We couldn't pass up an opportunity to see if we could get this old girl running again.
What do you think? Is this old girl worth restoring? Leave a comment and let us know!
Mitsubishi MS030 excavator
Thank you as always for the continued support.

Nicely done gents! A happy, healthy, prosperous, safe and peaceful new year guys!
Thank you! Same to you👍🏻 always nice when it is a good result on a #willitstart video, was starting to doubt if we’d have to dive deeper into the engine but we got there
Nice work guys. Glad you got it going. Hopefully it will see a new life. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I would call that successful attempt to first understand the status of the engine and other diagnostic features to keep the engine running and see what is needed to bring it back to optimal condition as a realabl machine ...job well done and good luck.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it👍🏻
Well done lads. I have had a lot of 3 cylinder Asian engines in different farm machinery. What I found with them is they won't start without the Glow plugs being used always. I had a digger with similar problems to that one. I found to get her going I'd use a hot air gun into the air intake and leave it running till she started. That way she's getting constant hot air while I'd be turning her over. Worked every time.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it, the hot air gun is a good idea I’ve even pre heated diesel to try to aid the process
I was thinking exactly the same thing using the hot air gun, and yeah all the asian engines always seem to need a lot of pre-heat to get them going.
Nice work.
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video and the thought process and explanations, I did start to question whether it would be a strip down job but perseverance paid off and it’s a nice machine👍🏻
Very like the kh90
Did you adjust the valve lash ?
2000 hours engine shouldn't be worn out,so i suspect valves not sealing properly and difficult to start in cold weather until you build up enough heat to expand valves so they seal properly.
compression testing a diesel is only good for testing cylinders relative to each others,the compression glowplug bore adapter do not have the same volume as the glowplug itself,so the compression will be low for sure.
Nice work.
We checked it, but only as a means of a more accurate check to see if the valves were seated. The exhaust valves were slightly over spec of 0.010" but nothing that would stop it running. No adjustment was made at risk of the clearences becoming too tight if the valves were infact not seated.
its done 12,000 atleast
Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku!!!
- Pozdrawiam z Polski
Dziękuję, mam nadzieję, że miło spędziłeś święta w Polsce
if you have a compression issue , you can better bring a jumpbooster with 24volts , if you want it to get it going
We did try to swing it over on 24 but worries about damaging the starter👍🏻
A wise Man once said Japanese kit was built to perform, not built to last. Buy new, get 4-5 good years out of it and get rid pronto.
My old Gaffer back in the early 90's bought an old Hitachi UH07 to move scrap cars and load waste. It had a Hino engine, and was worn to buggery when he bought it, needless to say it wasn't long before it started playing up. Putting water in the oil and overheating, we thought it had blown the head gasket, and when the Engineer took the head(s) off, the bores were so worn, you could see the rings poking out the sides of the pistons.
Wow Nick the old hino engine was well worked and worn then!
@@RustNRestoration as I recall, we had a length of wire with a crocodile clip either end, to use from battery to glow plugs first thing to get her started. She also had the Engine stop on a decompression lever in the cab, so you'd operate that to give the engine an extra burst of speed when cranking.
Operating, you had to be gentle or she'd stall on you! Also had a dead Track Motor, so would just about track in a straight line, but turning, you had to operate the tracks in opposite directions!
When she finally gave up, I tracked her into a corner of the yard, and parked her up, she was still there when I left 3 years later.
Gaffer needed a replacement, we had a nice Cat 21 on hire which he could have bought for £10K, but being the tightwad he was, he opted for a MF 450D for £2K. He got robbed at that, it had been on demolition, and was wrecked.....
On Lifting its bonnet and seeing No Air Filter Would be a warning sign, This Motor has seen excess Starter Fluid and the Bores are Glassed To the Point of Not start able! But that's just My Opinion, Had a Brother that That Used Starter Fuild on a Tractor to this Point rather than fixing the Glow Plugs set-up, being a cheap skat ended up expensive!
