Are there any problems with Komatsu heavy equipment?
Komatsu to their credit did put all the electronics diagnostics on board and with some time spent deciphering the service manual a decent mechanic with some experience with computers can figure it out. The hydraulics though are extremely complicated and trouble shooting a valve or pump problem has given even highly experienced mechanics fits.

How to replace a transmission pump on a Komatsu?
Before you jump in to replacing the pump, make certain that the suction strainer is not clogged. The pump can be replaced without removing the transmission from the truck…………but you will have to remove the engine in order to access the pump that way. Make sure the chrome spool valve for the inching control is retracting all the way in also.
What kind of engine does a Komatsu wheel loader use?
While it was common for the Komatsu engines to run so long they broke before wearing out, I’ve seen far too many Cummins put out more smoke from the breather than the stack. This is particularly true for the small bore “B”, “C” and “L/M” series Cummins used in excavators and wheel loaders.
What’s the problem with the transmission on a Komatsu?
Hi Gurus! I’m having trouble with a Komatsu transmission. Earlier it looses drive when engine runs approx. 1-2 minutes. Nowadays engine just revs and truck goes nowhere. I’ve checked transmission oil and it’s in max-line, even little bit over it. Oil is quite dark and I don’t know when it’s last time changed.

Why does oil not flow through a Komatsu strainer?
The part about the strainer being dirty, but not so dirty that it won’t let oil go through. That is not exactly saying the strainer is OK. That strainer has a very fine mesh and if you can see anything at all on the strainer, its capacity to flow volume has been reduced.
