Well blow me, these Komatsu scrapers I once had a job put my way from the service manager of Komatsu U.K. to go to Blackwells yard and repair/sort a transmission fault with one , it seemed that Blackwells bought these units from a back door non Komatsu U.K. supplier and cried for a Warranty repair, Komatsu U.K. did not feel to happy about this and I was sent to see what was the problem??,
Blackwells fitters had totaly stripped out the trans, so all I could do was start to build it all together, I found a good chunk of O.ring jammed in the pressure control valve, this was all it was stopping the gearbox working, I refitted the unit and never heard anything else about them, the service managers name was Gordon Kyte Ex Dick Hampton Steamer.
