Well I fixed the starter myself got it back on. I’ve been using it to cut ditches in the sides of my driveway. Pretty tough little machine. Got my gauge set in yesterday and reading the manual to where to check pressure and how to adjust. Just a little nervous about doing that part.

Hey guys been using my mini and getting use to the controls. I dug out the bank behind my driveway today and spread it on my driveway with my Mahindra 5555. Had to dig ditches down both sides. I’ve got 60 tons of asphalt millings coming in soon 20 tons at a time. I got some pictures for everyone and a small video

Update. Been digging ditches and noticed the cylinder I just had repacked is leaking out front. Small leak but a leak. The bucket cylinder. Downtime to take off and take back and get repaired.

To the OP PooroldX , thats a kick azz excavator (y) . Big fan of the old IHI stuff here . Still parts and support at IHI ACQUIRED BY KATO WORKS . You probably aware there in Kentucky . Excellent no frill products . I use to own a CL-45 (track loader ) . I liked there old paint schemes they used on there equipment . Some people would confused them for rental units . Now IHI was taken over by Kato , pronouced Kahto . Kato now is rebadged painted yellow like a Cat or Case , Gehl ect . God bless you got a good unit , money well invested in it .
