I have a Furukawa fl120-2 loader here. It's an early 90s machine. Went to change the oil in the rear differential and there was a lot of filings coming out along with these 3 pieces of steel. Do they look like the outer shell of a bearing ? Doesn't seem.to be a tooth? Machine was driving fine before I decided to change oil. I think it's a dana axle in it but the badges are missing of the axle but there are numbers stamped on the side. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Just to add further to this. I decided to fill the axle with diesel to try wash it out more. Anyway as I drove around I noticed diesel coming out the front where the drive shaft enters when the pressure comes on. I did notice a bit of oil coming out of there previously and I used to top up every now and then. But the diesel flows well even if I push the shaft up with my hand. I have a video but it would let me load it so instead I have added another picture of where the diesel is coming out.
Looks like the read axle is coming out sooner rather than later....... Somehwere there will be a procedure for setting the pinion bearings then one to set the backlash between the pinion & crown wheel.
I am a bit worried now where I will get parts when I go stripping. Who does parts for Furukawa loaders now? Would parts for an axle be hard got ?
Sorry can't help you with that. If those pieces are from a bearing you might be lucky and pick them up from a generic bearing supplier somewhere. Does the axle housing carry any references that might indicate who manufactured it.? I would imagine it wasn't Furukawa. Hopefully someone will pitch in with info/ideas/suggestions.
T this is the only code stamped on it. It's stamped on both half shafts
It means nothing to me or Uncle Google. Hopefully it means something to someone else.
Good luck I worked on a crawler loader and could not find anything
It seems to have a very similar looking axle to a hitachi lx70 and a komatsu wa120-1. Would all these Japanese companies have shared the same type axle.or bought in the axles from.some company
Interesting loader. I’ve never noticed or seen a Furukawa before in my corner of the world. Welcome to the HEF, loader22. I see you are posting from Ireland. Tell us a good Irish tale from the Emerald Isle.
A google search shows a couple of digital parts catalogs online for purchase. I personally would buy one, then cross reference the bearing and seal numbers. As above I would be dong the repair sooner then later as gear sets may be hard to find if damaged.
Furukawa made very good loaders. The FL120 were reasonably common in their Loader range. Hitachi were supporting some spares,but not sure now.There was a relationship with the 2 companies.Check out the Furukawa FD dozers & Hitachi DX45 dozers. Try TAS SPA in Italy. Check eBay for manuals.
There's quite a few FURUKAWA Loader manuals on USA eBay now. Seller is WEACO MANUALS. Lots of other manuals too.
