Project IHI 35J excavator bring back to life

[Pooroldexcavator]

To the OP PooroldX , thats a kick azz excavator . 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 .

Thank you very much. I love this excavator. Was helping my kids on their property recently and ripped the right track because of age and dry rot. Price of new tracks flipped my brain but got to have them. Went ahead a replaced in a pair. Changing in the field and mud is very fun. I painted it back to Original colors switch are hard to find. Still looking for Decals.
