Kobelco SK60 Hydraulic Excavator Shop Repair Manual (S/N LE11001 and Up)

Kobelco shop manual for the SK60, book code S5LE0005E. This is the early 1990s SK60, the machine before the Mark V, and it applies from serial number LE11001.

The SK60 is a 6 ton class excavator, small enough to move on a light truck and big enough to do real trenching. A lot of them are still working, usually with owners who fix them themselves, and this is the book for that.
