    D171Q-R - # on rails. Anyone know which machine these rails fit ?

    Grey Market Hitachi

    I have 2 grey market 200s , one non grey 200 and have not noticed a difference in small parts at all. Maybe some of the larger components ? Found them all to be excellent machines.

    Grey Market Hitachi

    We had good success putting all new o rings in the main control valve of our ex 200-1. Would recommend it.

    What size excavator?

    I started out with a Hitachi ex 150-1. Not super fast but very reliable and good on fuel and never had a major problem with it in 10 years.
