I found a 313 BSR Cat Excavator with a blade on the front with 5500 hrs showing. I would appreacite any and all feedback on this GRAY market machine! The boom configureation could be a very handy tool at times along with the zero tail swing. Thanks for any input. Divedigger
Hi divedigger, In my experience the Cat dealers in my and your area don't support these grey market machines. There's nothing necessarily wrong with the machines, it's just you'll have a difficult time getting parts for it because they don't have the parts breakdowns on them. If the machine comes with a parts book, even if it's in Japanese, it's a little easier to obtain parts because then you have a part # to work with. But still a little more challenge than a typical domestic market machine. Hope that helps a little.
313 Thanks for the info Atco, now is especially the best time to listen!
