Good day Billy See attached may be what you are looking for, mail the results back to us, and we add some good advice. Kind regards Uffex
Thank-you very much …very helpful I bought the machine for 18k needs a track tensioner and 1 top rollers Brian
The swing motor/pump was low on the dipstick .I don’t see a place to fill …any ideas?
Good day Brian Looks as filling is by the spout for the stick. Kind regards Uffex
Thank-you very much
Hi Brian I have been informed that there is a plug 180 degrees from dip stick can be used to fill the tranny. Kind regards Uffex
Uffex Thanks for all this information,I really do appreciate it .I have another question for you.Where would you order parts for this machine .Is there a company in North America that has great service and prices?
Good day Brian Many parts can be sourced in the open market - relays - switch's and the like. Transmissions need to be identified often these can be sourced from sub suppliers or indeed machine dismantling yards. I do not know of an outfit in the USA that specialists in Hitachi parts. Engines are very similar to generator - marine spec. so these should not present any problem. On the HEF you have some very good John Deer tec. guys often they can give you a cross reference which may open another source for parts.Great if you could take a photo or two we do not have so much on filke. Kind regards Uffex
I found my parts for the under carriage …6 weeks to come in ..changing both track adjusters and all rollers . Blew a hose this morning on my blade . Do any any of you kind folk out there have a hose diagram 0n when this hose goes ?
I figured it out . Now I’m looking for a good part/service manual .I can’t find nothing on the net
Good day brian I have a contact with a dash 3 service manual it may cost a six pack as the barbecue seaon has started here. Kind regards Uffex
Where do I send the 6 pack
-3 ,is that 3rd generation ex75ur.Will info on a -3 work with the 2001 ex75ur
Hi Brian I cannot be sure what year's the EX75-3 UR relates to, I believe 1997 > 2001. As models get updates, they tend to be superficial & cosmetics, so there could be minor differences. PM me your Email if I should request a copy (It's digital to download) Kind regards Uffex
Ok done ,Thankyou very much what a great site this is Brian
