thing you don't mention is that big tax deduction you get on your IRS income taxes for business repairs. Be safe my friend. I'd buy your equipment in a heartbeat. Eaglegards...
Thanks my friend yes the tax break is the real reason I bought this machine. Thanks if I ever sell any of my equipment I will let you know.