We didn’t know much about its past Fred we did find out that it had a newish engine fitted years back, a guy commented on here to say they suffer from low compression
I cant say that i have ever seeen one of these it does not look to bad . All the best to you .
It is certainly rare Andrew, I spoke to Barry Cosslett who had the Mitsubishi dealership for Wales & South West and he didn’t sell any of them as they were marketed by Mitsubishi Agricultural division and not the Construction machinery dicision
I heard the other cylinder come on line finally. She did miss on two cylinders at first gradually getting the valve seats to seal. The small amount she came up with oil to the rings meant the valves at first did not seal. When the video break came and she came back all 4 cylinders were firing.
Took a while for it to get there but it was worth it👍🏻
Almost a new doorway for the barn😂
Apparently a tractor ran into the barn from the other way years ago, we almost returned the compliment🤣🤣🤣
Nice one boys👍.
@@richardjones3112 thanks! Glad you enjoyed it👍🏻
Its always easier when its in a barn/shelter
Yeah it saves the weather rusting things and the freeze thaw is not as harsh, a rare gem👍🏻
Top job lads
Thank you, glad you enjoyed👍🏻
Looks more like water or crud in the fuel
We did suspect the fuel🤔 but it wouldn't fire on ether either
Class video to see this lovely Mitsubishi digger come back to life to hear her suckin diesel ⛽️ 😀 again is she gonna be forsale good mechanicing
Thanks👍🏻the owner is keeping it and the intention is to take it to a local working plant show this year I believe
@@RustNRestoration would the digger be better with rubber tracks
I couldn't help but notice that there was a ' Landie'
at the back of the shed
is it a runner ? , may be
work on that ? ❤😲😳
@@charlesallanstewart-kl2op yes I think it was a P registered, I’m sure the owner would let us have a go at starting it in the future👍🏻
Nice😍😍😍
Thanks👍🏻glad you enjoyed it
I had a 1.5 tonns with 3 cylinder mitsubishi. Was run without air filter. Wery low compression.
@@EgilJohansen-j3v that’s interesting, air filter would restrict air flow enough on low compression engine
Good job guys getting the mitzy going really had me on the edge of my seat willing it to go when you were on the starting stage, do you think a damn good servicing with fresh oil etc will make her usable again or is it going to require more? ps ether starting systems were/are quite common --- plenty of John Deere combines i've seen have ether systems for cold starting out in the mid west.
Thanks Steve! Yeah I did start to think maybe it had beaten us but Thomas wasn’t going to give up when we were so close👍🏻 I think it will be given a good service and a new smart paint appearance hopefully, not many of these ms030 about in such good shape
Had a new Mitsubishi MS 030 in the early 80’s it was a cracking little digger ..
Yes a very compact machine which was probably a big advance on what uk operators had been used to👍🏻
Stuck rings? Put ATF down in the cylinders, let it soak over night.
That was our next plan of action if all else failed! Have you used it with success?
I think 💭 early Cat machines under 12 tonnes until the mid 90's are bagde engendered Mitsubishi units.
Yes I think Caterpillar bought out Mitsubishi and early machines still had the Mitsubishi style cabs👍🏻
Put a heat air gun in the intake end start it it wil the rings are stuck it needs hot air to start
One thing needed was different person on the throttle!!!
😳🤣🤣
small bore short strok diesls you got to lov4 a long stroke get her on 2 and shes away
Yes struggling with 2 down on a short stroke Simon🤦🏼
How is the dynahoe doing anymore videos
We’re concentrating on building a shelter to get it under cover at the moment, still work goes on in the background researching and looking for spares and missing parts to get it back up together👍🏻
matt would of had it going in 10min max not all the pissing about you do
What do you think he would have done?
@@RustNRestoration you watch you so you should know
Ive operated a old 360 not so long ago , never again they are so bad compared with modern machines
Yep but it’s all we knew back in the day, and these were an improvement on the earlier British offerings
