Hello,
Been looking at this fourm for a while as a guest, first time posting a thred. Have to thank the experts on here for their knowledge and sharing it with the community.
We have been looking for a mini ex for putting a bunch of irrigation and underground electric in with around our property, as well as just moving large stuff around.
Can't really find them in our price range. Started looking at larger machines in the same or cheaper price range.
So I came across a PC 200-6 "project" to hopefully get some of my other projects completed.
Seller acquired the machines with some property that they purchased. They really don't know what it is. Just want it gone. It doesn't have the serial number plate on it. Looks like it was pried off.
Seller is ok with providing a bill of sale with engine and hyd pump serial numbers.
Anyone know if the S/N are stamped anywhere else on this machine
I took a ride out to look at it last week. Machine has certainly seen a lot of action and a few bandaid repairs.
The stepper or servo that works the injection pump is missing. Instead there is a rope and pully system to the cab. You sit on the rope and shift your checks to throttle up and auto deceleration when you get up!
Also has a jumper wire going to the battery to unlock the swing brake.
Installed the 2 batteries I brought with me and the machine started right up. Engine ran smoothly with no odd noises, just a lot of exhaust noise since the tube from the turbo to the can is rotted.
Hydraulics are quiet, but they stall the engine when making quick movements. If feathering the controls it has enough power to boom up with the stick all the way out. Can also lift itself up.
So from my reading so far I think my problem is something causing the pumps to not de-stroke.
The EPC or the LS solenoids, related wiring, or related hydraulic circuits are probably where my problem is.
The switches in the fuse panel don't make the machine run any differently.
Can't get codes either. The lcd display is burned out. Sounds like that is a common problem with these machines.
So any advice? I plan on going back for a second look later this week. Anything specific to look for? Dipper and grapel are loose. Didn't bring a dial indicator to measure the play in the slewing ring.
Are there any LEDs on the pump or engine ecu to see if there alive?
Also, any idea on the year? No serial number
Not too afraid of the projuct. I work as a machinest now. Was a mechanic for years prior.
Won't need this machine until this summer, so I have time to tinker, make or find parts.
Thanks in advance!
