I think that NEED is a relative term... of COURSE you NEEDED it! That's gonna be an AWESOME machine! I'm looking for one myself! I look forward to seeing you use that beast!
-
Wow the cab has windows!!! The trac stayed on, no hoses blew off and it runs!!!! I’d say you did great!
-
That’s a great find Matt. I’ve been looking for one myself, but not quite that big. Thanks for sharing.

I use to work for Kobelco in Calhoun Ga where they built the excavators from 2003 to 2009. I set the swing motors and built the small valves ,control valves for them. The pressure release valve on the hydraulic tanks was used when you lowered the boom down to the ground for changing the hydraulic hoses out .. it helped to relieve some of the pressure off the lines
-
The relief on the hydraulic tank is so you don't take a bath when you change the filter or have to open it up for whatever reason. That's a damn fine machine my friend. Can't wait to see it on a project.

The exhaust manifolds on those Mitsubishi engines are known for cracking like that, other than that they're pretty bulletproof. Same engine was used in Mitsubishi medium trucks and you'll kill the rest of the truck before you kill the engine, just make sure to get yourself some metric tools before you try to work on it, all metric fasteners same as a Yanmar.
-
You can almost feel a machine purring with satisfaction at being useful again.
-
Congratulations on your new machine Matt , after you get it cleaned up and serviced , it will be nice to see you working it !! Stay safe and warm !!
-
Its going to look great all cleaned up. The better deal is never the one listed. The things I've gotten from simply saying, "so, what else you got for sale?"
-
A Thumb! Matt, exhaust manifolds usually crack from high exhaust temps. On a charge cooled engine, look at the charge pipes/clamps, cooler and intake manifold area for leaks. Newer engines use a ductile iron for the exhaust manifolds. Even using Ni rod, the casting will crack again right next to the repair. Best bet is new. Nice score!
-
Hi Matt, I’m impressed with the purchase. You will be surprised how much work you can do with this machine having the ground weight etc and the extra power. A thumb will be a good addition. I look forward to you working this machine to pay its keep. Bravo from Victoria Australia
-
Looks like a decent running machine, preetty quick, a good buy! Don't forget you have the pin grabber coupler, you can reverse the bucket and scoop forward like a shovel.
-
It is like watching one of those hoarder estate cleanups where you wonder how the hell a dude could wind up with so much wacky stuff after 40 years. Except you get to see it happen step by step on this channel.
-
Nice Matt, that is going to be a great asset. One recommendation, get that exhaust fixed before you use it too much, especially in winter. You don't want to suck any cold air in on shutdown and have it come across those nice hot valves. Looks like the hydraulics operate very smoothly. Makes life much easier. I can't believe you actually got that for the price. Would be nice to add a good thumb. Congrats.
-
Looks like you found yourself a "sweet" purchase, Matt !! I was impressed with what you managed to find WITHOUT the repairs needed !! Best wishes to you, Matt - hope you can make some money with that machine, Buddy !! You deserve it !!
-
That is a good deal! I was thinking you were going to say 20 to 25 or so, after you get her serviced all she needs is a thumb to complete it for doing even more work.
-
I’d say that the first upgrade after you do the necessary maintenance and repair should definitely be a thumb. I’ve always felt that excavators are a bit useless without one lol. Excellent find.
-
Matt is living the dream for sure! Thanks for all the great content. We are All looking forward to the new shop build.
-
Your videos never fail to amaze me! Between your skills and the capabilities of your machines truly fascinate me.
-
Well Matt, another awesome piece of equipment added to your arsenal! Look forward to you getting her serviced and shined up for work. I'm confident she'll pay some big dividends down the road with future work and home/shop projects!
