Cat 205lc

[Smudger096]

Hi, my first excavator and post, so patience is appreciated, I just bought an old cat 205lc, it's a bit battered, but digs well, the r/h final drive is missing it's gears and cover, any advice on sourcing, repairing and model comparability will be gratefully received, if I can get it working, I will transport it to Spain to build an Mx track on my finca in Spain
Thanks
Smudger

Welcome, lovely machines, spent plenty of time on one of them, think they were made under license from Mitsubishi?

Yup, Eder. So was the 211, 206, 212. Should still be able to get the bits from Cat.

I got it cheap and I have contacts in haulage, I would pay a lot more in Spain as plant goes for more as a general rule
