Hitachi ex50urg boom refit

Anybody still running these excavators? Just curious and looking for information as usual. Its a gray market machine from the eighties. Not sure but i think the Deere 50 is a close match for parts. I'm going to replace bearings, pins and hoses on this articulating boom/dipper this fall and winter. Any tips good or bad appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Its like operating a wet noodle. Well not that bad, but getting there. Got small is logs for a chain block and easy access to the road from where i want to do it.
