Thanks.

One is leaking to the outside, both are bypassing. (no lift power or down pressure) Curl cylinders are normal. Cylinders have been rebuilt 3 times that I know of.

Does anyone know of an exact drop in replacement for the lift cylinders on a B219 FEL? As I am crazy overloaded with things to do these days, a swap would be far more time efficient than a rebuild of the old ones. I don't have the tractor with me right now, but I will pull a cylinder next time...

With help from another forum, I found the drain. Block has been drained & flushed. It was surprisingly clean.

Thread documenting my mini ex project: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/hanix-mini-giant-excavator.52463/ Skip to post #98 for the switch related parts.

From everything I can tell, there are no switches available anymore that will fit correctly in the existing holes. Therefore I will pick new switches, and either make adapters to make new switches fit, (likely) or a new panel from scratch. (less likely) The whole idea was to find switches that...

Thanks guys, I will check them out.

Closest I've seen yet, but I wish they had published the actual hole size necessary, rather than the OAL dimensions of the switch.

Tried both of them; lots of switches, but none that fit those holes. Also tried Auto Zone, O'Riellys, Napa, Graingers, Surplus Center, Cycle Gear, Ace, HD, Lowes.:cry:

I need some Rocker Switches for the instrument cluster on my Mini Ex project. STSP, 15a or 20a, lighted or not. Need (4). I would like them to fit the existing holes in the panel, so I don't have to fabricate adapters & such. Problem is, I can't find anything to fit the existing holes. Depending...

Thanks I will check them out.

Thanks! I love your avatar!

The boom cylinder on my new-to- me excavator is leaking horribly, about one large drop per second with the boom in the air. Not sure I have the time or motivation the tackle it right now, Ideas?

Lower radiator hose has been pulled, but appears to be about halfway up the block. Not sure how much of the old coolant is left, but I'd like to flush some water through to remove any sediment from low spots. If all else fails, I might vaccum it out & then flush with water, then vacuum again. I...

I am trying to find out where the block coolant drain is located on a Mitsubishi K3B 3 cylinder diesel engine. Mine is so dirty and has such limited access, that I will probably never find it with out some direction. Wish I had some manuals for this thing. Thanks in advance. Bill
