CASE CX25 to CX36: excavator

CX25 to CX36: owner reports

Sources: 3 forum discussions about the Case CX31B mini excavators; heavyequipmentforums.com and tractorbynet.com.
  • One weak track, boom swing and a hydraulic thumb. A 2008 CX31B with one track very weak since purchase (a reply said to check whether the two final drives share a part number), a newly bought CX31B with a boom swing problem, and an owner converting a mechanical thumb to hydraulic on the machine's nibbler-breaker lines, where a reply explained that circuit pressurises one port and dumps the other to tank. Threads read: 1, 2, 3.
Sources: 3 forum discussions about the Case CX36B mini excavators; heavyequipmentforums.com.
  • A slower track, a thumb that will not stay retracted and a squeal. A 2007 CX36B whose left track was slower than the right despite pressure readings at the drive motors, with another owner reporting the same year and model and fault, a new hydraulic thumb that would not stay retracted, where a reply suspected the circuit returned to tank, and a 2015 CX36B with a squeal after a hydraulic coupler was fitted. Threads read: 1, 2, 3.
