Excavator Final Drive Removal On A Hitachi 150 Excavator

Join the TekamoHD Network: https://www.tekamohd.com/join-the-tek...

Heavy duty mechanic Cam gets down and dirty underneath a Hitachi 150 excavator. The final drive was leaking so that’s gotta go. But before we can do that, there’s the delightful task of chipping off all the dirt and scunge to be able to even access the damn thing. After that we’ve got to get the lines disconnected and then we can prepare for the excavator final drive removal.
