Kobelco SK17SR Excavator 500 hour service

Doing the 500 hour service on my little 1.7t Kobelco.

Thanks for your vid. For my hard-to-get-to and very tight filters and filter retaining nut like with the fuel filter, I have a BAHCO BE611 style strap wrench. It does not fully rely on the un-doing or doing-up action to grip so you you don't waste space taking up the tension.

Thanks! Yeah, I have a strap wrench also. You need a few different ones with all these machines and trucks lol! Cheers and thanks for watching

G you keep your stuff neat and clean , even your tools. My stuff looks 100 years old already and only have 800 hrs up. Good job mate

[@aheindustries]

Thanks mate, yeah I have a bit of OCD when it comes to my machines and trucks! Cheers for the comment :)

I have the same machine with 6500 hrs, been a great machine, coupla things, they do run hot in summer so I like to blow out the radiator with air every service, also if you load up the tracks too much it can bend the final drive housing, seen a couple of bent ones over the years.

[@aheindustries]

Brilliant machines! I wash engine compartment and radiator etc after nearly every job. I'm a bit OCD! Will keep an eye on the final drive housing. Cheers

Appreciate your video. I have a Kanga and wanting to purchase an excavator in 1.7 to 2T range. Hows your experience been whats been foid or bad. Would you go Kobelco again?

[@aheindustries]

100% would go Kobelco again. After operating a fair few 1.7t diggers i beleive the Kobelco is up there with the best!
