Is it ok to question the sanity of someone who fancies a fresh digger and sees this and thinks that looks good value. If you like spanner work you could buy a land rover, at least parts are easy sourced for them

So the story that the guy told me is a utility company ran about 30 of these the bottom half of the kingpin dropped out no one noticed and it snapped the top mount off the body it got parked then in there wisdom they decided to strip the whole thing as they ran the fleet and wanted parts on the shelf but it was literally stripped in the yard then just sat in boxes for 2 years then sold it to the guy I bought it off I have boxes of parts bolts washers but haven't got a clue where they go at the moment


Parts that are missing is dipper boom rams expect bucket one of the pump out track rams engine and loom everything else is there as I can see valve block pump etc all there

Your biggest problem will be premium parts prices even second hand as well as availability.

 

[Storrsy]

Care to share what you paid for it?
