Hi,

My name is David and I live in Orlando, Florida. Without boring you with too much detail, I moved to the USA in Oct 2002 and run a car rental and property managament business with my wife. Starting up 2 businesses has been fairly time consuming! I have to confess to having found this forum while trying to source some Mitsibushi engine parts for my Kato excavator which is in need of some urgent attention. Anyway, at least I found this forum which will greatly help with my need for knowledge as I operate the machine. I only hope that I can contribute some worthwhile info in return or perhaps share the occassional funny misshap which I encounter while I fulfill a 15 year old dream.

Thanks for taking the time to read my intro and first posting.

David

Steve,

Thanks for the welcome and pointer. Trying to obtain a dealer contact in the US from Kato in Japan has been tough going even though I understand the engine to be pretty common. I will contact Jim.

Thanks again

David
