i have a i.h.i. 28j 6500 lbs and i bought it with 3400 hours and now 3900 hours on it.. i am very happy with it, but now i am buying a bigger one.. yeahhh a mitsubishi.. mm45 and that is same as 304.5 caterpillar, mm35 is same as caterpillar 303.5 so parts should be easy to get after knowing that. if you call finning and ask for mitsubishi parts they say huhhh and dont have a clue. in the 90,s all caterpillar excavators were built in japan and small or minis were sold as mitsubishi, and bigger ones as caterpillar.. then in 1999 i do believe they formed a new deal and painted them yellow instead of green and called them caterpillar instead. a few updates to the cab etc may be a little different, but all in all it should be same parts. early to mid 90,s mitsu used kubota engines in some models, or others should have fairly common mitsu engines in them, or at least thats what i have read so far! gerry in canada
