It's a shame that alot of these machines are just rotting away.
My friend brought a 125 excavator to restore but the barn he was storing it in caught alight and was damaged beyond repair....shame

I am looking for the manuals for the model 60 (1974 year)-

Also input on having to bleed the entire hydraulic system. The current owner says this needs to be done to get the right track to work.......? Does this sound right? Asking price is $6500.00 usd.

Is this a good price?

You may be the perfect person to ask this question!

My friend has a Case/Poclain excavator. He says he knows it is a 1978 Case but no more than that. It has no markings on it. It looks exactly like a Case 220B, with the four access hatches on the top (plus the rear one), but it has a Deutz six cylinder with a turbocharger (seized!) instead of the V-10 Deutz that I see on all of the 220s that I have looked up on the internet. Is this the original configuration of the 220, before the V-10? Or is this something else?

Thanks for any info anyone can provide!

I was replying to DiggerDan, by the way, since he was a factory Poclain rep when this thing was built, but if anybody else can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, does anyone know of a good source for a new/rebuilt turbo?

Thanks all!

Maybe 170?

I wondered about that but all of the pictures that I have seen on the internet of 170s show two access hatches on top instead of four like the 220 has. Maybe an older version of the 170?

How much did he give for the 160? I have one for sale, runs great undercarriage is 75%, great machine. Im not sure on a price but was wondering if 10k was a good price.

Poclain

oh yes hes a bit strange i brought my d4c from him about three years ago that yard certainly is a sight to be seen,when we loaded my d4 it was onto a flatbed he lifted it with this old crane ,the hoist did not work he could only boom in/out i must say a bit frightening i soon backed under as soon as it was high enough

Does anyone have the address for this supplier please? as I am after some parts for a Poclain to rebuild and it looks like he has them. :)
