Just bough a dead EX-58mu Previous owner broke the main valve bank. All 8 of the little spool valve spring tower caps on the side sheared off, so I'll be buying parts in the future. Local Hitachi dealer is saying that they are 3-2 months out and a custom made to order part. Since this isn't a common machine, being grey market, I need to find a North American market equivalent. Does anyone know if models like a ex50 or ex60 would share the same parts? Need rear engine body panels too. I doubt that Hitachi would make a 1-off machine with unique parts and not share them in other models.
Screenshot below from the EX58MU manual. Also ,search your model at AVSpares https://avspare.com/ . When selecting a part#, the system will show if it is used on any other models. .
Any manufacturer tags on the main control valve ?
Excellent info. I'll be doing a clean up on it and looking for all the tags shortly. Thx
