JD mid 80’s 70 series need help

Travis Kanaval · 2019-05-11 12:20

Hey guys I recently picked up a mid 80’s John Deere 70 series excavator and don’t know a lot about it. Machine runs and operates as it should but there are some hydraulic leaks and the throttle cable needs to be replaced. But I’m wondering where I can get a service manual? And hoping I can still get parts for this this mid 80’s machine Any help is appreciated Thanks

    Here are some pictures. Also the center pin deal is leaking but doesn’t seem terrible. Wonder what kind of job that is? But this is my first excavator Thanks
