At least you will know exactly what you have when you get done. Sure it will cost more than you was planning on but when you get done go price a new one and you will not have those big payments every month :) Trying to help lol I have done worse down through the years
Very True! I found more since this video...I'll include in the next video of installing a hydraulic thumb. I feel good knowing it will all be new undercarriage when I'm done and should last me several years....I hope!
Looks like your sprockets warn out, that could cause lot noise, especially with rubber tracks. Buy you know what new excavator cost probly $ 80,000 or 90,000, sure you may need to invest $3,000 or $5,000
After looking at everything a little closer, I found the main issue with the left side... I put it in the "Adding a Thumb" video. I'm still waiting on rollers for the right side...that should help also.
Hitachi in their infinite wisdom put the a/c heater unit under the floor & surprise surpise it fills up with dirt & dust & water.😂
lol...ya, great design! I'm sure the mice will make it a nice home also.

Trust but validate!
Please learn to pre heat bucket when you weld on it
Great job so far. Can’t trust many people these days with used equipment. How many hours does it have on it?
@darwindropmazda about 5600hrs... she's a little sloppy... I'm about to do some more work on it and I'll try and make a good video 🙂
@@BeltechLLC thanks for the great content! Keep us posted! That is a lot of hours on her! Lol
@@darwindropmazda Thanks for watching! I'll do my best to make watchable videos...lol
Each drive motor is probably $3,000 each
your front wheel is locked up (see 37min on the video)
Thanks Steven! when I was filming, i didn't notice it was locked up, but...I did end up figuring it out and replaced it in the next video
