03 Cat 304 CR Who Made It ?

[MTNXTREME800]

Curious who makes these machines, I had read somewhere they were made by Mitsubishi, it is Mitsubishi powered but no other Mitsubishi designation anywhere and if you google Mitsubishi excavators, nothing comes up, what's the mystery ?

All CAT MINI Ex up to the 308 size are Mitsu. You notice there are no Mitsu new machine dealers?

No they aren't. Several are rebadged Wacker Neuson. When some Cat minis were built in the UK until a few years ago, they took Mitsubishi engines as well.

I seem to remember Mitsu and Cat form a joint partnership call Shinn Caterpillar a bunch of years ago. I've heard it is all owned by Caterpillar now days. I think the engineering though is all Japanese. I hadn't heard of the Wacker Neuson machines. That's interesting.

If you want.. get the #'s off the name plate on the inj. pump & I'll tell ya what ENGINE it goes on..
Besides, its ALWAYS GOOD to have that information when trying to get parts..

The engine says Mitsubishi on it.
