    Shouldn't be. Parts are available OEM & aftermarket for Cat excavators manufactured in the 1980s. For a machine of that age parts availability shouldn't be an issue. You might draw breath at some of Cat's parts pricing though.

    I think that you will be able to find them. Just the question is if they will be available locally or will you need to order them.

    When you can't make a four year old machine go, there's something wrong with this industry. But then we knew that.
