“face washing” on an old piece of equipment

Sometimes buying new is not always the answer, we have to give jop opportunities to our local welders, painters, mechanics and to only to the asian people Here is an old Komatsu PW130-6 wheel excavator we had in our stock with 9000h ont the clock.

    This machined was alteady stopped because she did not work proporly, she couldnt almost move, we changed the relief valve and she gained life again, the only problem was moving the wheels, then we repaired the swivel wich in these wheel machines its a major headache, there is alot of functions in the lower structure that need hydraulic oil. All oil´s and filters changed, new radiator core, repaired operator seat, repaired hydraulic rams, new electric throttle, repaired bucket, among other problems solved, changed alot of leaking hoses. And she is ready for work.
