Re: Hymac Excavators
What engines in the 121? If it's the 6d a swop might be easier, also I think lack of space not the financial side could be the governing factor In restoring these machines

Hi Jeremy,
I don't know what engine is in the 121, but I would have thought if its a 4 cyl it would have been at least a 4-236 or 4-270,
Can't say I know of a 4104, there was a 4-99, 4-107, 4-108 and 4-154 but I think they would all have been too small to do the job.

Fred I'll have to look in one of my brochures/reference books and check out exactly which engine it is.

Re: Hymac Excavators
Hi Nicky thanks; yes the work is continuing at a steady pace, I have two more articles prepared for CP&M on the work carried out on the machine so far, it does take time to get things done with the machine being kept a long way from home.
So far I have simply tackled jobs that tend to be small jobs with the exception of the hydraulic pumps; I want to carry out much more time consuming work on her including much bigger tasks; I have several things that need to be done but they will have to wait their turn, to be fair I have really enjoyed the restoration work carried out to date and I'm in no hurry to arrive at the finished article, I was up there on Friday working away at it and will return there next week sometime all being well.

er ... these were all imported FAIs surely
If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!
