Importing and modifying a new mini excavator from China

[brandonb]

Are the two unused terminals the ones wired to the led in the picture?
If so a jumper from the load side of the switch to one terminal and a ground wire on the other should make it light up when on.

edited;
Likely the load side power should go to the resistor

This worked. I connected another wire to ground and connected it to the other side of the switch.

Thanks!

I am not sure of the Brand of the Knock Off yet, my Stand On and Mini Wheel loader had the 739cc Rato.

I hope that 1 pump is dedicated to Travel Motors, if not that is my first task

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this MP46. Several of this type sold today at a local auction for about $6-7k.

I had it off the Trailer last night, cleaned the glass. Still haven't dug anything yet. Liking the Pilot Controls, Swing Boom will take some learning.

A manual for the Cluster would be awesome. The Fuel level Warning was going off and reading 0-15%, Alarm going off, so I jhit too many Program Buttons, now it reads 0 but not alarm.

That is a Good Deal. I followed Today's Sale, only 2, MP46 went through out of 190 Minis. They fetched $11K CDN each.

Further to travel for Me, even though it is My Province. I traveled in 3 Provinces to pick up Mine. Goofy here in Canada, Maybe Population Density, Maybe Rural vs Urban. But Eastern and Western Prices are Higher than Central Canada's

MN Sale they were fetching $8250US

I saw three MP46's sell a few weeks ago for $6750, $7250 and $7750. It was only a 2 hour drive from me too but I resisted the urge to snatch them up. It wasn't easy. I also saw a 3ton NT30 with Perkins diesel go for $11k.

checked air-fuel ratio with wide band meter. expected it to be on the lean side. it was right about 12-13 to 1.

Well this is my first post. After lurking here for a few months and reading everything I can I am now the happy owner of a Bison BS20 that I got at RB last week. I got it home Friday night and have already put 16 hours on it.

I must say that I really love that this thread has gone on for years and has not been hijacked by the "China is crap crowd" that I see on most of the facebook posts.

I do have a few questions that I will post here in the next day or two but I think I should get proper photos to ask the questions correctly.

Thank you to everyone who is active in this thread it has been a wealth of info and a special thank you to dfkrug for creating and continuing to post here for so long.

Is yours a diesel or gas model? How much did you score it for at the auction? Did you have to ship it or were you able to pick it up?

It is a Kubota diesel . I won at $6500 and was able to pick it up. It is only a 3 hour drive to FT Worth for me, but if you let google give you directions on the way back it can turn in to a 5 hour drive. I actually got the BS20 and a BS12 ($1800). It was a timed auction and when it got down to less than a min they bid it up to my max of $6500 and I panicked and put in a low ball on the BS12 thinking I was about to be out bid. I ended up winning both. So now I am trying to sell the BS12 on FB and maybe make a bit so total package ends up a bit cheaper for me.

First, welcome to TBN, Phil.

If you are 3h from Ft Worth, I am guessing that still puts you in TX.

Post a photo or 2 of the BS20. If it is a 2T unit, you may have the better buckets. You did well for a 2T Diesel, probably with pilot controls. Maybe $8000 total cost?
