Mini Excavator For Birthday - PowerFab 125 WTD

Over a year ago I received this made in Great-Britain PowerFAB 125 WTD MINI, or I would even go so far that I'd say a MICRO excavator as a birthday present from my father who rescued it from being hauled into the scrap steel company. It is clapped out and not very well maintained, but hey, it cost 150€ which is a reasonable price for something like that in the condition that it is in right now. The plan with this machine is to re-bore and recondition all the moving joints while checking the operation of the zerk fittings and the condition of some of the welding that has been done on this excavator to bring it back to a proper working order. I expect it to be a great helper on the homestead and just as big as needed. Okay, it could be always bigger but hey, it'll do the job IMHO. I also want to make tracks for it because as you can see in the video it gets a lot of wheel spin. I didn't stretch the boom out to get it nose heavy, that's true, but still, it could use some more grip and replacing those front paws with a single blade would be an idea so I could level the dirt after it has been excavated, too. But let's see how that'll work out. Thanks for watching and see you next time! Cheers!
