Hi guys. I recently perchased a 1988 model Hitachi UH143 30 tonne excavator. I am struggling to find any workshop manual or owners manual. Does anyone know of a good place (online) to find manuals for old machines? Or is anyone familiar with the UH143? P.S. I'm in Sydney Australia. Thanks guys.

Thanks for that mate. ; )
here you go! http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m38.l1313&_nkw=Hitachi+UH143&_sacat=See-All-Categories put the "Hitachi UH143" as saved search, and E Pay will inform you when somebody is willing to sell a manual! or something else that has to do with that machine. I have found manuals for all my machines on epay, and most of them really cheap! recently i gott all the manuals for my D41S-3 trackloader, the other option was to buy from Komatsu the "new style" manual, a CD-rom that costs almost 1000$ but covers all the Komatsus, thats what i really need...
New member here. I also just purchased a Hit 270 and had the same question. on a related hitachi note, is it possible to convert the cat controls to JD? I feel like a newbie attempting to wrap my brain around the cat configuration. My wife's so disappointed in my equipment operator abilities I think she's considering divorce.
Uuuuuuh...I'm going to go out on a limb here, and assume you posted this in the wrong thread.
if it does'nt have the box just behind the cab to change the controls then call a mechenic because you have to swap some hoses and good lord above it's a pain but they make a box you can run hoses to and all you have to do is take out a bolt and move a small flat lever and presto you have j/d one way cat the other
say what?? does JD have some other control pattern on the levers? man that must cut down on sales, when everybody else use CAT style pattern. I did know some asian machines sold in asia use some other pattern, but didn't know it's common in the states also!
yeh old style j/d was boom and swing in left hand and stick and bucket in right everybody doe's it different south georgia is mostly j/d and north georgia is cat there is a box just behind the cab with a bolt in it wrench out the bolt move the lever and you have j/d controls on cat machine
