Recently the water pump went out on my M10.
they are NOT the same as the international truck or bulldozer. The shaft is 6” long and smaller diameter whereas the truck one is has about 2 1/2” long shaft.
Gates does not have one.
international truck shop can’t look it up.
International ag shop...
My hunt for parts and information has taken a year.
the 530 bucket cylinder is different from the M10A
M10A from center of pin to end of cylinder measures 29”
530 loader measures 34.5”
The hoses appear to be long enough on the forklift to work with the longer stroke cylinder.
I haven’t come...
Had o known these were failure prone I would have replaced it with a GM alt in the first place. As it is I believe I have the regulator wired incorrectly.
if anyone has a diagram of the internal wiring that’s better than the TM which does not include it that would be great. I do t really want...
I have an 83 M10a with the Prestolite alternator on it which o believe to be the same as the 900 series trucks.
I had a battery with two bad cells in it and lost the voltage regulator. It was overcharging. Chared parts in the regulator.
I replaced the batteries, fixed some connectivity issues...
My bucket is off of a WA380
Komatsu Buckets interchange from models 380, 400, 420, and 430.
The WA 350 would be a better fit for the M10/530 because the pins are smaller and the bucket could be bored larger but they were only made for a couple of years and are much harder to find.
The...
My new to me Komatsu bucket just showed up. I thing it’s going to do the trick with some smaller bushings and a line bore to make it the same as the M10.
Not bad at all for $1500 and shipping. I also got a battery door and a rear view mirror from a 530.
The previous owners welded in an...
I’ve saved several pictures of 530s. Ive found that show the linkage. I’ll post them. I’ll post attachment of the forks as well.
The standalone bucket is one that Gov Liq had sold and was advertised as being for the M10A. Obviously a modified quick attach bucket. Hopefully it gives you some...
Dump stop is on the Z bar.
Rollback stop is limited by the cylinder.
Pins are 3” diameter.
Arm bushings are 4” wide
ID Spacing between arms is 41”
Center to center would be 45”
Vertical spacing between pins is about 20”
The factory bucket was 106” wide as far as I have found. I don’t have...
I have been looking for a bucket for mine as well. So far I have found one in BC and one at FP Smith Equipment in California. Komatsu took over manufacturing in the early 90s overseas. The later WA380 has a 3.5 yard bucket with 3 1/4" pins vs the 3" pins on the Dresser. the arm spacing is 41...
