I purchased this machine January 5th. After 2 Towing and Recovery companies. Number 3 came through. April 10th the baby was delivered. Left track was off when i purchased it.
THE GOOD Got it started, Does run, does move back and forth, bucket and boom go up and down as they should, got the track back on and pump up.
THE BAD Recoil springs on both sides shot, won't steer either direction. Undercarriage weak but runnable.
THE UGLY Head issues, will kill the engine when coolant is added. No oil in the crankcase though. I checked that.
Going to pull the engine. Figured to recondition the steering clutches and brakes.
All POSITIVE comments and suggestions encouraged and welcome.
I have a decent budget to restore to working order.
I payed less than scrap value for it, of course scrap is at a record high now but anyway,
Where is the serial number located at.
Also how do you post pictures on here.
