[QUOTE="cmb7684, post: 52884, member: 1698"] If everything goes right I will be picking up a 331 has about 2600 hours on it. It needs a motor as they blew the other one. Anyone have any idet what motor is in it? I have heard its a kubota 1702 or maybe a 2203. I plan to tinker with it so I have time as Im buying it to play with. I have never sat in an excavator much less operated one. Digging around it looks to need a motor, 1 track looks a little worn. The cooler and radiator where they took it out to inspect the motor and let it sit out in the weather looks a little rusted. The seat and controls are weather worn. The story goes they were running it and it started running like garbage. Got it back on to the trailer where it still sits today. They pulled the hydraulic oil tanks, cooler and radiator to get a peek at the motor. They saw a hole in the block where a piston came through. The maching has sat there ever since. Said to have sat up about going on 2 years. Anyone know what I should look for? How much is it worth? Should I rebuild or is it not worth it and should I just sell it as is? If anyone has a download site that I can download a manual that would be great. [/QUOTE]
