That's nuts.
Dang! I was interested in buying one of those new all-Iseki Massey’s. Not anymore! I have noticed the Kubota loaders use a lot more steel in their designs so I’ll probably be going orange.
I can fix it if the won’t warranty it. But the fact that this is the weak link is sort of nuts. Both failed. Same place. The welds don’t look like they burned through.I am assuming it is broke on one side not both? I cannot say for sure but this had to be bad from new small crack to start with and took a while to work its way down and finally failed? It is fixable with proper grinding and i would put in plates on both sides for more support and do the same to the other side. Going to take some welding and repositioning, If i was close i could
help you fix it !
You get what you pay for.
I’m not too worried. I can fix it if needed but I’d use better steel. But MF would be wise to fix this before I feel the need to escalate it.Man, I'm sorry this happened. You seem a lot more calm about it than I would be. I am in the same camp with those that think MF will warranty it. Bad customer relations spreads like wild fire. It would be bad for business not to deal with this.
I guess he should have purchased [a Yanmar].Please, enlighten us and expand on this comment. Did OP buy a cheap product? Did he purchase an entry level machine? What about a Massey 1835M is inherently inferior to the other machines in this class?
I guess he should have purchased [your favored brand].
Interesting. Do you happen to have a diagram how this works? I always thought when the spool is centered it closes all other ports off so no way for the relief to work.Someone mentioned that the hydraulic relief valves are not used except when the lever is pulled. I haven’t seen the valves on this machine model but all the ones I have worked on in the last 55 years had circuit design with relief valves being in the circuit at all times. Kinda useless otherwise.
