2020 SDLG E6360F Crawler Excavator

I inspected this SDLG E6360F excavator today. It had just been operated by the operator, so all the parts were hot; this made checking for leaks much easier.First, I opened the engine cover to see if I could find any wet areas – no wet areas in the hydraulic parts; no new leaks of oil anywhere; the area is in the normal amount of dust, and the surface rust on the manifold blocks is what you would expect after having been exposed to the outside and the damp weather. Fuel filters have no charcoal so it is white, which indicates that someone was maintaining it, no cracked or bulging hoses and the coolant tank is filled to about 50 percent and has no pinkish fluid – which would indicate coolant leaking from the cooling system. I wiped the dirt out of travel motors and didn’t find any wetness under it, just others having seals in good condition.

Cabin is indeed a bit worn, but that really doesn’t matter as there’s no damage, the floor mat that has mud tracked everywhere is filthy and the seat has a one of those after-untwisted covers that has also seen its best days. Tight controls, no looseness in the josticks despite the rubbing smooth rubber “grips”. Bucket outside is worn like you would expect it to be – pretty bad where you would see rounding of the teeth of your bucket – it’s probably time to replace your bucket if you are doing digging and not cleanup work. Very thick mud all over the undercarriage, couldn’t see every one of the propellers correctly, but in the replacement propellers I saw were square and didn’t appear to wobble when it was running. Wear on pins on boom and stick are all normal and there is some surface rust on the chrome cylinder rods but not pitted or scored to the point where it would cause a seal to be blown next week.After reading the comments below I realised I had a second look when I was getting down there – what I think I saw and thought it was a bit damp near the pump but then got out and down there and used my torch and nothing; no leaks whatsoever; just old grease with dirt. Also outsweep of bearing is dry.  One thing that caught my eye was that they had this blue flag above their cab – I was not sure which company they were from. All the parts are in good working order, it’s digging decently and there is no burning up or excessive noise. Will not have been show room clean but is a running excavator. Soonish it’s time for track work! If you are obtaining at the correct number it is definitely solid iron.
