    Advice on buying a Daewoo

    Mate, I really don't think that is worth any where near what they are asking for it look at katos as they go fairly cheap and are simple and very reliable. Also look for older cat, hitahi etc machine, they often go fairly cheap. For eg Cat 325L...

    Yeah, I am thinking that if you are wanting just parts out of a final drive your going to have a very hard time finding someone willing to do that. Not so sure where to look for that. If you call excavator world he is probably your best bet but even then I am not so sure. He usually doesn't...

    Komatsu PC300 no hydaulic pressure

    What position are the arms in?(tucked right in, or fully extended etc) On the side of the hydraulic tank there should be a sight glass, is anything showing in that? It is possible that air needs to be bled from the system but answer the above questions first. Shane
