    Whoops the operator shouldn't have been heating his lunch up on the exhaust manifold :laugh Its sad to see a million dollar or more machine going up in flames its pretty much spare parts and scrap now.

    It's a shame to see a piece of equipment go out like that. This should be a reminder for everyone to keep a fire extinguisher on their machines at all times, and have the extinguisher checked out at least every six months. In my line of work, I see a lot of burnt crispy machines, machines that would still be working properly if a fire extinguisher had been handy. Oh yeah, Keep those catch pans clean too!!!!!

    The owner must have been balling in tears.

    The owner was probably phoning the insurance company can I have the insurance increased on the Komatsu 1800 I think it might catch on fire :bouncegri Hydraulic oil burns hotter than gasoline I use used hydraulic oil to burn bramble bushes mix it with a little bit of diesel fuel.

    UP for this topic Does someone know, where this machine might be? Dismantled perhaps? Looking for a used dipper arm for PC1800, year 1998. Dipper arm is for the backhoe type machine. contact: marko @ kopajupid.ee
