I bit the bullet and had the excavator delivered last wednesday. The PO had indeed fixed a few leaks on the hoses, but one of the boom lines for the dipperstick had been replaced prior, and this was done by cutting and rewelding a regular fitting onto the old hose compression end. It was leaking at the weld whenever I put pressure on the dipperstick. I had to reweld it with the mig.took 3 times to get it sealed. I can see that this has been the fix anytime an original hose was replaced. I plan on fabricating a grubber to use on my juniper eradication. The Case dealership said they could get parts but they are $$$$. I think he said a starter was listed at around 3 thousand bucks. WOW.

that sounds more like a reasonable cost.
Do you have any idea how much fuel per hour one of the 6 cylinder deutz turbo engines will use? I don't really know how many horsepower the engine is rated at. I am curious as to what my fuel costs are going to be. I am looking for a service manual for the case 170c machine. I found a manual for a 170B, which I may get but I am not sure if It is Close to the same machine. I did find an operators book, now if I could only figure out how to buy it on e-bay.

Most machine's fuel tanks are sized to have enough fuel for a 10 hr shift of hard work.
Just a guess but likely not far off.

I looked at the tank and it appears to be at least a hundred gallons. I won't get to go play until next weekend. I am having the steel priced for a grubber, and It looks like about 60 cents a pound is the going cost for 11/2 to 2 inch plate around here. We have a steel fab plant here and they will cut the pattern for me on there big table if I can give them good plans. I am waiting to find the specs on the bushing pin sizes for this machine. I don't know if these things are standardized. I read on a bucket website that their class 40 bucket fit my machine as well as a JD 200 class , and a few kobelco and link belt units.

Rick, they likely have a burning table with a tracer eye. That needs a to size drawing and it will follow the lines on drawing. They can cut a few at once if you can get them out of one sheet of steel side by side. Is a Grubber a Skeleton bucket for taking out roots and leaving soil? 100 gal tank should last a 150/180 hp machine a full shift. Newer hoes use a lot less fuel to do the same work.

Hi The thing I call a grubber is a straight blade at the bottem of two straight arms hanging down in place of the bucket. Kind of like a big grass sling. It cuts just under the dirt and takes out the root, without disturbing the soil too much. It makes the work fast as the blade can disrupt going forward or in reverse. Here we only have to root up the brush, and leave it, in order to fulfil the govt. contract.
