Digit backhoe

[corax]

Here is the link for Allmand http://www.allmand.com/support/order.asp

If you need to set up a account , it's easy . Mine is a 425 the digit is more like a 225
Also it wasn't ebay , it was craigslist . I have his email address , I was interested in his machine and he seemed know his stuff . I could pm it .

Thanks for the link, if you could PM the email to me I would appreciate it - can never get too much help on discontinued equipment

When my pump went I read the model number off the pump googled it. I think the pump company who had one was called, "Dalton". They got one out to me pronto. It was $150 around.

I still need to remember to check my stash of manuals for the "digit".

Thanks, I'll see what I can find from that company - I read this on the Feterl site:

Hydraulic Pressure
2500 PSI (176 kg/cm squared) standard
2500 PSI (127 kg/cm squared) backhoe circuit
2000 PSI (127 kg/cm squared) utility circuit (optional)

Hydraulic Pump
Standard Circuit: 5 GPM (22 LPM) @ 3600 RPM
Utility Option: Backhoe circuit 5 GPM (19 LPM) @ 3600 RPM
Tool circuit 9 GPM (34 LPM) @ 3600 RPM

So I guess at minimum I'm looking for a 9 gpm that can put out 2,500 psi pump at 3,600 rpm

Can anyone tell me the spec# of the engine that is supposed to be on a dig-it backhoe model 198t if you have one having problems with re-powering it i have a magnum 18 on it but don't know the spec# so i can get a motor for it

 

[corax]

depending on how much of the engine is left on the one I just bought (picking it up tomorrow), I could let you know what I find on my 148 (also a 18hp Kohler)

Any help would be great just want to get this thing running

 

[corax]

no hydraulic pump with it, but I did get the Op Manual + the engine manual -- I'll take pics of anything that can help and post it up

the newest toy - now I just have to get it running

 

[corax]

This is what was written on the front of the engine manual - there wasn't anything else on the inside, so take it with a grain of salt

the Op Manual is too big to just take a pic of each page - maybe I'll scan it and try to find someplace to host the file

Thanks for the info . After spending hours on the web and talking with kohler i ended up ordering a new motor its a ch20s spec# 64654 i'll see how it works .

Great little tractor!!

I recently purchased a used Dig-It TLB [tractor/loader/backhoe] model # 198T. Its serial # 95684. I don't know its age. I don't see a year of manufacture anywhere on the machine. I had to replace the hydraulic pump,[Vickers part # V10 1P1P 11C20.] $325 from Hydraulic supply. Ph.#-386-274-4617. Located Ormond Bch, Fl. The drive gear that is located INSIDE the motor shaft[mates with gear on pump] [$75.00 called spline kit.]is available from Mission Supply.Ph #- 812-385-5061. Talk to Larry. He knows a lot about the Dig-It machines.They also have a re-print of the owners/service manual.[$22.00] My Dig-It is up and working. For its small size, its a very strong machine. I'm in Bunnell, Fl. Ph-386-585-8905 Call with questions.

Not replacing anything. My pump is new. And the pins and bushings work so no need to spend money for nothing. I keep it well greased and I keep on digging with it. The kohler 18 horse twin cyl. on that puppy is a dream. My only issue with the digit is traction.

Keep it properly greased and you will not have any trouble. I grease mine(M2208) each morning and it has 850 hrs. no trouble wahatso ever. busterbrown

Dig-it TLB 198t

Hi all, I want to replace three of the backhoe pins with the zerk fittings and 1 bushing. They are worn so I would like them replaced. Where can I get them, their was a earlier posting from an engineer that they should be a common / stock Item
from a supply. Has anyone had any luck finding a supplier that is reasonable.
Thanks for the help.

dig it backhoe

Hello, I just bought my dig-it 148 towable. Used it right away and like it very much, but wouldn't mind a bigger bucket. Does anyone no were I could find one or what other buckets I can use that will fit? I have the 12" bucket on it right now and would like an 18" I know they make a 36" cemetery bucket for this. I am a caretaker for 2 cemeteries and this peice of equipment is really handy in tight spots.... Love it, just wish I had a bigger bucket...Thank you Jeff

I just purchased two Dig-It 158s from an auction house here in the Los Angeles area. I haven't run them yet...getting the fuel tanks cleaned. I need a bucket for one. Does anyone know of another make of bucket that could be adapted to work on these machines? I also read that there was a post hole digger attachment as well.
