Big old Komatsu

Just an old banger that’s been sitting for years, anyone know what it is 475?

 

[Sturgill]

I ran a 475 in the 80s. I don’t recall it looking like that, but that was 30+ years ago.

I didn't know there was a 475 in the eighties. I've worked on a 455 a few times though. The 455 had a Cummins 1710 engine. I think the 475 has a V12 140 or 170 engine in it. That machine in the photo looks like a 475 to me.

Yeah I have no idea what it is, hopefully one day I might be able to have a closer look at it.
