Hello, and nice to see you're working on reviving a Poclain excavator. If I may ask: what type of manuals (in the end) were you using?

@JBFromOZ 2 ай бұрын

Hi there! I have very little in the way of operations manuals, however I have e managed to locate a number of parts manuals, currently my blocker is the taper bushing between the pump and the Deutz motor driveshaft.

Stick with it, don`t have any second thoughts. If I was closer, i`d love the opportunity to hook up and help out. Just passed 61 now and getting a little worn out and tired after a life of working mobile on various plant here in the UK, Europe and South Africa. I`ll take a look through my box of Poclain info and see what i`ve got, though I think most of it is what the old chap had and will be pre 1980. Good Luck.

Thanks heaps for your encouragement, hoping to get some time on the old girl once the weather cools off a bit

You will have to get shares in a hyd hose company , also Caltex ! . I hope you realise what you are in for & have a massive budget . 👍

Oh uncle Max! I know only enough to be dangerous and have no clues in my pocket :-)

I was thinking the same thing! That thing can easily eat a few thousand dollars fixing hydraulic hoses and that is after what ever hydraulic issues it has gets sorted so you can use it.
