Doosan excavator sl75v

[PILOON]

I know a few folks operating Dosan machines and they are good.
They are also rebranded under other names.

It takes a lot of truck and trailer to move that around. Just keep that in mind, these machines are heavy *** pigs. But oh boy, do they work well.

My friend can not make it over to look at it. I called the local Doosan dealer. They will be sending a mechanic for a field inspection. I will not be able to be there. What questions should I be asking the mechanic over the phone? Or just let him do his thing.

Are you paying the dealer ? It looks good in the pic, low hours If all the pins are tight and no cracks on boom , frame. I would go look at it myself and run it

Yes. Probably will be $500. I think it is piece of mine being this is my first excavator.

Isn't the machine in Connecticut?
Not that far from NH. to CT.
Just a day...round trip.

Free time is a luxury. if the report is good I will probably go down with the transporter.

I'd ask him to check it out as if HE were buying it. :thumbsup:

Here is the report. Looks good. The dealer told the seller that if i do not buy it he will. Once i get the machine I will be doing a full service. I figure Napa will have all the filters and fluids that I will need. I never serviced an excavator before but have been doing all of my own service for 25 years. I have the ability . Any suggestions as to what I should be doing or fluid types? I always buy service manuals for everything I own. I figured I should do the same for this? Forget the manual. Doosan just called me and quoted $600. He even said that is absurd.
