I'm new to HE and don't know much about excavators. Bought a Kobelco 909A two years ago and have maybe 40hrs of scraping around with it. Not trying to make a living with it,............just playing around on the farm. For whatever reason, I felt the need to buy this Case and would like to run the pics past you guys who do know what you're looking at to see if I can get you opinions/tips/recommendations.
Late '80's Case 125B(which is actually a Case branded French Poclain)54,000# excavator. Still trying to learn about it, but I only just bought it last week and it may be a month before I get it moved. Won't probably move any dirt with it until next spring.
It does run and operate nice. It's got a six cylinder air-cooled turbo-diesel in it that's going to be different than anything else I've played with. All around condition is solid. It has got an old weld repair to the dipper at the pivot, but supposedly that repair was made sometime before the most recent owner took possession, and that was eight years ago. Hasn't given any trouble since.
Anyone familiar with the old Case/Poclains or the air-cooled Deutz motors?
