My home for (possibly) the next week
Jun 14^th, 2018 at 7:07pm

New to us, trash compactor. After we received it, it was parked for a couple of months. Tried to start it this week and it would not run more than 20 seconds (protection system). Couple of hours reading operating and service manuals, did some basic checks and finally found a corroded plug on the coolant level sensor. Now I have to go through the whole darn thing before releasing it to the public works dept. Did I mentioned that this is an hydraulic nightmare to work on ? LOL

Just to give you an idea of the size of this thing, the inner circle of the steel wheels is about 5.5 feet and overall height is 12.5 feet at the roof line. the filtration system on top is another foot. It weights a little over 34 tons (from the scale documents).

Sending oil samples for analysis first (hydraulics) since it would mean dumping 350 liters of oil. I'm taking out all of the hydraulic filters and cutting them out for inspection. Rest of fluids are getting changed as well as the diesel in the fuel tank.

Spence,

I have a John Deere tractor...had an issue with a hydraulic pipe and had to replace the hydraulic fluid.

I was an expensive exercise, expensive fluid and a lot of it.

The hydraulic fluid is shared with the entire transmission.

That machine will have much more than my JD, glad I'm not paying for it.

(by the way Spence the JD is up in the hills, I'm very familiar with the road up there) Grin
