Hi everyone! Im new to this forum & first time posting. I recently acquired this excavator and im trying to find out what the year make & model is, i have searched every inch found only a little japanese tag of some sort think its for the radiator. the paint seems to be of the original color except for sum sort of white primer underneath in areas. I have exhausted all my avenues trying to identify it so hopefully someone here can help or send me in the right direction! I do apologize for the limited pics they somehow got deleted but i will have better pics of this tomorrow. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks
What kind of motor? data plates and casting numbers on motor? numbers on hydraulic valve assemblies?
IHI, maybe?
Has a similar boom arrangement to the mitsubishi mrx35
Thanks! i found a tag on the valve cover but couldnt read it, its a nightmare trying to get any info off the engine without removing it! but in the morn ill give it the ole college try, see if i can get anything off the valves, cyl's, engine ect. The engine looks fairly new compared to the machine prob a replacement but i did just find the old bill of sale it stated this exactly model 3TK134L-RNK Engine #02248 or 02249 Replacement 1429 Yanmar Diesel Engine. i didnt have any luck making heads or tails with that info almost wondering if that was just made up bogus info to sale it! ill get some more info Thanks again!
You might be on to something there. Every picture I Google of an MRX35 seems to match up with everything on OP's machine. Even looks like Mitsubishi's colour they use on their lift trucks.
Wowzer i think you found it my friend! looks like the counter weight & access panels all match up, i never would have thunk it being a Mitsubishi. Yep i think you saved me from pulling out all my hair thats grown out during this quarantine lol so now i got something to match it up with today when i get some daylight! Big Thanks again for taking the time to research that for me that was way cool! ill keep you posted on my findings
Yep, hatch covers and etc. sure seem to match.
