I'm pretty new to heavy equipment, and was looking to purchase a certain Case 780 that a local guy has. The problem is this: He says it runs for about 20 minutes, or digs for 10, then tries or succeeds in stalling, like it isn't getting fuel. The price seems reasonably fair at 6000, but is this something you'd walk away from? Or could it be a simple fix? Everything else seems pretty tight.
Welcome to HEF, Muddy Waters ! It may be as simple as dirty fuel filters. Or a lot of other things. Nasty stuff in the fuel tank. plugged vent in the fuel tank cap, lift pump that is failing. The list goes on. Is it a 780CK with no letters ? Like maybe a 780B ? If it was close to me I would buy it for $6000.00.
This is the machine
It's a 780ck
