Hello Gents,
Brandon here. I recently purchased a 1996 Hitachi EX200LC-2 machine to do some land clearing for a new home. My father in law owns a large construction company but uses mostly CAT's and Kobelco so he's not much help with my machine.
It currently has a manual thumb which I plan to add hydraulic controls and a cylinder to. It also needs some minor service work (pins bushings, fixing oil leaks, etc)
1. I am looking for an online parts search site and have been unsuccessful so far. Does one exist for Hitachi or Deere Excavators?
2. Which John Deere Model would compare to the 1996 EX200-2? During my reading on this forum i have found that sometimes Hitachi and Deere built the same excavators with different model numbers and the parts are interchangeable. Is that the case for this model as well?
3. Even if i have to search my own manuals to find the part numbers is there a good place online to price check/purchase directly.
Many Thanks! Great Forum.
